Whole School Duathlon and Triathlon

Well done everyone!
I was worried about the weather, but we had already put off the duathlon because of the heavy rain last week.

You are all such good sports.

I can't believe how tough you all are and how many of you swam in the school pool!
Thank you Mr. Pike for warming the pool up.

Brilliant supporting, great team-spirit and fantastic competition!  Definitely some good candidates for the GOLDEN SHOE. Make a nomination here CLICK

Senior Swimming Sports 2014

What great competition everyone!

Added together 169 people raced in our swimming sports.  

The results are in.  Click on the mini icon to see a full list of the results.

The top two from the 50m races get to go through to the zones.  Some children need to choose which races they would most like to enter for the zones.  I'm waiting to see if we can send some 8 year olds through to the zones too.  Some of you certainly deserve to go through based on your performances.

P.S.  Wasn't it great that Sophie Pascoe, our champion Olympic swimmer, stopped her training to wish you all good luck!

(Early lunch bell at 12.45pm)

Order of Events:

Duathlon Challenge - Swim and Run
On the day the course will be marked by chalk and cones as well as being marshalled by the HOUSE CAPTAINS.

Middle school - 2 loops of the pool + 2 laps of the running course

Senior School - 2 loops of the pool + 3 laps of the running course

Instructions For the Duathlon

Year 3 children put a towel and shoes out at the spectator area then go directly to the pool for your swim.  The run is done in bare feet. To keep things simple there is no shoe transition.  Year 2 children leave for the start area once the first year 3 children have come through the finish. Leave clothing , shoes and a towel in the spectator area.  Walk to the pool via the senior playground (not the middle school door).

Instructions For Triathletes

All bikes and clothing for your swim, bike, run transitions need to be in place before 12.30pm on triathlon day.  Leave space between your bikes.  Lay all bikes on the ground.  Walk or jog with your bike in the transition zone (no biking).  Return your bike to the same place when your bike laps are finished.  Be careful at the bike crossing points - runners slow down and watch out for bikers.  

PS. Have some extra clothing with you. You will have to wait about an hour for your race. If it is cold you don't want to be waiting in just your togs!
