New Year Goals

10th February 2021 by Di

Thinking of New Year Goals?

Tentatively 25th September 2021 is the Blue Lake Challenge https://www.bluelake24hr.com. As many 5.5km laps as you want to do in 24hours, so something for everyone (some people only run one lap). Al is really keen for the club to go to this event, so Al’s challenge to you is (a) put this in your diary, and (b) set yourself a personal goal for this event (be it 5.5km or 160km). You don’t have to tell anyone your distance, it doesn’t cost anything to enter, and it will be great fun supporting each other. Let Al know if you are interested and we will try to secure a spot to put up a club gazebo as our aid station for each lap. Rotorua has lots of other things to do to make it a fun weekend for everyone.

Kai Iwi Triathlon, March 20th… https://www.sportnorthlandevents.co.nz/copy-of-kaitaia-run-walk One of Striders‘ favourite events for all abilities. We’ll set up a ‘base camp’ at Kai Iwi for the Saturday event where people can base from before and after the event. We’ll look to have a shared lunch once the last Striders member is in so if that sounds like a bit of you then bring a plate.

There’s a lot of training going on at the moment with these events in mind so if anyone wants to jump in, there’s regular swimming, cycling and running, and combinations of all, going on most days. Just get hold of me (Bill Miles 021 952 406) if you want to join in.
