Hi All
With the race season in full swing we really have a busy couple of months ahead. There are club events, world championship qualifiers, Ironman New Zealand, Tremains Triathlon and Napier Port Harbour to Hills to finish of the season.
We have been fortunate enough to have great weather for all our events so far (probably jinxed it now) and that is certainly one of the fantastic things that Hawke's Bay has to offer
After spending years training in terrible weather conditions in the North of Scotland, wind, rain and snow. Cycling the 10miles each way to work in -15 degrees on skinny tyres was always a favourite.
I find myself chuckling when I hear people saying they didn't go out training because its raining, looked like rain, too windy, too hot. What we should be saying is what an amazing place we live and we have so many different places that we can get out and enjoy whatever the weather.
As Billy Connolly said "There is no such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothes"
