Sports full on.....

Stroke & Stride:

Spring time in NZ means start of the outdoor sports season....Stroke & Stride Races #1 and 2 are already history, rough conditions both in the water and outside made them quite challenging,

I managed to win my first age point. After finishing 16th in race 1 I made it into the top 15 last week.


















Harbour Crossing:

Then this weekend it was Harbour Crossing Day.

As it all started at 7am on the other side of Auckland harbour this meant getting up at 4am to catch an early ferry, find the time to stock on bananas and muesli in order to be ready for the 2.8km swim across the harbour.




Together with nearly 1000 swimmers I made it through in 59 mins coming in with the first 300 competitors.
