WHAT A DAY!!

2009-06-16T17:14:00.000-07:00

Our First Annual
Reach the Beach Triathlon What a blast!!

T-Minus 20 hours till start

2009-06-14T17:36:00.000-07:00

Here’s the t-minus 20 hour countdown update....

1) Race Bibs
Everyone doing the RUN leg of Reach the Beach will need to have a race bib pinned to their shirt. Please make sure you get your race bib from me--individual racers can pin it to the shirt they will run (and perhaps bike in), team runners can get it pinned on well ahead of your biker coming in to the transition area at Terra Nova. I will give you your race bib and safety pins when you see me on Monday morning. All swimmers and bikers will have the bib number written on your arm and calf prior to the start of the race at Watermania.

2) Food
It would be a good idea to have a snack handy during or immediately following your exam. Your exam should be over by 11/11:30am and we will be transporting to Watermania at 12:30pm which doesn’t give much time. It would be good to have some food (energy) in your stomach prior to start and not too close to the start.

3) Route
Make sure you’ve looked over the route and you know where to go. If you are running in to the finish you should not stop until you reach the beach (duh)...you will see the RCS tent— THAT is the finish line. Oh yeah, and don’t forget to bring your bike in top condition and your helmet.

4) Forms
I still need permission forms from Amanda, & Phil (way to LEAD the way in tardiness!! lol). Those need to be in my hand tomorrow morning or you can’t race and your team will not be smiley happy people.

5) Fun
Let’s enjoy ourselves, be safe, and have fun. It looks like the weather is going to be fantastic!! This is a great stress reliever, and the exercise will help you do better on your exams! honest!

Mr. H

down to the wire

2009-06-09T18:04:00.000-07:00

Permission forms are due by Thursday June 9.

Late forms won't be accepted, so GET 'EM IN!
We still have a few groups without a timer, we need that NOW!

Review all your forms with your parents, make sure you know where to be at what time, and you know your route.
Riders cannot ride with their runner along the dyke. You will be transported to the finish area (hopefully) ahead of your runner. Bikes will be transported on school trailer.

Next Meeting & this & that

2009-06-06T10:46:00.000-07:00

Our next meeting is Tuesday June 9 at 1:00 in room 115.
Please see below (last post) on what is needed for that meeting.

It would be very helpful if you could ask your parents to help out with this event. We have lots of different support roles and the more help we have the smoother it will go. Please have them get in touch with Mr. Harbridge at the school or via email.

Update

2009-06-03T03:44:00.000-07:00

Every individual participant, and every team, must have a dedicated timer. This person will be responsible to keep ACCURATE time of your progress at each stage of the race. They will be transported to each key transition area in order to record your time for that stage.

Name of your timer must be given to Mr. Harbridge by Tuesday June 9.

We will be having another meeting on Tuesday June 9 to go over additional details.

Get your bike in top working condition and make sure you have a helmet.

If your parent(s) are able to help out, please let Mr. Harbridge know ASAP!

Parent Permission forms will be available very soon. All students participating must have a completed permission form turned in by June 11- NO EXCEPTIONS!

Run

* Water station on dyke
* Transporting bikes from Terra Nova to Garry Point Park
* Taking pictures and cheering at key junctions
