Hi All

First week in France and first podium ☺!

So after a lengthy break from racing after Ironman SA, Special and I landed in my favourite place in the

world to race – France . The idea is to spend a few weeks getting away from the cold in SA, and get some

sort of speed back in the legs. For the first time, Special has joined me, and even though he is not ready to

rival the Pros, he had a thoroughly enjoyable time racing in Le Mans this past weekend...

Thanks Caroline.

Hi Linda,

Many thanks for taking my call and showing interest in our event

We are hosting an exciting event that we feel would interest the members of your running club on Saturday

27th

September 2014 at Van Gaalens in Hartebeespoort

The IMPI Challenge is a social, fun event which consists of an obstacle course trail run in both 6km and

12km distances. Our event started in 2009 and is the original obstacle trail challenge in South Africa.

For a closer look into what we are about have a look at our latest promo video here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYUSJdm-7jM

Would your club be interested in passing on information to your members and offering them a discount on

their entries?

There are 2 ways the discount can work – 10% of each ticket can be given to your running club or the

member can receive that discount off their entries

I look forward to hearing from you. Should you not be the person to make contact with please let me know

who I can contact in this regard.

Hello Linda

I was wondering if you could help us with something, my twins will be hosting a “takkie drive” at their

birthday party in September – we are collecting takkies and running shoes, new or old, any size or colour for

charity. Our aim is to get at least 100 pairs of shoes, but hope to get to 200 by the 24th

September.

Any chance you can post something about this on your weekly newsletter? People can drop it off at the club

and I can collect or just call me and we can arrange to collect.

Kind Regards
