PAGE 2 Te Awamutu Courier, Tuesday, March 11, 2008 Training mates thrive on rivalry Pushing each other in training and in competition leads to great results in Ironman New Zealand

By Grant Johnston Louise Livingstone and Wayne Strong are great endurance event training mates - but they’re also fi erce rivals. And that rivalry is spurring them both on to fi ne per- formances - as they produced in the recent Ironman New Zealand event in Taupo. The rivalry was fi rst established in the Tauranga half ironman a couple of years ago, when Livingstone rode away from Strong to beat him home. She repeated that success over the endurance event ‘veteran’ in the Rotorua half marathon, with Strong being caught out after miscalculating how far he had to go. They began training together in November for Ironman New Zealand - an event involving a 3.8km swim leg, 180 kilometre cycle leg and a marathon 42.2km run to fi nish. Livingstone had won her entry at a training camp in Feb- ruary 2007 at Taupo run by Cameron Brown. Livingstone and Strong credit their fi ve or six hour rides on Sundays as a key component of their successful training. It paid off with 50-year-old Strong smashing his previous best time, completing his fourth ironman in 12 hours, 26 minutes, 28 seconds - placing him 26th in the men’s 50-54 year age group. Livingstone, in her fi rst ironman, was 20th woman home in the 35-39 year age group in a time of 13 hours, three minutes, 11 seconds. They both plan to repeat the event in 2009 - and with the battle tally 2-1 in Livingstone’s favour they both have plenty of motivation to go even faster. They will benefi t from a much longer build-up for next year’s event - rather than having to cram their preparation into just a few months like this year. Strong says he is keen to break the 12 hour mark next year - although he says before then he will be asking his understanding wife Leona for her support again in what will be their 25th year of marriage. “I’m grateful that I’ve also got an encouraging farm boss in Alan Mockford, a great coach and massage therapist in Ian Barraclough and a brilliant training partner in Louise.” Livingstone says she was rapt with her swim (“for a non swimmer”), went through a couple of fl at patches on the cycle leg but felt good for most of the run. Crossing the fi nish line with her four children was “awe- some”. She too enjoyed plenty of support from husband, Mike, as well as coach Mark Fulford, massage therapists Ian Barraclough and Angela Elvin, and Peter Rennie and Tony Olsen from Integrated Cycles. WAYNE STRONG on the way to wiping 25 minutes off his Strong completed the swim in 1.20:40, the bike in 6.29: LOUISE LIVINGSTONE crosses the line at Taupo with previous best 180km cycle leg during the Ironman New 25 and the run in 4.25:40.

Waikato reps The Bluck Cup was donated in 1950 by FT Bluck to promote relay team swimming in the district. It has been contested every year since. The programme consists of several team relays. The Bluck Cup, itself, is open to any business house located in the Waipa District Council boundaries. The Dunwoody Cup is contested by sports and service clubs, the Horsburgh Trophy is a family event (three people from the same family), and the Cook Cup is a women’s only relay team event. There are also three individual events contested. All of the three-strong team events are contested as handicap races to enable swimmers with a wide range of abilities to compete, usually resulting in some close and exciting racing. Te Awamutu Swimming Club has received considerable interest in this year’s business relays. It is envisaged there will be a need for heats, semi- fi nals and fi nals for the fi rst time in recent years. Three individual events for swimmers aged 15 years and over have been added to the programme.
