ONE MONTH TODAY TILL IRXC2010!!!!
Great to see 69 out of the 83 team members out at Southbrook Park in Rangiora today. There was some huffing and puffing today as we moved into some speed sessions and sprints of 50-200metres over a flat but fairly slippery course around the perimeter of the park. Lots of you looked good in your new jackets and shorts and I'm sure they made you even faster. We have some very quick runners around with the Moulai boys, Tom and Nick, both showing some super speed. Well done to the winning relay team of 2 x Moulai with Cameron Bartlett who smoked the competition.
Team members were busy in the weekend with the Canterbury Road Champs at Spencer Park on Saturday ( well done to our Canterbury Champs ) and then the NZ Duathlon Champs on Sunday at Halswell...well done to Cam Avery who backed up a Bronze at the Road Champs then did an individual Duathlon the next day with some very good running and also Rainer Pye who competed in both full events...Ari also ran the next day after winning her Canterbury Road title....Sabine Keenan took Bronze in the Year 8 girls and Jayden Beckett Silver and Callum Long Bronze in the Year 7 boys at the Duathlon.
Thanks to all club runners grade Grade 11+ who entered the NZ Road Champs on September 4 - should be a good blow out for you all. Everyone else should run in the "Fun Run" on the day....
Attached to this email are a list of team emails, if you need to contact another team member to ask for transport or if they want to run this weekend etc
