Woo hoo the Icebreaker prize gear has arrived. Man I love getting pressies, pity they're not for me, although it is verrrry tempting to snaffle a pair of Icebreaker socks... So we've got a beaut Icebreaker SS Quest Crewe for the winners of men's and women's open category and an Everyday LS Baselayer top for the winners of the teams division. I'm still working out what I can give to the winners of the mens and womens vet category, maybe some wine? Vets always love vino! There are quite a few spot prizes, they're really good too, and I've been tossing up how to give them out. From experience there are a few different ways, people who's number is called choose what they want from a table, or prizes get flung into the crowd or a board sits there with winner's names on it. I realise a lot of people leave as soon as they finish, but I'm hoping most of you can stick around for at least a sausage and potentially a spot prize. I'll try get through the prizes as fast as I can, but we'll have to wait until the final racer crosses the line. Basically I want to encourage a good community feel without wasting anyone's time. And, if you want a prize, you'll have to stick around!

...everywhere I look around. Yep after a very warm sunny weekend, and some decent breezes there is a stack load of pollen around these parts. Being a pine plantation, Bottle Lake Forest Park produces massive yellow clouds of pollen, it covers everything, like the car bonnet in the picture here. If it's a little damp on race day, pollen shouldn't be a problem but if it's dry it'll be floating around and if you're an asthmatic PLEASE BRING YOUR INHALER. OK, that's all I'll say about that. The start/finish banner is being printing today, which I'm looking forward to getting my hands on. Feels like it's all official when you've got the start/finish line sorted. Entries are coming in thick and fast too, so if you're still deciding, make haste! Don't miss out. If you want your name or your team's name printed on your race bib all proper like, then you'll need to get your entry in by the end of today. I'm sending all the entries currently received to the printers tomorrow, so they'll be ready by Wednesday to take to R&R Sport for pick up on Thursday/Friday. If you don't get your entry in by end of today, then we'll leave a little space below your number on the bib and you can write it on should you wish. Please don't cover the number though. Online entries will be taken up until Thursday, but you will need payment made before 5pm so it shows up in our account on the Friday, or you entry won't be confirmed. Failing all else, you can register on the day, bear in mind the cost increases by $10 for both individuals and teams. If that's confusing, just flick us an email and we'll sort you out: info@quickieevents.com So I'm having The Icebreaker Quickie in the Forest race bibs made up right, and I need to make sure I have entrant's names to the printers in enough time so they can print them off before the race. This will mean with the two days prior to the event where race packs (including race bibs) will be available for pick up from R&R Sport, and the necessary couple days to print the bibs, if you want your name on your bib you'll need to have your entry in by Monday the 27th at the very latest. If you've already entered then good on you! and if you know of someone considering entering or definitely will, but leaving it til the last minute, do encourage them to get on to it now. It's not a huge issue, but I'd like to have as many competitors hooning around with their own personalised number, it just adds to the experience. Entries are coming along nicely, but there's still room for more, so spread the word and let's make this a kick ass event! |
