This is the official web page for the Griffith Feral Tri 'ards - a single place where you can find all you need to know about running and triathlon in Griffith NSW.

The joggers meet every Saturday at the Green Water Tower opposite Pioneer Park at 4.30 pm or 5.30 pm in Daylight Saving Time.

This Week:

You know, there are so many runners on the hill these days that you can probably be forgiven for not knowing who half of them are. If that's your case, you may not know who our top five place getters are for Race Six ofn the 2012 Winter Competition. So there's your mission for the next coule of weeks ... get out there and find out who Karen, Julieann, Allen, Brendon and Richard are and congratulate them on their high placings. You can, of course, always wait until they pass you on the hill on their way to another victory - but then you may be one of the runners who never sees them because they start ahead of you and finish the same way. Either way, get there early enough so you can suss out the competition and make them feel welcome.

You may have noticed that some of these competitors have stepped up from the short course! That's both a good and bad thing. Good because it gives others a chance to shine and bad because they have succumbed to the pressure to do more. Participation is the key - not distance.

One of my keen correspondents last week was Anthony, anxious to tell us all about Nail Can Hill in Albury. Check out his postcard. Aren't they cool looking runners? Any club would be proud to have them. my apologies for misisng the link to the image. Go back and have another look at the eye candy.

And you may notice that there are a few extra little feet on the left hand side of our page! Work is in progress to organise our annual half marathon and a web site is in development. Keep Sunday June 24 free. You can run the 21.1km on your own, as a team of 2 or come along and support and cheer. Adam has been passing out entry forms on the hill on Saturdays.

And our Annual General Meeting is on Monday June 4 at 7.30pm at the Exies. Come along. You will already have noticed that we are not like 'other' clubs. And that stays true for the AGM. We welcome new members on the committee and in volunteer positions - but we do not co-opt people just because they have come along to the AGM. That meeting is all about your chance to meet the committee, hear what goes on behind the scenes, add your two bobs worth and be sociable. You won't get another chance for another year ...

The electronic tags are our only method of tracking your progress.   They are not only for timing, but also checking … who has gone out? … who has not come back! … and tracking your kilometres.

Keep your tags with your shoes.   No tag - no time - no exceptions.

 

And as well ...

Handicaps are important. See the FAQ page for why.

Drinking Water at the Lake!! Not a Bacchus on the Lake, but perhaps a Town to Lake finisher? What do you know?
