Every year approximately 7500 people arrive in Taupo, New Zealand to compete in a one-day cycling race around Lake Taupo. The race route is 160 km in length. Participants can choose to compete in the full race or the half-race (80 km). Let’s imagine that you were given a free ticket to compete in the Lake Taupo Cycle Challenge next year and you were able to bring three people with you as your ‘support crew.’ Who would you bring with you?
If it was me, I would choose my son, Aronui, as one of my supporters because he’s really funny and energetic. I think that he would make sure that I had a great time and that I spent the entire day laughing and smiling. I would also choose my sister, Leigh, because she is very strong and fast. Thirdly, I would choose my co-leader, Hazel, because she is very organised and would make sure that we followed the trail and didn’t get lost!
On your blog, list the three people you would like to have on your Lake Taupo Cycle Race Support Crew. Tell us why you have chosen each person.
I have chosen Sam my oldest brother, because he is strong and he is so energinic and i will chose my other brother Loto, because he is funny and he is always working out and he keeps pushing himeself to be a rugby player last of all i have chosen my brother peni because he is crazy and he loves to go on tirps and that is all the 3 people from my family to come with me to toupou.
Kia ora Mason,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Hazel and I am part of the Summer Learning Journey (SLJ) team. I’ll be helping Sophie and the team out in Manaiakalani.
I really like that you have chosen your three brothers as your support crew; it's great that you all get along so well! Do you think that you would like to compete the the Great Taupo Cycle Race for real one day? Why/why not?
Hazel :)
