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
