Track Cycling World Championships

Written By Kim Manunui

In the beginning of August I competed at the Track Cycling World Championships held in Glasgow. I had some pretty good results from this competition placing 3rd in the Individual Pursuit and 2nd in the Team Pursuit but still felt a mix of emotions.

While I was happy with the outcomes, I was unhappy with some of my performances and didn’t quite reach the goals I had set for myself. I did however take a lot of learnings from this and what I need more of in training over the next 11 months in order to be in the best form of my life come the Paris Olympics next year.

After the world champs I had 3 weeks off training. I spent the first 9 days touring the hebridean way in Scotland on bikes with my dad. We biked 30-80km each day on much heavier bikes than I am used to! We saw some really amazing views and met a lot of really lovely people along the way. It was definitely a trip to remember!

I spent the remaining time I had off catching up on my university studies, enjoyed a quick trip over the ditch to Sydney with my partner, and got back into running.

It has been a really refreshing mental break more than anything but now I am itching to get back into training and start the build up to the 2024 Olympic Games and Lake Taupō Cycle Challenge.

Hi, I’m Kim and I work with a great team to help individuals, as well as small and not so small businesses get their message, product and services to the world using digital media and creating wonderful websites that don’t cost the earth.

I was born in Canada, and grew up around Vancouver and the mountains of British Columbia. My love of pristine environments led me to New Zealand and eventually to the mountains, lakes and rivers of the central North Island which is home. My family’s heritage is here, and it’s from here that Korio traverses the planet.

The digital world is never static and neither are we.

And I say ‘we’ because I work with an awesome group of talented people who I gather together as required to complete a project.  Whatever your business, not-for-profit or individual needs are we gather the best team to get the job done.

Collaboratively we are creative, share sustainable values and work hard for great outcomes because that’s the buzz of satisfaction that drives us.

If you have an audience and market to reach, we can make that happen. Creative design, words that work and smart behind the scenes stuff that cuts through the online noise. We’ll design your website and then build it. We’ll manage the content as well as all your hosting needs. We can handle your online advertising so you get noticed,
and we’ll manage your social media presence so you get the clicks, likes and engagement to grow your business. All within the budget you set, because none of this needs to cost the earth.  And the job doesn’t stop when your website goes live. We are your virtual business partner.
