2008 Foxtel Lap Event

Congratulations to everyone who participated in the Fitnance Team for the 2008 Foxtel Lap, raising money for the Murdoch Childrens Research Institute. The Fitnance Team came 4th overall with a total of 1042 laps. Our team consisted of Tom, Lazo, Anita, Tanya (twice), Jessica, Lara, Daniel, Kirk, Kirk's dad Ross who just happened to be hanging around at the right time, Lyrian, Fiona, Mizpah, Jake (twice), Russ, Phoebe, Rodney, Jackie, and our chief, Chris.

The day kicked off at 8am with Tom Kennedy running an easy 74 laps. Tom thought he would just warm up on 15km/h then crank it up to 20km/h for the last 10 minutes, however he was disappointed to find out the hard way that the maximum speed on the treadmill was 16km/h. Well done to Tom who had the second highest total laps for the day.

Chris was in his element with the microphone in his hand all day, leading everyone through a warm up and stretches. He almost became the MC. When it was time for the final race of the day, Chris was ready to take on all the chiefs. The treadmill was cranked up as fast as it could go at 16km/h and Chris kept at that pace for the full 30 minutes. Unfortunately, he was beaten by Telstra by 1 lap. It was a very exciting finish to an eventful day. Thank you to Fiona, Jessica, Lara, Daniel, Anita, Tom and Jake who volunteered to help out throughout the day.
