Today Shane participated in the Surf to City 12km bike race
from Oreti Beach to Queens Park.
It was his first time entering and he has been really
looking forward to it. He had a great
time, and really can’t wait to do it again next year.
By the time he got to the finish line, he was exhausted and
starving! It took a while to find Mum and Dad but when we finally all got
together Mum had packed a huge lunch for everyone. Shane also enjoyed the free
sausage sizzle (I think he had 3!) and we spent some time hanging out at the
park. Then it was time for the Kids in the City fun run, which Faith had
entered, so Shane decided to jump in and run it with her so she wouldn’t get
lost along the way. (Dad was really stoked about this. He was quietly freaking
out about his little girl running off on her own, but with Mum’s hip playing up
she couldn’t do it this year L)
Who knows where he got the energy from but Shane ran the 2km
course with Faith. After that was the prizegiving, and then the boys biked
home!
Noone can say they’re unfit!
Well done Shane, we are proud of you for stepping out and doing
something new today, and we look forward to the next one.
