Welcome to the Griffith Feral Tri 'ards

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.

This Week:

The first three placegetters may not be expecting to see their names up there this week because there were others who crossed the line ahead of them. There was a visiting non member who would not control himself and run with his Dad, and a recovering knee injury who knew that his handicap would be added later.  So Liam was first across the line in Race Six of the 2008 Winter Competition ahead of Sally (I told you you were doing well!) and a very surprised Ron.

In the short course John will finally earn himself a handicap after this week's win ahead of Matthew and Hugo. John has been consistent in attendance this competition and has slowly worked his times down by a whopping 6 minutes.

The social event was well attended and enjoyed by all.  The sight of the evening was the arrival of the two couriers with the pizzas.  They were followed into the club by a very hungry looking horde of children.  There would have been 20 of them!! But no-one went hungry and we look forward to more occasions (that don't clash with those of other sports).

Rule Number One (from the Pine Belt Runners):

1. Don’t be a whinger. Nobody likes a whinger, not even other whingers.

And a Feral postcard from Di about her 'tramp' in New Zealand.

Some photos from Race Three and a little video to show you how to run up that steep hill at the start. (1.2Mb)

Please!  Make sure you arrive early enough and get your name ticked off for the correct run.  With 100 or so people waiting to get started it is all a lot easier if you are co-operative.  If you change your mind about which course you run, tell the handicapper.  You wouldn't want a search party out looking for you if you are already back at the water tower, would you?

And in news!!

Memberships are for a financial year. They will be up for renewal from July 1st and you will receive your renewal in the mail.  New joggers are being asked to join on the day they start.

2008 Joggers Program, in case you missed it in the mail.

A photo with no name, no label, no anything.  What do you know??

A re-issue of a past history photo. Take a look at Geoff Moore's marathon record on his blog.  This is him in the 1979 Gilbro Hanwood marathon.
