Wow, how would you do this?<br />
Take around 1000 athletes,<br />
probably 2000 support crew,<br />
hundreds of officials, set a course<br />
across the South Island, set up all<br />
the check points, arrange the traffic<br />
management including police road<br />
closures etc, etc, etc, etc.<br />
That would be out of my league to<br />
start with, but then picture the potential<br />
chaos when half way through the race the<br />
heavens open, the river looks as if it will<br />

volunteer officials, the competitors<br />
and their support crews for organising,<br />
reorganising and competing in this year’s<br />
Speight’s Coast to Coast.<br />
The joy of multisport to me (a very<br />
part time warrior) is that people are<br />
enthusiastic and competitive but also<br />
inclusive and supportive. When I did my<br />
first Coast to Coast teams event plenty<br />
of people ran and cycled past me giving<br />
positive words of encouragement. For<br />
an undertrained, over extended 40 year<br />
old this was hugely uplifting. It added<br />
to the stunning scenery to increase the<br />
feeling of massive achievement from just<br />
competing in the race, let alone actually<br />
finishing.<br />
If you have not had a go at this<br />
great sport then pluck up your<br />
courage and kick start your motivation<br />
and have a go. You will never<br />
regret it.<br />
Have a great remainder of the summer<br />
and early autumn. Do get out and enjoy<br />
this settled change of season, warm<br />
days, cool nights; my favourite part of the<br />
year.<br />
Cheers Peter Townend<br />
