Valentines Scorcher - the 'Couples Challenge'
posted: 27 January 2010 Ahhh yes, Valentines Day. Chocolates, roses and candlelit dinners. Cupid's favourite day of the year, which also happens to be the day for our very next Scorcher (in support of the Heart Foundation). Sunday 14th February.
Which got us thinking...we thought why should Cupid have all the fun? So to make the most of the next Scorcher falling on Valentines Day....we've created the Scorcher 'Couples Challenge'. If you are the sort of couple that love all that mooshy lovey dovey stuff, well this might not be for you... If instead you're the kind of couple that prefer kicking each other's butt, then this will be for you.
The rules are simple:
1. You need to be a 'couple'
2. You need to click the special category 'Couples Challenge' when entering
3. The Couple's Challenge will only be held over the Medium course (triathlon or duathlon)
4. At the end of the event, both of your times will be added together to get your overall time & thus placing against the other sporty couples
And for the Singles? Well heck, we understand we can't let the couples have all the fun. Nothing worse than having to hang out with 'smug happy couples'. We understand.
Therefore in Transition we will be having 4 bike racks. Short, Medium, Long &.... Single. A simple concept really. If you are single, over twenty, good humoured, and don't take yourself too seriously.... then you are more than welcome to rack your bike on this rack! you never know who'll you'll meet! Remember, its not compulsory.....no one is making you, but gee whizz what a great opportunity! When we announced this at our last event there was much interest. And some are already planning and amending their race numbers to include their phone numbers on tear off tags. So clever are our Scorcher-ees.
We also encourage wearing A LOT of red. Bonus points for anyone racing in a Cupid's outfit.
Remember too - you have the opportunity when registering online to donate to the Heart Foundation, we encourage you (if you can) to donate a few bucks their way. A great organisation that funds research and promotes heart health in order to reduce the rates of cardiovascular disease in New Zealand.
Yours in training (and being cupid)
