H1N1 (Swine Flu) Situation

18 June 2009 4:18pm

We have been following developments in the efforts to contain the H1N1 virus and its effect on people’s health to determine its impact on our Cross Country championships this year. While we consider it appropriate to continue with the championships as planned we ask that anyone who has influenza symptoms or who think they might possibly have possibly been exposed to the virus not to take part and stay at home. If anyone has the symptoms associated with influenza they should definitely not run. Whether or not these symptoms mean athletes have the H1N1 virus or are affected by other viruses or bacterial infections already present in our community will probably not be known but it is sensible to be very cautious about the amount of stress athletes place on themselves when unwell. We ask Team Managers and Caregivers to closely monitor the health status of the competitors they are responsible for and to make sensible decisions about whether or not they should compete. We also ask that anyone who feels unwell to isolate themselves as much as possible and not attend the prizegiving, disco or wave rave in the interests of both their own health and the health of others.

Please note that any changes or late entries must be emailed to oe@nzssaa.org.nz.

Wave Rave

15 June 2009 9:10am

The tickets for the cross country disco went in a hurry, and we are sorry to those who missed out this year. Managers, please bring any spare tickets with you to the disco to sell to those who are still hopeful of getting in.

As an alternative, the manager of the ASB Aquatic Centre in Richmond (500 metres from the course off Main Road Stoke) said he would put on a Wave Rave from 7pm until 9pm Saturday if he could be guaranteed 100 boys and girls. A Wave Rave is generated by the pool’s wave machine and some loud music. There is a cafe, and attendees can purchase burgers, chips, drinks, etc. There also is a spa pool.

If you are interested in the Wave Rave alternative, you must commit by sending an e-mail to greglautenslager@xtra.co.nz. Simply write your school name and number of Wave Rave guests you expect to attend. No message is necessary.

And don’t forget to bring your togs. Cost will be $5 per person.

Barefoot Runners

15 June 2009 9:05am

It is recommended that runners wear spikes if at all possible. There are sections of the course with gravel and prickles that make it not particularly suitable for bare feet. However, team managers of runners intending to compete barefooted can exchange their athletes transponders designed for shoe attachment for ones attached to ankle straps when they pick up their managers packs. It would be appreciated if we could be pre-warned as to which athletes want to compete barefooted so that we can begin the process of allocating the transponders before race day. Managers are asked to email the names of athletes requiring ankle straps to oe@nzssaa.org.nz as soon as possible please.
