VLK Duathlon Report

Sunday 25th May 2008 – who would have thought that on waking the clouds are grey and the rain is constant.  That did not stop those keen Peak Multi Sport Club members to turn out, thermals and rain coats layered and wondering "What am I doing here".   It was a great turn out for the Hawkes Bay Multi Sport Club considering the conditions.

The keen team of Susan, Todd, Andy Barham,  Andy Curran, Andy Horne, Karen, Charissa, Mike Leary, Mike Ward – were legends in just conquering the conditions.  The technique and transistion classes on a Tuesday evening run by Jeanette Cooper have paid off – Susan making those transitions look easy. 

From here – the swimming and running training will continue and then a couple of weeks out from the next VLK – Very Low Key – Duathlon we will launch some more transition trainings.  There are events for you all – if you have not come to any yet and were put of by the rain – do not worry – any time is a great time to start – catch Mark at one of the swimming sessions or for cycling tap into the RPM classes if you do not want to venture outside.  The idea of our multi sport club is to give us all a non-threatening way to train for and get involved in different Multi Sport events – any Peak member is welcome.  What a great way to stay motivated as the days get shorter and the weather colder.  We all agreed that today we all would have sat by the fire – but by meeting a few people at the event we all achieved something – and that was getting there.
