Nelson surf life saving competition

On the 21st- 22nd of January we went to nelson to do a surf life saving competition. There was a swimming at the pool day 1 and on day 2 we should have gone to Tahunanui beach to do some paddle but it way canceled because of bad weather. On day one we did all sorts of different things in a 50 m pool and the pool was out side and there was a 3 m high diving block and a slide where you slide down. On that day I got my first first place by doing a rely we where leading start to finish the really was  4 people and every person only had to swim 25 meters some one person at each end and two in the middle  I swam last and finish nearly 25 m in front of every one else but are third person made most of the gape because the water was freezing cold and the person wanted to keep warm.

Day 1 I got 1 first and two thirds day two it got canceled so we when shopping.

Surf life saving is really fun at surf life saving you learn how to board paddle improve your swimming strokes and life saving thing you need to do if you are in trouble in the water like how to spot a rip!!!

West Coast Wilderness Trail

On the 12-13 my family a I went on the West coast Wilderness trail. Our neighbor brought us to Ross and we cycle 73 km till cowboy paradise that was day one. But biking 73 km with out stopping is really tiring  so we stop at place like Hokitika, lake Mahinapau and lots more. Oh that reminds me of the flooded bride walk by lake Mahinapau it was really skinny and and it had no wall around it and the water was over the top and at one bit there was no bridge at all but the water was only knee deep

 here is a picture to show you. when no flooded

On the second day we drove back to Greymouth one of the thing I liked about going back to Greymouth was the Taramakau bridge bike bit there where three big truck all of them cross one and it felt like a giant earth quake and another thing i like what having a stop for ice cream.  One thing I did not like was fall off in front of the handle bars. On day two we went 63 km and I forgot to where my biking trouser and I hurt my butt.

I hope you get a chance to do it because I really in-joyed it but remember to ware biking pants!!!
