Well done to all the athletes who participated in the 70.3 Ironman South Africa. Our condolences go out to the families of the two tri-athletes who tragically lost their lives.

A special congrats to Dirk Visser who completed the race in 6h18min1sec! Fantastic Dirk you make us proud!

Please also feel free read this useful article about deaths at US triathlons 2003-2011. All tri-athletes should be aware. http://t.co/QvSh9O4A

Hi fellow members,
 
Dean Witz asked me to share this info with all of you.

They would like to reach out as best as possible to as many sportsmen and women to signing them up on to our service.

Please do note hesitate to contact him.

Regards,

Leon

Life-On-Line ID is a 24 hour Emergency medical Information and crisis management system. Life-On-Line ID has designed a unique database service where all past and current medical information and relevant personal details are stored within our system. You may ask yourself what difference this may make in an emergency situation if one were to arise? The answer is EVERYTHING. If an ambulance “eventually” arrives at an emergency scene the medical personnel do not know anything about the patient which makes it hard to give effective treatment. When Life-On-Line ID sends out a response call to an ambulance company we have a fully detailed profile on our system which allows us and the treating paramedics, nurses and Doctors to give correct and effective treatment for that particular patient. We are there to ensure the best care for our clients while at home, work, sport activities or a social event and in the case of any emergency, all that needs to be done is to call our emergency number.


The advantages of being on the Life-On-Line ID database and ICE system:

 

*      No matter where the Life-On-Line client is, whether they are conscious or not we have all of their necessary medical and relevant information and they have our ID product with them with our telephone number on.

*      We are able to manage and facilitate any and all emergency treatment to the client from our controller line whether they are conscious or not.

*      We are able to advise treating personnel of the client’s medical history.

*      We will be a direct line to the client and family should an emergency arise.

*      We store electronic copies of proof of identification as well as other important documentation needed.

 

We speak for our clients when they can’t speak for themselves. We manage and facilitate our client’s emergency. It is our system that saves lives.

 
We are trying to sign people up  especially sportsmen and women that are on the road. It takes away having to carry identification or medical aid details. All the information is captured on our secure system and identification is worn.

Please can you just send a response letting me know that you have received this email.

 
Regards

Good day fellow Wingate members and fans!

Thank you to everyone that joined us at the time trial last night and welcome! There were a few new faces and then the avid die hard WRR time trial locals as usual also pitched! Our family is really starting to grow!

Our 1st meeting of 2013 took place last night and we touched on a lot of points such as tent races, weekends away, 10Km & 21km champs etc. We will provide all of you with some feedback in our weekly newsletter. This surely is going to be an exciting year!

We had numerous requests to add a new colour running short to our kit as opposed to just the Royal Blue shorts. The reason for this is that there are limited Royal Blue shorts available for both the gents and ladies. We are happy to announce that you can run in black running shorts during races. We found that this was the most popular colour on the market and great quality shorts can be purchased.

If you do have any suggestions or complaints you are more than welcome to contact me directly or via email.

Please join our Facebook group http://www.facebook.com/groups/273784342699483/ and follow us on Twitter @wingaterunners  

Happy training!

Regards,

Leon

AGN CHAMPIONSHIPS

There will not be an official AGN Championship race in 2013. The above mentioned races will serve as Championship races. You must compete in 2 races per distance.

Based on the average of your two fastest times, over each distance, the following Champions per distance will be crowned :

·         Juniors -10km minimum age 15,   21km minimum age 16. Athletes who turn 20 in 2013 will compete as seniors for the whole year. Copies of identity documents are therefore a prerequisite.

·         Seniors – up to age 39

·         Per Age category in 5 year intervals from age 40 and up.

 

We are hoping to add an incentive to this. (Work in Progress)
 
Regards,
