Speaker 2: They are holding something a little bit different this week

3
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 2: in an effort to give people a taste of what

4
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 2: triathlon is all about and of course get active. Now

5
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:15,120

00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 2: get active and try the sport. And joining me on

7
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:21,520

00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:24,439
Speaker 1: Good morning to you, Chris.

10
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 3: Hi there, Katie, I'm not the president. That's my girlfriend,

Speaker 3: babas the president.

12
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 1: Apologize, Barb my bad.

13
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:37,559
Speaker 3: She tells me what to do at home and at

00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 3: the club.

15
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 1: She's lovely. I'm sure she doesn't bosh you around too much. Chris.

16
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 2: Now, Chris, some tell us a little bit more about

17
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 2: this Progressive Triathlon, because if you're not the president, you're

18
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 2: a very active member, that's for sure.

19
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I certainly am.

20
00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 4: You know.

21
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 3: The Progressive Try is the first Trithleon that I did

22
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 3: five years ago, and just for anybody out there who's

23
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,040
Speaker 3: going to give it a go, I might feel embarrassed.

24
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 3: When I came out of the water at the waterfront,

25
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 3: I was thirteen minutes behind everybody else and they gave

26
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 3: me the biggest cheer.

27
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 4: In the world.

28
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 3: That was pretty good. So what will happen if people

29
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,479
Speaker 3: want to get onto the dar and Try club web page.

30
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 3: It's all explained there what you'll need and where to be.

31
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 3: But basically, on Friday afternoon at six o'clock we'll kick

32
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 3: off with a four hundred or eight hundred meters swim

33
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 3: and then we can all hang around the waterfront and

34
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 3: have some ice cream to get over the fact that

35
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 3: we've been there. And then on Sunday Saturday, we do

36
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 3: a ride at seven o'clock at Hidden Valley and who

37
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 3: doesn't want to go around Hidden Valley on their pushflate

38
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 3: room noises exactly? And then yeah, yeah, and then Saturday

39
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 3: afternoon we get to run past Mindle Beach after nurses

40
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 3: walk and back to the art Gallery. We've got a

41
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 3: two point five k or a five k run And

42
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 3: if you're a come and try person, just come and try.

43
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 3: You can do any of the events or you can

44
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 3: do all three.

45
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 2: How cool, now, Chris, how come Darwin Triathlon Club have

46
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 2: decided to sort of try it in this progressive way?

47
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 2: Is it really about trying to get new members or

48
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,799
Speaker 2: new people to give the try us lot to go?

49
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, it's just to get some new people to

50
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 3: come and have a look and see and get their

51
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 3: confidence up really, because you know, it's pretty a daunting

52
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 3: thing and to try and put all of it together

53
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 3: in one morning, you know, have a quick race, especially

54
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 3: in this heat, it's not a nice thing. So we're

55
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 3: trying to make it a little bit accessible for everybody

56
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 3: at a time of year where it's sort of a

57
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 3: bit hotter and get people involved.

58
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: So Chris, what are the distances?

59
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 3: So it's a pretty easy one we can do. There's

60
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 3: two different distances. A four hundred or an eight hundred

61
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 3: meters swim at the waterfront, so that's one around the

62
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 3: back of the new display that they've got there and

63
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 3: then back in and we'll have water safety to make

64
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 3: sure you're all okay. So twelve or two laps and

65
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 3: it's pretty nice. It's a bit warm in the water.

66
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 3: If we're at Hidden Valley, it's a twelve kilometer ride

67
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,799
Speaker 3: or twenty five kilometer ride if you're a little bit

68
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 3: more game. And there's actually a guy going to be

69
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 3: there on Saturday who's preparing for an iron Man and

70
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,799
Speaker 3: he's going to do a ninety k ride. He'll go

71
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 3: probably quickly look out of my twenty five.

72
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 1: He must be a beast, then he must be blood

73
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 1: a fast Chris.

74
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 3: Yeah. And then on the Saturday afternoon for the run,

75
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 3: we can do a two point five or a five

76
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 3: k run. I recommend everybody just does the five k,

77
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 3: just feel sick. At the end of it. We'll all

78
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 3: go to the Seve bub we'll have coming to eat

79
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 3: and drink, and we'll reminisce about how bad it really was.

80
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: Well, Chris, you write me in can't.

81
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 4: I was a bit.

82
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: Earlier in the year.

83
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 2: You know, You've been talking to Brontie and I and saying,

84
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 2: you know, I come and do a triathlon.

85
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: And I went and did the was it the.

86
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 2: Aquathon or it was like a run and a swim,

87
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 2: and you know I was standing around, Yeah, I stand

88
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 2: around waiting.

89
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: And originally I.

90
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 2: Thought I'll do the short one because you know, I'm

91
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 2: not you know, I haven't swum for quite some time.

92
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 2: And then it started pouring with rain and I was like, oh,

93
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 2: you know what, I'll just give the longest swimmer go.

94
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 2: And I think it was seven hundred meters. Now, I

95
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 2: haven't swum that far for quite some time. And you know,

96
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 2: then when you're amongst all these other people. You think,

97
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 2: oh yeah, I'll give it a red hot go.

98
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: And I swam as.

99
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 4: Fast as I have for many years, and I got

100
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 4: out of the pool and thought I am going to

101
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:39,679
Speaker 4: have a skew here, but I couldn't tried to run.

102
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 3: Then yeah, that's right, and you're amazingly well you coming just.

103
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 1: Behind oh, well behind her.

104
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 4: I think.

105
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 3: That's the way to get into it.

106
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 4: It is.

107
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 3: Really shorter or weirder events I would and just have

108
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 3: in the front of it.

109
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 4: Well.

110
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 2: But the thing I love about Darwin Trifle and Club

111
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 2: though as well Chris, is you guys are so sort

112
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 2: of welcoming and no matter what your fitness level is,

113
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 2: no matter whether you've done a trifle and before, you

114
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 2: are so welcoming. Everybody there encourages one another. And so

115
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 2: I think to anybody listening this morning, if you're kind

116
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 2: of going, oh, I'd like to try, but I'm just

117
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 2: not really sure whether I'm up to.

118
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,359
Speaker 1: It, you won't be embarrassed and no one's going to

119
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 1: make you feel bad about having a go.

120
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 3: No, that's right. And you know, I talk to a

121
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 3: lot of people who say, you know, I just wondered

122
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 3: I'm new here. I want to get involved in something

123
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 3: that I don't know what you know. The try cubs

124
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 3: are great things for both sides of it. You can

125
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 3: be a volunteer or a competitor. I'm always looking for

126
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 3: more volunteers and I'll tell you that now. Yeah, and

127
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 3: you know, we to get to support our volunteers come

128
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 3: in because it's a great way to meet people and

129
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 3: to be involved in the community. We've also got we

130
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 3: give away vouchers for Lame Way, app Rapp and Betta

131
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 3: because Lisa is also aware of how the value of volunteers.

132
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 3: But yes, good people want to get the club and

133
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 3: have a lot of fun and be active. Start and

134
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 3: try club Parkron. We're all interested in getting new people

135
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 3: to participate.

136
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 2: Well, it's all about getting active and it's mentally so

137
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 2: good for you as well. Right, Like there's no one

138
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 2: feels bad. I mean it depending on how hard you try,

139
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 2: but no one feels bad after a nice run, right.

140
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,039
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right, that's right. And tracking the swim and
