Beauties and the Beast Team

Marton to Wanganui 2017 Relay, Saturday Sept 9th

Beauties and the Beasts Team

This year the relay was a very wet affair with all legs getting their fair share of the big wet.

Participants;

Rachelle, We all think she likes walking in the wet ...Not

Ross, 2 Legs. He does his best

Karen, Consistent as ever

Trevor, 2 Legs. Surprised us all, well done

Sue, Another consistent member and bakes a great cake

Sharon, Took the heavy rain but kept smiling

Cath, She might become a walker yet. Top effort

Jocelyn, Brought it home at end. Cool

Sadly, Nicole hit the road surface and could not compete but was still an important team member.

Yet again Striders were very well represented at the prize giving. Thank you to the main committee for the contribution to the costs. We were all happy to be the fourth team home.

 

 

Marton to Wanganui Relay - Al's Mob

Al's Mob enjoyed a sodden day for their 15th time in the Marton-Wanganui relay, however it is the first time that we have encountered such bad weather.    We had a good day out starting off in third place where we remained until leg 9 where Denises gutsy effort put us in 2nd place where we remained.    We were the meat ina Taranaki Race Walking sandwich with only 4 minutes separating the first three teams - great to have some competition all the way.      Everyone in our team put in maximum effort under not so good conditions and we all very much enjoyed our dry clothes and a couple of drinks at Wanganui East Club at the finish.    Striders got a fair share of the spot prizes in a well organized and enjoyable event.      Well done Beauties and the Beasts too - hopefully we'll all be back next year with better weather!!!

 

Striders Gazelles

The Striders Gazelles travelled to Halcombe on a balmy Palmy day to partake in this year’s Halcombe Relay. Our composite team had four walkers (Rachelle Cocker, Sharon Wright, Paul Jurgeleit and Nicole Patterson) and two runners (Lee Anne Hannan and Cath Staines). We weren’t there to break any records, but had a great day out with lots of laughs along the way! The whole team did well with Lee Anne deserving special mention since her actual time was significantly better than estimated – well done Lee Anne! The day was rounded off with the prize giving and another great afternoon tea before all returned home.
