Last minute change to training

Hey Guys,


So sorry to be making this last minute change but I have come down with a bug and am unable to participate in the training this weekend.

This will not affect the days events, you will just not be able to stay over at night as I am not able to take care of you.

I will text you my address tonight, please meet Bruce and Shaun at my place at 10 am sharp.

The day will finish at 5pm, you will need to be picked up from my place.

This means that you can disregard the food aspect of the plan. You will just need to ensure you have enough food, snacks and gear to last the day. Obviously disregard the overnight equiptment.

We will make a plan for Sunday at end of day tomorrow.

If anyone needs a ride, Bruce will be coming and with spare seats so contact Jaden.

Once again I appologise for any incovienance,

Liv

Team for Get2Go

Hi Guys,
As we have discussed from the beginning of Junior Adventure Racing we can only take eight people to Great Barrier Island, and based on what I feel are important skills to have for this particular event I have had to make a very tough decision, espically in regards to the large number of ver capable and commitent girls that we have had.

I am more than happy to discuss my reasons for making this decision, however you know the skills required to succeed at this particular event. I hope that all of you will continue to adventure race, and continue to train once we get back from Get2Go as we prepare for the New Zealand Secondary School Adventure Racing Champs in March.

There are ten names listed below and these people will continue to train on Tuesday Mornings, Tuesday After School (Nav training), and Wednesday After school. Well done to the following people:

Macey
Geneva
Madi
Courtney
Nicole
Connor M
Mika
Jayden
Wilson
Connor H

Trainings

Hey Team,
Well done to everyone who gave the run ago this morning. Heard it was a long one, but good to see where peoples fitness is as we get further through the training programme.

We decided that we will not have a training on Labour weekend, which means that we will be doing the ocean beach training on Saturday the 18th of October, which means you can have the choice to attend the orienteering on Sunday. As I said earlier, Steve Hill is running this training, and is offering rides out to ocean beach. If you are wanting to get a ride, you need to meet at WGHS gym at 7.30am.

Trainings for this term:
Tuesday morning fitness training. Meet at WGHS gym at 6.30am.
Wednesday after school training. Meet at WGHS gym at 3.40pm.

Contact me if you have any questions.

Training Changes

Hi WARTS,
Sorry to have taken so long to post. Thankyou for the messages and well wishes. Yes, I have a wee little girl 6 pounds 13 ounces on Friday morning and we are both doing very well. No name at present, but I feel we will be getting one soon.

I have decided that it would not be a good idea for me to come to training tomorrow as my wee dot is not yet a week old. However I have arrange for other experiences for you. Malika Davis (outdoor ed teacher) will be taking you for rock climbing and rope skills from 9.30-11.30, you will then have some food and drink, then you will be doing a navigation activity at Mair Park. This will see you returning to school around 1.30.

Please make sure you bring all your gear in a pack that you can run with as you will not be able to leave it at school.

Saturday is all still going ahead, and I hope to see you all there for a run around.

There has been a realisation that on the 19th of October we have a orienteering event at Lovells Farm, however I had pencilled that date in for the ocean beach training. Could you let me know on Saturday if we changed the date to the 25th of October would people still be able to make that?

Enjoy tomorrow.
