IRONKIDS #3

On Sunday the 11th of March was the third Iron Kids Triathlon.  It was a great day for a triathlon, sunny, no wind and warm.  There were 7 children from Haumoana School – Frances, Wesley, Noah, George, Will, Oscar and Katelyn. 

 

 It started off with a swim – four 25 metre lengths for the 8 – 10 year olds.  We started the swim at different times so it was hard to tell who was in the lead but all the Haumoana kids had a great swim.  Next we ran to our bikes in the Ocean Spa car park.  There was a clutter of bikes.  This is our first transition.  It is hard to find your bike.  People frantically putting their gear on; shoes, helmet, and shirt.  Then we start our 2km bike ride on the cycle path.  After biking up and back you are back at transition 2 – put your bike away and start the 1km run – up to the road and back.  Save a sprint for the end and hear all the people cheer your name.  Phew, finished. 

 

In the boys 8 – 10 year old race Wesley won in a time of 11 minutes 30 seconds.  Will came 3rd with a time of 12 minutes and 2 seconds.  Noah was 5th in a time of 12 minutes 33 seconds and George was 7th in a time of 13 minutes and 27 seconds.  Oscar was 17th – his time was 15 minutes and 8 seconds.  In the girls 8 – 10 year olds Frances came in 2nd in a time of 14 minutes and 30 seconds and Katelyn was 3rd in a time of 15 minutes 18 seconds. There were 76 children in the 8 – 10 year old group.

U14 surf life saving championships

It was the day I had been waiting for, I was in the sprint final for the U14 surf lifesaving championships. My family and I drove to the Mount the next morning. I was very nervous, when we got to the team tent I put my things down on the sand and walked off to the marshalling tent, I sat down and then the marshals told us what lane we were in “Wesley Akeripa will be in lane 4.

I walked to the arena and set up myself up flattening the sand out, “competitor’s ready, set bang the starter gun went I was off sprinting as hard as I could down the sand beach, I could hear my team cheering for me I sprinted harder and harder, I crossed the finish line whooo! I had victory, the marshals walked by and handed out the place numbers the lady came to me and held up number 1. When I walked out of the arena my mum gave a big hug “well done she said” that was a victorious weekend I said to myself.

Interschool Cricket

On Wednesday the 27^th of February Haumoana School had two

teams play in the interschool cricket competition.

There were a total of 12 teams from different school playing on

 6 pitches at Farndon Park, Clive.

It went for a number of hours and everyone was tired at the

Our school teams had a very good day as they both won all of

 their games.

 

 

Thank you parents for transporting us there and back.
