Weet-Bix Kids TRYathlon - INTERESTED??

Lisa Hodson and I have been talking about providing the opportunity for Amesbury School students to be involved in the Weet-Bix TRYathlon series.

The purpose of this POST is to signal to you our thoughts and to pass on the small amount of information that we have so that parents and students can start thinking about whether to be involved.

1. The event is open to students aged 7yrs and over.
2. Individuals can complete the whole event or teams of two or three can complete the event between them.
3. Training for the TRYathlon generally begins in November. We will organise some opportunities to train at school, but students will also need to train at home.
4. We are thinking about entering the Wellington TRYathlon but also travelling away to another one of the TRYathlon events e.g. Nelson, Hastings, Palmerston North etc. We think that having done all that training, it would a shame to only take part in one event.
5. The Wellington TRYathlon is Sunday, 17 February. The Nelson one is 10 March and Palmerston North 27th March.

A question: does anyone have any suggestions about a safe place where the children could do cycling training (ie off road)? A big carpark for example? This could take place outside of work hours when the space is unused.

That's all for now. Please let us know if you have any thoughts about this. Otherwise, we will be in touch again when a bit more information has come to hand.

Kind regards

Liza and Lesley
