Stroke and Stride Race #1

The first race is over, 500m ocean swim with waterstart and a 5km run on a beautyfull spring afternoon, I finished as 28th of my age group with just over 33 1/2 mins,

in order to get into the top 15 of my age group and collect some championship points ...

I will have to improve this time by approx. 3 minutes, so let the training begin...and forget that fear of sharks...although they are out there ...

Kids in the garden...

Sports Sports Sports!!!

After succesfully completing the Auckland 1/2 Marathon, and taking it relatively easy finishing in 1:52 compared to the 1:45 from last year,

keeping in mind that the only time we run more then 10K is on the day of the marathon itself!!!

But new challenges are waiting just around the corner... with the opening race for the Stroke & Stride just 2 weeks away it is definetly time for some practice swims at our local Mission Bay beach,



so I am hoping for a sunny weekend to open the swimming season and I will keep you posted on the results from our first race....
