Triathlon Report

The School Triathlon

On Wednesday the 17th of February Haumoana school had their triathlon. The course was 3 laps around the goal posts for the year 5 & 6, two for year 4 and one for year 3.  The bike was around the field up the hill, down the hill through this gap between the classrooms, past the lunch area, onto the concrete play area, past the monkey and back on the field. The year 5 & 6 had to do this twice. Year 3 & 4 once. After that there was the swim. After a long bike and run I think everyone thought the swim was   refreshing.
