Hi Guys
We have a number of OWRs taking part in the Huntly Half this year: Read the rest of this entry »
THINGS Monday 14 May 2012
By Emerging Talent Chick | OWR | Monday 14th May 2012Hello all. I hope all of the Mums were well spoilt by their males yesterday. Breakfast in bed, lunch at a waterfront cafe and dinner somewhere nice? Henry’s little treat for me was to walk all over my freshly cleaned floors with his muddy yeti feet.

THINGS Monday 7th May 2012
By Emerging Talent Chick | OWR | Monday 7th May 2012Apologies to everyone who missed THINGS last week. I was hoping that Verna’s training blogs might distract people and you wouldn’t notice, but you did notice. I confess that I am a busy Lady of Leisure at the moment, cake decorating, cooking, entertaining, gardening, walking and creative writing.

Up to Day 17
By Tony and Verna | A Coaching Journey | Monday 7th May 2012Well, it has to be said – there is one little brave, if still “naive, unfit & oblivious” individual out there.
And there is one fool-hardy, completely obliviously oblivious and naive and even-more-unfit-this-week-than-last-week, individual out there. Read the rest of this entry »
Day 7, 8, 9, 10 & 11
By Tony and Verna | A Coaching Journey | Tuesday 1st May 2012Started updated the Journal last night; got 30 minutes into it then thought better of it. It did not read too positively.
I was not in the best frame of mind at that particular point in time and thought that perhaps it would be advisable, to myself, to take a word of caution, to myself, that it may be better to journal at a time when the frame of mind was not clouded by other exasperating factors.
So I begin again.
Journal 2 of the Epic Ironman Journal
By Tony and Verna | A Coaching Journey | Thursday 26th April 2012Well, what a stir that first journal entry caused!
The guesses and speculation has been unexpectedly bemusing. Which has made it entertaining as sometimes questions are more intriguing than answers.
Auckland half marathon entries closed
By Webby Dick Chick | OWR | Tuesday 24th April 2012Surprising news given the price hike, but entries for the adidas Auckland Half Marathon have closed and the Full Marathon is almost full.
Please pass on an urgent message to anyone you know who may wish to enter the marathon on 28 October 2012 that they should enter as soon as possible to secure a spot in the race. Read the rest of this entry »
An Epic Ironman Journey Begin
By Tony and Verna | A Coaching Journey | Tuesday 24th April 2012311 days. Divide that by weeks and months – that’s somewhere around 10 months.
Guess for most who have entered for next year’s Taupo event, that’s a comfortable timeline margin to get oneself back into form and set the goals and targets for the 2nd March 2013.
But… for two individuals that are somewhat related to this coaching household … they’re in for a 10 month period of just not knowing what they have got themselves into.
THINGS Monday 23 April 2012
By Emerging Talent Chick | OWR | Monday 23rd April 2012Hi Guys. Bit of a long winded blog today. You may want to arm yourself with a large vessel of caffeine.

Seems there is no shortage of wheels
By Tony and Verna | OWR | Friday 20th April 2012Thank you everyone – have had a wonderful response from generous OWRs re Tony and transport on Sunday.
So many that I have figured I would merely wander off to my course on the morning and leave Mr J in the capable hands of any which one of you that grabs him.
Can anyone help?
By Tony and Verna | OWR | Thursday 19th April 2012On Sunday Tony and myself will be down at Mission Bay well before the sparrow f_rts to enjoy the anticipation of those OWRs and others who will be competing in any one of the Panasonic Tri events which begin at 7 a.m. Go everyone!
Unfortunately I will have to slip away early as Tri NZ are running a specific coaching course which I have enlisted to attend and it begins at 9 a.m. finishing at 1 p.m. This means I have a logistical problem or few.
THINGS Tuesday 17th April 2012
By Emerging Talent Chick | OWR | Tuesday 17th April 2012I thought that after Easter, things for THINGS would taper off. Not so. People are still out there competing and completing and there is more to come. Enjoy this weeks THINGS.
