We take to the water!

A huge congratulations to those of you that braved the rain and took part in Run Mahana on Saturday - an awesome achievement! I hope you enjoyed your bottle of wine after a nice relaxing soak in the bath on Saturday evening.

This Tuesday, we head to the beach for two weeks of sea swimming before breaking over the silly season. Meet at the Abel Tasman Statue carpark (off Rocks Rd). I am waiting to hear back from the tri club with exactly what to bring, in the interim, I suggest togs would be a good start, followed by a bright coloured swim cap (I do have spares if you need to borrow one), goggles if you have them, towel, bottle of water, and warm clothing to put on afterwards. If you do have a wetsuit then feel free to bring it.

See you there. 6.30pm.

Congratulations to you all!

Well done to all of you who did Run Mahana yesterday - a wonderful achievement. So ... what's next on the goal list?

Run Mahana

Good Luck to everyone doing Run Mahana tomorrow. Fingers crossed the weather forecast improves for you all!
