PSC CC Team News 11.8.10

Hi everyone
Great to see 70 out of the 82 of the team at Barnett Park tonight with the Year 7 boys having a full turn out - well done boys and the Year 6 and 7 Girls and Year 5 and 6 Boys only having one missing. The track was great today and many of you are very fit as I can say it was the fastest we have ever made it up to the cave and with no big gaps either - well done to the heroes who did a second lap: Ari and Ella Harris for the girls, Zander and Callum Haughin and lots of the Year 8 boys - well done guys! Sophie discovered a very quick way down the hill - on her bottom and we didn't see a "hobo" in the cave but a few people tried out his shower!

1. Freddo Frog winners today were: (from memory - please let me know mistakes)
Year 5 Girls: Mya and Eden
Year 5 Boys: Iain and Mitchell
Year 6 Girls: Liberty and Zoe (great to meet Liberty today, all the way from Hinds!)
Year 6 Boys: Nick and Harrison
Year 7 Girls: Laura and Saskia
Year 7 Boys: Jayden and Jaiden-Lee
Year 8 Girls: Beanie (Sabine) and Libby
Year 8 Boys: - hadn't come back by the time I left - hopefully they still aren't out there!

2. (Non Compulsory) THIS SATURDAY 14 August - CHA 1km CHALLENGE meet 1.45pm for a 2.30pm time trial start at Bottle Lake Forest, Waitakiri Drive - go to the blue CHA ezi-up: EVERYONE WELCOME! To help with recording, if possible, sign up here by Friday: CHA 1km CHALLENGE
Your chance to win a Gold, Silver or Bronze Award depending on what time you can do for a 1km time trial on the road at Bottle Lake Forest - depends on your age on the day. Run 500m out and then 500m back. The standards are Internationally based and last year we had some super performances and many gold certificates handed out. Anyone is able to run, all ages and non club members welcome. For those not wanting to run a 1km, there is the forest tracks for a good training run too.

3. Training Requirements:
Just a reminder that to be part of the team you HAVE TO ATTEND 7 out of the 10 named training sessions/ races. A few of you have missed 2 out of the four so far, so please make sure you get to the rest. Last year we had to remove a runner from the team for not attending the required amount. A reminder it is a privilege to run for your province and our team is BY FAR the hardest Canterbury Representative team to make. All of you were given the training dates on either 16 or 30 June before you agreed to be team members. A big thanks to all of you who travel big distances and rearrange other commitments to get to training.

4. PORT HILLS UNDER 17 XC Results:
For those of you who ran on Saturday, click this link to get to the results: PORT HILLS RESULTS then click on 2010 results

5. NEXT TRAINING RUN: 4.30pm - 5.15pm Thursday 19 August @ Halswell Quarry
We will do some hill work and reps but we will not go too hard for those who have the Canterbury Road Championships on Saturday 21 August.

See you Saturday or next Thursday.
Cheers
Paul:)
