1. TRAINING AT ROTO KOHATU TONIGHT:
Wow, what a great training session tonight with 73 of the team there and many others as well - well over 100 in total. Well done to the Year 5 Girls and the Year 7 Girls who had 100% attendance! It was a tough session and you should be tired! Especially those who competed in the Canterbury Cross Country Championships on Saturday. Don't worry if you couldn't keep up with all your team mates, it is about YOU and how you are training and how much effort YOU put in. I know the Year 5 boys all put in a big effort, as I was making sure they were all training their best (from behind most of the time!). Training at this time should be tiring and tough, and you will grow in strength and endurance for that later part of your race later in the term.
Well done to our AWESOME EFFORT AWARD WINNERS:
Year 5 Boys: LOGAN ANDERSON
Year 5 Girls: LOUISE DALY
Year 6 Boys: BEN MARSHALL-LEE
Year 6 Girls: HARRIET BUSH
Year 7 Boys: TOM MOULAI
Year 7 Girls: DOMINIQUE HEATH
Year 8 Boys: "JOEY" DWYER
Year 8 Girls: MAIRI LAW
A special thanks to all parents who helped out and the CHRISTCHURCH AVON older Juniors who led the groups including World Schools' Cross Country Champion, Margot Gibson.

PHIL COSTLEY won his 103rd representative (Provincial and National) title when he easily won the Senior Race. We race for the PHIL COSTLEY Shield at Hanmer. Phil has confirmed he will be coming to the IRXC2010 at Hanmer and is even keen to come to the Canterbury Awards Dinner. (if he can get a ticket!......I actually put him on the list way before we were booked out thankfully!)
3. OTAGO INTEREST:
The Otago Primary Schools Sports Association sounds keen on the IRXC2010...hopefully they will send some runners and even some teams. They have their school champs on September 10th so will be in top form for 23 September.....
4. UNIFORMS:
If you need to change your singlet, I will bring them along next Tuesday to Woodend. All jacket and shorts orders have been sent through and hopefully the polo shirts will be ready soon...will let you know....
5. NEXT TEAM TRAINING RUN - Tuesday 3 August at Woodend Beach Domain:
Travel on the Northern Motorway and the Main North Road and turn right into Woodend Beach Rd (after Sandhills Road on your right) just before the Woodend Tavern, do not go into Woodend township. Travel right to the end of this road, past the Woodend Christian Camp on your left, to the road end. There is a car park at the Domain. We will do some hill work (hill springing) on the sand dunes and the beach as well as a run in the forest. Playgrounds available for the little ones and bring your thermos if you need coffee
Keep that training up this week and all the best to those running in the PTH U16 Road Relay on Saturday.
Cheers
Paul:)
