Farewell for Conor Sherriff:
After entering NZ on a dodgy limited “Youth” visa obtained from County Limerick, Conor has run out of options to stay in NZ. He explored a few options for renewal, including:
The Active Investor Plus visa - $4,998,456.67 short of the required amount.
Professional Triathlete’s visa - 18 minutes 12 seconds short of the required time.
Sneaking a visa under an amendment to the Fisheries Amendment Bill - 12cm too short of the required length (see photo)
The only option: Return to Ireland after the NHTC Prize-giving.
So… book a leave pass for Sunday 19th July because we’ll likely be hanging around Takapuna for a few drinks with Conor to send him on his way.

This Saturday’s run workout: Hill bounding and over-speed strides at Birkenhead Wharf. Straight out of the Lydiard Playbook - this workout should be used in the transition between base and speed work (that’s now for those going to the Woolongong World Tri Champs). I know this session works (especially for old people) because I had it in my programme when I won the Aquathon, Sprint Triathlon and Standard Distance Triathlon in the 50+ age group at the 2014 ITU Edmonton Triathlon World Champs. The workout will take around 55 minutes total. That includes 15 minutes easy running from Birkenhead Park to Birkenhead Wharf, the main set, and the run back to Birkenhead Park. It’s not a super hard session but it WILL put hairs on your chest! Even if you’re injured and can’t do the hard parts, get down to Birkenhead Park after Saturday’s swim and bike sessions to get a good feel for this valuable workout.
