Just a quick question - what's a good thing to wear? Sports bra under swimsuit?? How do you wear your number if you put your top on after the swim? Help. - Niki

Hi Niki, To see what's a good thing to wear, have a look at our Frequently Asked Questions page on the website. You only need to wear your event number on the top you will be wearing on the run, so it is fine to put this on after your swim.

Training partners wanted: I am looking for training partners, particularly for running and cycling. I'm just starting out in triathlon. I can jog for about 30 minutes (but slowly!) and can cycle for about 1 hour (again not very fast and only on the flat). I live in Riccarton, so prefer to train in the central or western parts of the city as I don't have a car. Please get in touch if you might like to train with me.

Training partner wanted: Hi, I'm keen to find a training partner to go running with very early in the mornings (training for Auckland marathon - Nov 2nd) but will do tris as well. I am recovering from achilles tendonitis and broken rib, so base fitness OK but a bit rusty from being out of action over last 6 weeks... I live in St Albans (Geraldine St) work full time so training is before work and after work and weekends. If you are keen give us a yell (Age 42 yrs was running 60 - 90 mins 3-4x week and gym work before injuries), but will need to work up to it again, {and lose the 6kg's!!!) Into Profitness gym, Centennial is closest pool and I have a road bike. I am happy to cross train on my off running days. Would like to do hills & off road running in weekends. Love to hear from you, I need the motivation to make it a reality now!!
Cheers Dee

For Sale: I'm selling a Specialized Sirrus women's triathlon bike.
Its a 2006 model in perfect order and was won at a MacAndrew Bay event in Dunedin as a spot prize from Browns Avanti. It has only been ridden three times. Due to this bike being specialised (pardon the pun) for the road, my better half does not get enough use out of it, but for road commuting, triathlons or duathlons it is perfect. It is currently retailing at $899 and I'm selling it for $500 or a swap for a mountain bike of equal value with front suspension for recreation.
If you're interested give Steve a buzz on 021 035 9260

Hi Everyone,
My Friend and I are looking at starting a group for ladies wanting to either bike ride or jog/run who live in the Rolleston, Lincoln, Prebbleton or surrounding areas. Thought it would be a great opportunity for networking and just getting out the door as its easier to train with others!!! We thought we could make use of the roads etc and areas over the south side of town.
Just email Amanda Bertie at aaron.amanda@xtra.co.nz if you are keen.

Looking for a cycling buddy. I'm currently living in North West Christchurch. I'm looking for a cycling buddy as I'm starting to get bored by myself. Riding mostly in the weekends, average speed between 25-28kph, variable distances. Am up for a challenge so let me know if you're nearby.

Giant OCR road bike for sale. I have a Giant OCR road bike for sale, which I used when I first started out in triathlons 18 months ago. It's a great starter road bike and since I have just upgraded (thanks to a birthday present from hubby), I now have this bike for sale. It is in excellent condition and a good step up from belting out these tris on your mountain bike.

Training partners wanted. Hi, I have just entered the tri-walk, (all three events), and I am looking for training partners. I am very unfit, over fifty years old, I do not mind meeting anyone of any age-group for biking, walking or swimming. I live in Brookhaven so Aquagym, Oxford Tce Pool (Centennial), QE2 are better. My biggest hurdle seems to be my own doorstep at the moment. Any support would be most welcome. I work Monday to Friday and do not finish in the city till 5.30pm.

Hybrid Mountain bike for sale. I purchased this bike late last year for $575 so I could take part in the Triathlon buzz. I have really enjoyed Triathlon so much that I have now upgraded and bought a road bike.
The bike is a Bauer Hybrid, i.e. it has bigger wheels than a mountain bike to make riding easier, suspension in the forks and seat, but a lot cheaper than a road bike. Great option for getting started without having to spend thousands on a road bike!
The bike has been lovingly looked after and I am happy to include a spare pair of slick tyres with it too. The bike would suit someone around 5'5" and taller.
As it is still virtually new I am looking for offers around $400.
Email Michaela at michaela@securityone.co.nz or phone 021 441 544 if you have any questions.

One of the girls I know from triathlons has started a NZ Tri Chicks listing on a website where you can log your training workouts. The website can also generate your training programs and you can chat to other kiwi chicks who are into triathlons as well. You can also list your event results on the site. Its a great way to keep your training logged in one place which you can access from anywhere. A great motivating tool as well, you can see how many miles everyone else is doing and you will want to keep up. The web link is http://nz.ontri.com/ - maybe I will see some of you there! Cheers, Nades :)
