25.01.2022 COVID-19 UPDATE Following a directive from Triathlon Australia all ITC races and organised training sessions will be cancelled until the end of April. This includes, Wednesdays Harbour swim, Thursday run squad and April's club race. I would like to thank all our members for your support during these unprecedented times. I would also encourage our members to keep up to date with the latest advice being offered and in particular practice social distancing when training in gro...ups. We have one last race scheduled for the 16th of May followed by the presentation that night. If it is safe to do so, this will still go ahead. It would be a nice way to finish the season. Stay safe Jye Cajar ITC President

25.01.2022 Looking for some fun running options in good company over the next week? Join us for our easy Sunday club run, starting at North Wollongong Surf Club at 8am. T...he run is an hour or as little as you like. More importantly, don’t forget coffee afterwards at Mudcat at 9am. If you’re more like Maverick in Top Gun and feel the need for speed, we also have our Monday afternoon interval session at 5pm, also at North Wollongong Surf Club. All levels welcome! We hope to see you there.

25.01.2022 Just a reminder that run squad is at 5pm today meeting at North Wollongong surf club. Club coach Ben Bell will be on hand helping with run efficiency and technique. For more personalised coaching get in contact with Ben and watch your performance improve

24.01.2022 Make sure you Mark December 13 on your calendars! That is the date of our next club race. The perfect way to burn some calories before Christmas or to prepare for Elite Energy Events Callala Traithlon. Most importantly, this is a fully sanctioned event, meaning you’re covered in all aspects of safety and the correct following of procedures!

24.01.2022 The mornings are getting warmer, so why not join us this Sunday for our club run. We begin from North Wollongong Surf Club at 8am. The run is an hour or as little as you like. More importantly, don’t forget coffee afterwards at Mudcat at 9am. We also have our Monday afternoon interval session at 5pm, also at North Wollongong Surf Club. ... All levels welcome! We hope to see you there.

24.01.2022 Here are the results from this mornings club race, a big thanks to all who turned up, especially to help marshal and make sure the event went smoothly.

24.01.2022 Good news, the Club Championships haven't been cancelled for the season but moved to later in the year. Elite Energy have made Triathlon what it is today in the region and it would be great if ITC can get behind this event to not only support the club but triathlon. It is an awesome weekend away and great way to kick off the new season. If you interested, you enter the race the way you normally would (remember to select Illawarra Triathlon Club as your club) Also, if you can either reply to the is message, DM the club or Jye Cajar, I will organise a function for our members up in Forster.

23.01.2022 Congratulations to our very own Erin Hargrave NSW 35-39 State Champion

23.01.2022 CLUB RACE CANCELLED 21st of March The COVID-19 pandemic is an ever changing situation and after yesterday confirming that we will still try to go ahead with Saturdays club race, we have since had to reverse the decision and cancel. The safety and well-being of our club members as well as the wider community is the highest priority, so with no guidance available on what precautions we need to take to ensure a safe race, or if at all we can race, we have had to cancel.... The last thing I would want is an outbreak to occur to our members and the wider community, not to mention what it would do to the reputation of the club particularly with all other sport cancelled. I strongly advise to listen to the latest updates to ensure you remain safe during this time. If any information is received by the club on how to safely train I will share on facebook as well. Just remember that Triathlon will always be here, however if we don’t stop the spread, some of us won’t. Regards, Jye Cajar ITC President

19.01.2022 Triathlon Australia have today released their 'COVID-19 Smart Racing' guidelines to support event organisers to create safer events in a COVID-safe environment.... Together we are undertaking all necessary steps to ensure the health and safety of all members and participants. You can read the guidelines here: https://bit.ly/3dAFjW0 In addition, as of today, Triathlon Australia has decided to commence sanctioning for events and races. Events and races must comply with the local State/Territory, council regulations and TA Guidelines and will be considered on a case by case basis.

19.01.2022 A few key dates to remember!

18.01.2022 Hello Fellow ITC Members, It’s with much sadness that I am announcing that I will not be standing for President for the upcoming season. Unfortunately with increasing business and family commitments I am unable to do the role justice. I would never want it to be the stage where I am letting the club and you all down. During the last 4 years as a committee member I have had great delight in helping the club grow and watching individuals within the club grow. While I will be st...epping away from the President role, I still hope to be actively involved in the club and will work with the new president to ensure a smooth, seamless handover. Most importantly, I also wanted to say a big thank you to all the committee members I have worked with. We have achieved a lot for such a small committee. Lastly, if you have ever thought of playing a more active role in the club, now is the time. Whether you can commit to a job a month right through to be being President we would love to hear from you. I am always available to chat in more detail if you want to find out more. Cheers, Jye Cajar

13.01.2022 GROUP TRAINING'S BACK Welcome to the 2020-21 season and thank you all for your patience, loyalty and understanding during the back half of last season. The focus this year, is to give back to you as members of the club. Over the next week there will be some exciting announcements, so stayed tuned !! To kick things off we will be recommencing our group training with not 1 but 2 run sessions per week. ... Starting this Sunday the 5th of July we will have our friends of ITC run and coffee.

It would be great to see new faces (as well as the old) at these sessions. Thanks again for your support. Cheers, Jye Cajar ITC President

13.01.2022 As you would be aware, the World Health Organisation has declared COVID-19 a Pandemic, which is having far-reaching effects on both our local community and across the world. At this stage we will still be going ahead with our monthly club race this Saturday the 21st of March. The race is a small event and outdoors which will minimise some of the risks, however if you fall into the high risk categories which are elderly or immune-compromised it is recommended that you do not p...articipate, volunteer or spectate. We will add extra precautions around hygiene including not providing food, and asking people to bring their own water. We also have the option to change the wave starts to ensure everyone isn’t finishing at the same time to allow for social distancing I can’t stress enough that the health and wellbeing of our club members is the highest priority. The situation is ever changing and we will always be guided by the latest advice from both NSW Health and NSW Triathlon to keep our members safe. I believe that NSW Tri have a meeting tonight also to outline their position, so hopefully I can provide another update tomorrow. This is a tough call and I know it will divide opinion, however why ever we can safely continue to both train and race we will do so. Regards, Jye Cajar ITC President
