Event day is here - Tim at Ventouro, our training and coaching partner, says there are 3 key things to think about before and during the event

Written By Kim Manunui

Event day is here, time to put all the hard work into practice.

3 Key things to think about before and during the event:

Pacing - Putting in big efforts early on can cost you later in the ride. Try not to get carried away with the excitement of the event and big groups and go beyond your limits early on. Keeping a little left in the legs for the last quarter can make a big difference to your time.

Nutrition - Make a plan of when you’ll eat your main pieces of food and how much hydration you’ll need. I.e first banana at 30km. This will make sure you are fuelled for later in the event and can use those energy gels to get you home as fast as possible.

Stay safe & communicate - Remember to keep your eyes up and aware of your surroundings at all times, pushing hard on the pedals can make you less cautious especially later in the event. Be confident to communicate clearly with the riders around you when needed to point out and hazards or turns etc.

And above all, get out there and have fun! Enjoy the scenery and the challenge it’s a spectacular event.

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.
