THE TERM SO FAR....
A HAT TRICK OF WINS, REFLECTING ON ROUND 3 OF THE VICTORIAN HPV SERIES....
"On the 9th of August, Epsom Primary HPV team set out for a hat trick of wins and lets just say we may have made that happen. We started behind which lit a fire in us. So we made it our mission to hunt Jells Park PS down. Adrenaline got out with an early lead but Whiplash on the other hand was doing phenomenal. By mid afternoon Whiplash was in THIRD! We drifted down to fifth but fought hard to score a pulsating third position. The best Whiplash has done all season. But to finish off with a third comes ANOTHER FIRST PLACE for Adrenaline. Three wins in a row is amazing!" - Lewis G
TERM 3 TRAINING UPDATE
"Term 3 has been a busy training term, on Thursday, it was raining, Flynn, Lexi and Eli had to ride in the rain while we suffered. But thankfully the sky cleared and it was business as usual. This term we have introduced a girls group on Friday afternoons. This is a fun way for our girls to work together on some individual and team goals. Some people ride in the trike for 25 minutes while others are on the spin bikes doing their own personal training. Mr.P has been joining in well, thankfully he isn't on our team. Every week we have to do 50 to 70 laps around Tom Flood at a really good average. Our team goal is to get our averages under 40 seconds across a stint. 6 riders have already achieved this goal. Mr. Hartland brought a go pro as well this term for us to use at the track and filmed Abbey riding 5 laps around Tom Flood. Check out the fun below." - Eden M and Abbey H.
LEARNING ABOUT NUTRITION...
As a HPV rider, you need to know what foods can boost your performance in and out of the trike. To learn this, we had a smoothie session with Mrs Wicks in the canteen. We had all different types of fruits, vegetables, ( and some chocolate! ) to make our smoothies with. Everybody had lots of fun making our smoothies, and cleaning up before getting to drink our delicious smoothie. They were so good. We put in liquids that helped us enhance our skills in HPV.
To determine which foods helped us complete this, we wrote down our problems after exiting the trike like sweating and leg cramps. We studied foods that could resolve our problems, and recorded our recipes in our books. Thank you to Mrs Wicks for giving us a
look at how much nutrition matters for our body. - Flynn P.
PERFORMANCE AND PARTS UPGRADES...
"After some amazing work from our families with fundraising efforts, our team has invested in a full upgrade package for Whiplash. Our trike went to G Trikes in South Australia to get an upgrade to allow both team the same aerodynamic equipment.
Our upgrade included a new lid, moving from a high-top to a low top for better air flow. We had a fully serviced brake and drive line as well as a new lightweight rear wheel."
