Get2Go 2014

hey WARTS,
well another year of adventure racing is done and dusted with the Get2Go grand final finishing off the year. Our junior team went over to the barrier for six days of racing. doing well in the first three days of activities placing 4th with no point difference. However, we were are unable to stay in that position after the expedition finishing in 7th. Everyone had a great week away. Fingers crossed we can get back there next year and give it another shot.

A big thank you to all the parents for the support for the kids and myself, especially Bruce, Frances and Steve.

Keep your fitness up and see ya in 2015

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
