Our Tri Squad training is in full swing again. These last two weeks we have spent time doing swimming time trials and also a run time trial just to see where students were at with their fitness.
Sadly we've had a number of ailments affect our squad over the last few weeks so that's why it's taken us so long to get all our results in. Flu, tummy bugs and other nasty viruses have been floating around attacking our poor tamariki.
We've decided as a group that our biggest focus needs to be on swimming because most students are struggling with their swim fitness. We will be training twice a week in the pool and once a week on the spin bikes. Students are doing their own running training in their own time. I must admit I've been impressed with their run times.
I'll ask the students if they don't mind posting up their times - I think it would be good because then they can see their progress - and so can their whānau.
Nau mai - Welcome! We have created this blog to share our Journey to IronMāori 2015 (Aquathon & Triathlon). We are Year 7 and 8 students from Pt England School, Auckland, NZ. We have been selected to represent our whānau and school at this years Tamariki & Rangatahi IronMāori events held in December in Ahuriri (Napier) We look forward to sharing our progress with you all and hope it inspires you to strive and work hard to achieve some of your goals!
