Firstly let me start with the pitiful excuses as to why the communication has been poor of late. 

The first, work, is something that Triathletes are not very accepting of. It is usually greeted with comments like "Where are your priorities?". For this reason the second is also offered. My brother in law is breaking all sorts of copyright laws and uploading sections of the Tour de France for me to spend hours watching. Even though some of the SIR Cycling guys suggest that there is some way of getting live sections via Now Broadband, I have been unsuccessful in this endeavor. Even though the uploads are a day behind and are generally only around 40 mins of highlights, they are enough to give me my Tour Fix. (Hope none of you reading this are copyright lawyers!)

OK. To the important notes. The first thing to remind you of is the training race on Sunday the 22nd again at Shek O. Remember that like all Dragons Training Races now, you must be a member to compete so that you are covered by insurance. If you want to race and you are not yet a member, go to the website and complete the membership form there. You can also get a form to enter the race series from the website.

Secondly, there are still a few people who are not aware that race 3 has now been changed to Sunday August 26th due to a clash with a resheduled Splash 'N Dash race on the 19th. Please update your calendar and do not come on the 19th expecting a Dragon's Race.

Thirdly, for the cyclists in the group, there is a very rare Criterium Race in Hong Kong on the 29th of this month. Details:
=======

Closing date 13-Jul

Finally, a reminder to use the forum on the website http://hktriclub.com/cm/component/option,com_fireboard/Itemid,49/ for questions and comments related to triathlon in Hong Kong. There are often comments sent to the club email address that are far more appropriate for the forum. If you have not yet registered, go there and do so, it is free and optional so you do not automatically get subscribed when you join the club.

Happy Training!
