50 kids from 5 different Manawatu Schools took part in the Prize giving carnival at the Feilding Velodrome. Where some of the kids are very familiar with the track for some it was the first time ever at Johnston Park. The carnival started at 9.00 am with a one lap standing start followed by team pursuits, missing out races and scratch races. Good entertainment for the big crowd that came along to support the kids and to celebrate their achievements.
Firstly congrats to all who rode their chosen distance @ Taupo, and achieved their personal targets, the weather gods certainly shone down again this year.
I arrived @ Taupo with a day up my sleeve so I could mix my Hammer foods, freeze some and generally fine tune my hopeful lap splits- planning is about as important as the training etc, especially when riding unsupported. My only disappointment was when I read the Taupo Newspaper to hear of a rider doing the Extreme with a support crew of 18,- 3 – to ride with him each lap. Suffice to say I had a wee discussion with this *ironman* at the registration. What eventuated I’m not sure…
