The riders set off on a cool spring Manawatu day, the pessimists amongst them adorned with raincoats. Typically, it was flat to the boards all the way to Ashhurt (Actually it’s Ashhurst, but in this case you might be right – Ed) with some short-lived breaks quickly enveloped by a frisky peloton. The better riders looked towards the two climbs on Colyton Rd to sort the bunch out a bit.
Craig Lawn and Steve Stannard were the first over the Watershed climb, but the bunch, with Jesse Sergent toying with the bunch at the front soon caught them on the fast downhill. Craig Lawn immediately launched another attack and, assured that a lone rider could not stay away, the now smaller bunch seemed disinclined to care. All the way to Cheltenham, Lawn dangled out in front whilst the riders that tried to bridge were quickly chased down.
Hi,
How does your level of participation in sport impact on your happiness?
There is a plethora of research identifying the physical benefits of participating in sport but minimal research has focused on the impact of sport on psychological well-being.
Doctors tell us that 30 minutes of vigorous exercise three times a week helps our heart but what does it do for our happiness?
Are people who do not participate at all happy or perhaps the happiest?
However little or big your participation is in sport you can help us answer these very important questions by clicking on the link below and completing a 5 minute survey http://www.deakin.edu.au/psychology/research/sport/
This study aims to gain deeper insight into the relationship between different levels of sports participation and well-being and we could not have done it without you!Your time, effort and contribution to this research is very much appreciated.
Sincere gratitude,
