Vicky's Voice Looks like we missed a glorious weekend in Hamilton and Kinloch! Looks like a great morning was had on the trails in Kinloch and well done to everyone who took part!! We were spending some time up in Millwater enjoying the parkrun there and the finale in the Run Auckland Series. The Run Auckland Series is a great little series to keep you honest during the winter months (and probably like the road version of Xterra!). Anyway Stu and I signed up to the early bird for $140 that is only available this week. That's 6 events for $23 each. Link below if you are interested.
After I crossed the line and went to collect my bag I heard an emergency call for a medic at the finish...I didn't think anything of it but turns out it was Annette who had fainted but she managed to crawl across the finish line and have one of the timers stop her watch! I thought Gary and Haydn were the ones to watch out for but turns out Annette wanted in on the action...must have been because she had me in her sights!
We’ve signed the club up to support The Big Morning Run, as part of mental health awareness week. It’s a chance to start the day off right with a morning run. Meet Stu and me at the car park of the Hakarimatas at 5am if you’re keen.
Don't forget this is your last week to get in on our Memorial Day relay and lunch. This is a great event and the lunch at Roaming Giant promises to be awesome. See details further on in the newsletter. Andrew will be coming round with the clipboard on Thursday to sign you up.
This weekend sees the epic Race Tekapo event happening which sees a few of our club members attending! Good luck to everyone taking part and can't wait to see the photos. I move up a parkrun age grade this weekend so will be running half of the Timber Trail track to correlate the number of kms with number of years. You might also see me at the Lake parkrun on Saturday clinging onto the back of Darren Little as he drags me round for a PB....MAYBE!
Anyway see some of you on Thursday...might be time for a bit of Fowler's Ave. Will see who is around!
