Congratulations to our middle child for completing the Weetbix Tryathlon although still not feeling 100% after contracting a bug from our trip to Samoa (perhaps Savaii we suspect?) especially since our eldest (and most competitive) was unable to attend as she's now struck down by that same bug, in fact we all were to some varying degree (except for our little runner - the youngest).The Tryathlon track consisted of:
- Swim of 100 metres which she likes
- Cycle of 4 kilometres which she enjoys
- Run (or walk) 1.5 kilometres which she completed
And at the end of the race she received a medal, an apple and a frozen smoothie (on a stick) with a free weetbix breakfast, complimentary lunch from the school and lots and lots of encourage, high fives and a general sense of achievement.
So happy for her and the many students who competed with their neat Tshirts. In fact, this year, the tournament registrations were closed earlier as it was over subscribed and so glad that both schools were able to put in their registrations early.
Many thanks to the crew of volunteers and corporate sponsors who made this happen. I can only see it growing and growing and needing more venues to operate throughout the year as it is beginning to really pick up in popularity but also in a sense of community both for the school and those who compete.
A high recommended activity for all the family, especially to those who compete but also for those who wish they could but can't anymore (ha ha)...
