Massage and biodynamics in Wellington

A quick shout out to my friend Emily at healthscape for her great massage and other help with keeping me fit enough to keep playing all this sport!

We've moved

It turns out 'One Night Stand', when googled, doesn't find this blog, so we've shifted to http://toughlikejelly.blogspot.com/, which is a lot more search friendly

Osprey Packs/nitelights.co.nz

we're proud to announce that not only will be using fantastic packs from Osprey, world leaders in pack technology, but we'll also be using the awesome 900 Lumen dimmable bike lights from nitelights.co.nz. Not to be confused with Nightlightning from Christchurch, these high quality, low cost no nonsense LED lights are a new product shipping out of Auckland, and we'll be spearheading their first major foray into Australia, the home of Ay-Ups.

New Name? New Logo!

XPD is being raced as (Osprey packs/???) Tough Like Jelly, and as
we've invested in the logo, 'One Night Stand' may be retired in favour
of 'Tough Like Jelly'.

Boxes done!

Apparently it takes 2 people about 4 hours to cover 2 boxes in Duraseal,
strengthen the handles, number/ name them, and hopefully make them
distinctive enough to stand out in transitions.

Shame they'll probably only last 1 race ;-(

Thankyou Osprey packs!

we're currently going into XPD as Osprey packs/ tough like jelly (though
we're hoping to announce a joint naming sponsor very soon), and were very
pleased to take delivery of a box of very nice Osprey Talon packs from New
Zealand distributor southernapproach.co.nz today. With tow rope loops and
shoulder holsters already built in, these could be the first packs I've
been able to take straight out of the box and race with!

The insect repellent, gaiters and potable aqua water purifying tablets will
hopefully keep us pretty safe in the harsh environment that we'll be racing
in.

Well apparently it's not too bad

Despite trying to ruin XPD 2 weeks out by having a reasonably big off at
the crazyman on saturday, my wonderful physio reckons that keeping up with
the compression and a bit of gentle massage should see it right by the time
we head off to Cairns in less than 2 weeks time!
