Newsletter- 7 February

Posted in Newsletter
Dinamic Coaching logoHello Dinamic athletes

Exciting things happening in the Northern Hemisphere with the start of the Winter Olympics in Sochi. The opening ceremony is tonight at 8pm (SA time) and it should be quite interesting!! (On a side note do yourself a favour and watch the P&G Sochi ad…it is really a great motivation for any sport and for becoming the best you can be! Video can be watched here)

Whilst things are of a snowy nature over there, things are heating up in SA with some great results flying in from the Dinamic Team! Huge congrats to the following athletes:

  • Oswald for winning his category at the SA Road cycling TT champs
  • Olga for placing 2nd overall at the WP Duathlon Champs
  • Simone Faulmann for being selected to race at the junior ATU race next weekend (a Youth Olympic qualifying race!)
  • All the athletes selected for the WP Triathlon team- Olga Koorts, Bianca Tait, Diana MacPherson, Jacqui Roberts, Marco Stichini, SImone Faulmann and Colleen De Oliveira.
  • Lee Hutchinson for setting a new PB at the Lions Head Half Marathon.
Good luck to Lizzy Strauss, Amanda Viljoen and Mariette Swanepoel who are all taking part in the Midmar mile this weekend!

Ian Els has offered to help coach our swimmers in Gauteng. As a result he will be taking over the group swims. They will still be at Willowridge Monday’s and Wednesday’s from 18:00- 19:00. Please contact him if you are interested in joining the squad – 083 464 9975

We are planning a triathlon workshop in Cape Town and Gauteng in March. If you are interested then please mail Tracy (CT) and Riana (GAU). You will be added to the mail list and sent more details.

A reminder, too, about the Valentines Day get-together in Cape Town (6pm at the Champan’s Peak Hotel). Please mail Tracy if you would like to attend, or need more info).  A very cool Valentines Day present (for those of you needing an idea!) is an entry to the Kona Lottery!! Read about how to give the BEST gift ever here.
