Female Athlete Health Symposium

3-4 September 2015, Avantidrome, Cambridge
REGISTER BEFORE 31 JULY 2015 FOR EARLY BIRD FEES
We all think sport and exercise is good for us, and the more the better. But there are some unique risks facing female athletes, particularly for those girls and women whose dietary intake does not cover their energy expenditure. The University of Waikato is bringing together experts in female health for a two-day symposium that solely focuses on the health and wellbeing in female athletes.

Results and Race Report from Akers Rd

Results and Race Report from Akers Rd

A fine Saturday afternoon saw 27 riders out at Akers Road.

Three grades raced on an (amazingly) dry circuit. Mitchell Kinghorn won A Grade from Nate Levin after the two of them broke away on the final lap. Kevin Laskey was too strong for B Grade, despite a good effort from the young boys high duo of Fergus Washington-Smith and Ethan Craine. Adam Francis also punched above his weight (as usual!) to finish 4th in this grade. C Grade saw two bunches form on the first lap, with Michael Richmond finishing strongly to win the grade from Jamie Dennis and Luke Scott.

Unfortunately, gravel left lying on the course after the recent flooding saw two crashes with both Alex West and Zoe Croton hitting the bitumen.
