Olympic Medallist Barry Magee visits Theta

What better way to inspire staff to part with their lunch money than to invite an Olympic legend to visit the Theta office. It was a real honour for us to play host to Barry Magee and his numerous medals and trophies. He accepted our invitation and gave his time freely so that we could use the occasion to raise more funds for Cure Kids. His “Zero to Hero” talk was inspirational and much appreciated by the Theta crowd.

2014 - The Race Day Report

Start location for our third CureKids Great Adventure Race was Tapapakanga regional park on the Firth of Thames. The start location is only known 3 day before the race and the course itself released half an hour before the race as a series of grid references. This is the most stressful part of the race, plotting the course accurately onto a map before the start gun goes.

Counting down to race day – late March Cure Kids fundraising & training

Every week Alan Moore sets up a course involving some sort of run and/or bike often with a river crash, so we learn to get through anything thrown our way in this year’s Cure Kids adventure race. On Friday 4 April 2014, we will be running and mountain biking in a race with a dose or orienteering thrown in. So we do have to get some training in, and yes, the map reading it does test our old eyes and brains as well, but now most of all, we are all full-on completing the fundraising part for ‘the kids’. Dave Mason, trained with us last year, and has taken on the task of facilitating the internal auction bids and encouraging some adventurous fundraising action.

Training afternoon - Open to anyone

It was with a little trepidation over my ability to keep up with the super fit adventure racers that I agreed to participate on a training afternoon. I have previously watched first hand with awe and wonder the physical abuse the team put their bodies through on race day. The level of endurance is incredible so my angst was somewhat justified. Regardless I convinced myself that the hours in the gym would help to get me through and off to the wild West Coast I went.
