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. |

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.

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 :) |
