Racing begins on October 22nd 2011 so it is time to pull out the swimmers, pump up the tyres and dust the cobwebs off the runners as this year promises to be a big year for the Wild Dog Triathlon Club. This year we are working on developing our juniors and encouraging growth of our club. We are also working on getting a new timing system up and running that will take the pressure off those holding stop watches out of kindness. We would also like to say a big thank you to the local businesses that have jumped on board as sponsors of our club so far this year. Thank you to our first ever Gold Sponsor - Tim Worth from Maps Plus for the effort and time he has put into upgrading our website. We also would like to thank Bronze sponsors Chilli Cycles and Nichos Mega Sports for their much appreciated contributions. If you know of any local business that may be interested in sponsoring our great club please let us know.

Present: Rob Z, Pam Kiss, Donna Gibson, Justin Prestidge, Ian Gibson, Simon Righton, Kaylene Chaproniere, Alex Gibson, Harvey Scott

Timing Device

The club has purchased an electronic timing device through a grant from the Baw Baw Shire and club funds. It will allow competitors to wear a timing chip and will provide accurate split times and finish times. It is proposed that club members will make a one off purchase of their own chip for $20, which can be used for all club races. The equipment will be trialled over the next few weeks and will be used as the official timing for the corporate tri later in February.
