Seemore's Challenge

Seemore's Challenge is an initiative to get children exercising. In three teams the students cover the equivalent distance to the Hawaii Iron Man Race:
3.8km swimming; 180km cycling; 42km running. Alfredton Primary School has made the Challenge an annual event. The $226 we raised will be used to send a child to a camp for kids who have received burns.

Swimming
The first venue for our Seemore's Challenge was the Ballarat Aquatic Centre's indoor 25m pool. The team had to swim 3.8km, but as 8 students and 3 teachers swam at least 550m each (22 laps), the team covered over 6km, smashing the required total.

Lap 22, last lap	One task done, two to go	Winners are grinners

Running
We met at St Patrick's Point at Lake Wendouree, Ballarat's premier distance running venue and headed off for a quarter lap of the lake and back again. The team had to run 42km, but as 10 students and 5 teachers/parents ran 3km each, the team covered 45km.

The runners (& 1 walker) are ready	They're off (some are more off than others)	Front runners at the 2km mark
It's not easy being green	Two Big Macs	Lani takes a breather
Oi, back away from the ice cream van	The halfway mark. Time to retrace your steps.

Cycling
The team had to cycle 180km. Each member aimed for 3 laps of beautiful Lake Wendouree, a total of 18 km.

Mrs Myers joined in the fun.	Here comes Josh	One lap down, two to go

But Lachlan looks worse for wear	The last group arrives	Heading home. Who forgot the cars?
