Jenna and I would like to thank all our Pioneers for a wonderful year. Congratulations on all the hard work you put in and all those mini and major goals achieved (including giving Jenna and I grey hair).
Thank you to everyone that joined us at our Xmas Party at Hotel Realm on Friday night. It was another great end to the year, and everyone had an awesome night.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Jenna for running all sessions for 3 weeks whilst I was overseas. It was a huge ask, and she did an unbelievable job. You are a great business partner buddy, and I appreciate you every day. Even when you take toilet breaks….

Hi all, (it’s Lach – your friendly neighbourhood geek),

My beloved Helga is turning 50 very soon.  So much has changed in our lives since we celebrated Helga’s 40th birthday.  One of the most significant changes is our fitness and in particular training with Pioneer Training.  Jenna, Kristy and everyone who trains with us have made fitness an important part of our lives.  With Pioneer Training’s expert guidance we’ve managed to train and compete in lots of fun runs (who would have thought we’d like running). So it seemed natural to celebrate Helga’s 50th with a lunchtime 5km run around Lake Burley Griffin.  We hope you can join us.  The details and link to a map are below.

Date: Tue 20 Dec 2011

Time: 12.15 (warm up from 12noon)

Meeting at: bottom carpark, Regatta Point

Link: map of run

If you’d like me to send you an invite via Google or Facebook (I know I would be lost without reminders), send an email to me at podfink@gmail.com

Well done to Denise who competed and completed in her first Marathon this weekend. Denise busted out 42kms in 4:29 and her heart rate sat at an awesome 90% the entire way round. Great work Blaydo an inspiration to all!

We had loads of Pioneer’s out training and getting into Summer this morning and good work to everyone that checked in with me to say they had done it. We had Kira, Bri, Corrina and Felicity participating in a Triathlon a very had sport with 3 disciplines Running, Swimming and Cycling always a great way to do it in a team like the girls did today. We had Annie and Sal on a 22km bike ride out in the sun and we had Lauren out doing the Ben Donohoe Fun run in Belconnen with a quick run of 40 minutes and a PB. Let me know what you did on our facebook page! AND a HUGE good luck to Blaydo who is doing a Marathon run down near Cowra today stay updated for Blaydos Results

A huge congratulations to Bel who last night hit her final and end goal of 65kg. Thats a total of 30.6kglost and a whopping 130cm ofher girth measurements AND a hell of a lot of ass kicking. Great work Bel!

Kristy and I were at the lake at the crack of Dawn attempting to put up the Marquis although Kristy no doubt could have done it on her own I was having issues! We finally got it up with the help of 3 others and just as we finished the team started to arrive.
Pumped for a big day we had our first race at 9am. Coming in a quick second the girls were shaking from all the adrenalin pumping through their legs and arms. Kristy had arm pump from banging the drum but we were super proud of the whole team. Next race up was SUPER close all 4 leading boats crossed the line in what looked like it was a tough one to pick. As we got our results, we came in 4th but we didn’t care as we knew we had made the finals. The team made the B final so we were in the top 10 teams all day. GO US!! We were all pumped for the final 90 strokes as we headed to the start line. We were off giving everything we had and that was Zena warrior calls, grunting, screaming and by the end MASSIVE shoulders. The final outcome .4 of a second between the top teams ad we came an awesome 3RD!!!!! Not to mention we had a quicker time then some of the teams in the A final but I’m not bragging at all. Thanks to the whole team for an AMZING day

The team had their last training session today and are pumped to get into it next weekend. We worked on our starts and I can’t give much more away just in case our competition are reading the website and I am sure they are!!! If your free this Saturday the 22nd come down and support the team who are raising money for Breast Cancer down at Weston Park by the lake.

A huge fitness session tonight and it was on like donkey kong. A few combos that had hands flying everywhere but after a few minutes of it we had it under control. Dennis showed the group how to do push ups on your toes for a minute which had a few of the group realise they were slacking off. After a huge hour on the pads we had a little AB work to finish off. We only have one more week at M-Power dome then we hit the great outdoors again.

We are getting a group together for the Tour De Femme on the 13th of November 2011. The Tour de Femme is a women’s-only twenty kilometre ride that doubles as both a race and a participation event. We are at the moment getting expression of interests to join the Pioneer Team so if you are keen please let Jenna know as soon as possible. BE COURAGEOUS
