DAY 17 DOUGLAS RUGBY 4 WEEK IRONMAN CHALLENGE

Were now onto day 18, there has been some truly remarkable stories so far.  The challenge was all about getting our community active, and increasing senior players aerobic fitness, so we can concentrate on rugby at the start of July.  Adrian Shimmin covered 546km on the road bike after the first 2 weeks, Conor McCaughan covered just over 100km week one with a mix of running and walking.  The likes of our juniors Hugh Tummon, Josh Dougal made over 40% increases in performance last week, under 14 Charlie Scarffe is leading the way for most seniors with a mix of long distance running and cycling.   One of our sponsors Paula Garland set the target of silver week one, achieved Gold week 2, I cannot wait to see what her finally distance is Sunday.  Keep up the great work everyone, it’s awesome to see everyone out and completing their challenge.

A massive thank you to Cylce 360, Up & Running and Paula's Kitchen who have generously donated spot prizes for each of our 4 week challenges.  If you want a good coffee, or need anything bike related Cycle 360 is the place to be.  When your out running those extra miles, you will be surpirsed with the difference wearing the right kit can make Up & Running has everything.  With endurance sports nutrition is very important, Paula's Kitchen little treats provide the energy boost to get you home.  Support local, Buy local, Support those that support you!!! Cylce 360, Up & Running, Paula's Kitchen.
