Janaury - March 2013

Stepping into 2013, the workload on my daytime job is overwhelming, as the Club Secretary for Sonic I am reaching capacity that I lost track on my training and Sonic administrative works, apology for all the delay response or the inquiry was going to nowhere, leaving this space a bit quiet in the winter time. Also missing all the reminder to members to enroll the Duathlon 1/2/3....
Nevertheless, Coach Kenneth is maintaining his quality coaching to Sonic with the new responsibility as a father and busy Hong Kong Regional squad coach. We also have more new members joining our training and maintaining the atmosphere, thanks for the members get members, hopefully they will be ready to sign up some races in the coming season and take up the triathlon drugs.

Season Opening

The season of 2013 will be kick-off by the warm up race of Aquathon 1 at Kowloon Tsai Park for 400m swim and 4k run, season opener age-group triathlon on 5th May is also opening registration from triathlon.com.hk make sure you have completed the membership registration so you can sign up online and represent Sonic Sports Association in this season!

Watch out for some of the members keeping the consistent off-season training, they will probably be dancing in the coming race season.
