Triathlon End of Season Festival

Hellooo

On the 2nd of October we had the End of Season Triathlon Festival which was really great.

Charly came in 3rd overall for the whole season and she also won a special prize for competing in 4 or more Triathlons. She won a lovely engraved glass trophy thing which she likes so that is good.

They had a quiz for the kids too which Charly, Johnny (half Australian/Austrian) and Sebastian came 2nd - they won Triathlon bike stands for the whole Triathlon Club which was great.

They had to march in with their team signs and flags and Charly and Addis were at the front. At the end of the do they had an interview for the local TV station with Charly, Addis, Lara and Alex so I am hoping to get a copy from them of it.

Triathlon Club Champs

Hey People

We had the Triathlon Club Champs the other weekend too ! Parents could take part if they wanted to and silly me decided to do it. Mike was away playing golf so it was just the girls all weekend !

First of all we went to the Aquarena and our teams were picked out of a hat and I had one girl who was 8 - Addis and another Antonia who was about 12 I think. We had to swim 300m between the 3 of us and so we all did 100m - nearly killed me ! I can swim freestyle but in a race it was a whole different ball game. Ended up in Physio on the Monday afterwards to get my back sorted out - ha ha ha !

Anyway our poor little team got last - oh well. Addis was such a sweety - "it's OK" she said. Antonia does not compete in the Triathlons and was just there for the day. We all had a laugh though. Charly's team were 10th after the swimming from 16 teams. Then we headed out to the sport field and had the running part of it - oh well ...

We had to run around the basketball hoops, then throw 3 balls into a bucket - any balls that missed resulted in a penalty round - guess who had to run round an extra 3 times ! Then 400m as fast as you could around the race track. We managed to overtake one team to come in 15th overall. Charly's team was 11th overall. A great day with cake and drinks and sausages for the kids afterwards. Beautiful weather as well.

Horn Park Climbing Day

Hellooooo

On Sunday (2 Oct) we went to the Horn Park Climbing area and had a great time. We spent the whole day climbing around in the trees like little monkeys - we will be making a film so wait for that !

Charly was really good and had it sussed no problems. She had to safety herself the whole time and we just checked it for her.

Some of the courses were for kids from 1.40m and she still managed it on her tippietoes !










This was the course that Mike and I did - unfortunately Mike killed his arms on the bucket part and I cheated so was able to complete the whole course and do the flying fox over the lake - no photos though as I had the camera in my pocket - bummer !!


Just a couple of scary photos of Mike and I for you to laugh at !

Out and About

Hey People

Just a few pikkies from the last few weeks - enjoy !

This was a visit with my girlfriend to Hintersteinersee - 11 September and still lovely and warm enough to swim !


The next one is a stand that Charly had in town for the Kitzbühel Friends of Kids - she was able to make €7 selling off old toys and stuff !!


Then she had a birthday party to go to and it was a Witch Party - pretty cool huh !


And of course you all know but Charly had the chance to hit the ball with John McEnroe - cool huh !




Just to keep you up to date.
