The post MOTIVATOR …. TDF and JULY CHALLENGE appeared first on TeamCP.

In July, we’ll be taking on the Tour de France challenge, and we highly recommend watching the Netflix documentary to get you pumped up and ready to ride.

Before we get to July, let’s take a moment to reflect on the incredible efforts seen during May’s challenge, which saw Everest’s happening all over the country, both indoors and outdoors. And, as if that wasn’t enough, we’re thrilled to announce the launch of our podcast series with CLIFFTOP CHALLENGE, which kicked off this week.. Be sure to tune in and join us on this exciting new journey.

We recently had our first adventure with the CP Squad! We headed to Lewis Pass for a day of learning how to use our wet weather gear and sharing some delicious baked treats. It was an incredible opportunity to connect with fellow members and learn new skills while enjoying the beautiful outdoors. We can’t wait for our next adventure.

TIM HANSON

– CP COACH

We are very excited to announce an addition to our coaching team.

Welcome aboard Tim Hanson.

Tim shares a little about himself below….

Hi, I am Tim, an Auckland based Team CP coach.

I have been endurance racing for over 10 years now. It all started for me while living in Western Australia where the challenge of completing an Ironman 70.3 was presented to me by a friend. As you could imagine the journey going from very little experience in the sport to completing such a distance was a large undertaking, but it was also a really rewarding experience and one that kick-started my love for all things endurance sport.

Ever since, it is safe to say I have been hooked, having now completed multiple Ironman 70.3 & Ironman distance events across Australia & New Zealand.

Being raised in Canterbury I remember when I was younger watching these people cross the finish line on the sands of Sumner Beach after traversing from one side of the South Island to the other. I thought these people were incredible, but never did I think that one day that would or could be me. In 2023, I got to experience that finish line after completing the Coast to Coast Longest Day, yet again this was a journey full of highs, lows, learnings, setbacks and comebacks which have provided me with more experiences that I now take with me into my coaching.

Outside of Coaching Team CPer’s I also coach in the corporate world. I do a lot of work with individuals and teams within organisations helping them create high performance environments that enable them to achieve optimal results. I am also a qualified personal trainer with over 5 years’ experience in the fitness industry having helped clients reach their goals both in New Zealand and overseas (OZ & Canada)

I love being part of the wider Team CP community and I feel so fortunate to be able to work with a great bunch of people who have a desire to achieve extraordinary things.

Endurance sport has done so much for me personally, so to be in a position where I can be part of other people’s journey’s helping them bring their goals to life no matter how big or small is really exciting.

SIGNATURE HOMES 

– CP PARTNER

The emerging athlete award helped me prepare for the multisport championships, The Kathmandu Coast to Coast, by providing a Nutritionist, Strength Coach and Multisport Coach. This was a massive help for me and guided me in the right direction to be fully prepared, confident to have a good race and be happy with my result. This Award also gave be the capability to attend the CP Squad missions in 2022.I really enjoyed the day out exploring and gaining some vertical meters in the snow as well!  It was nice to meet and greet other fellow Team CP athletes and hear their training journeys.

I have been a part of the team CP Community since the age of 13. I have been involved in the CP support crew for athletes competing in the Kathmandu Coast to Coast. I have many memories over the three years I helped, two memories that stuck with me the most was waking up at 3am to scrutineer the kayaks and then eating a bacon butty, and the other one would have to be when Jake Vargo but petrol in his diesel Ute towing the kayak trailer. we did break down!

I have known Richard Greer for about 6 years now, he has been my coach for 2 years starting in 2021 and has been amazing to work with. He is really supportive, especially when I was going through a few health issues  – post Covid having trouble with my chest and heart. I also struggled with sorting my medication for my epilepsy so had to work around these issues. These happened early of 2022 and took a few months to rest and recover. Few months later Richard and I started to put a training plan together, I was absolutely buzzing and ready to start training again for the 2022 Kathmandu Coast to Coast.

During my year as an the Signature Homes Emerging Athlete, I also received Strength Coaching from CP Strength Coach, Kim Vargo. Kim is extremely knowledgeable about strength and conditioning, knowing about injuries and ways to support them. She helped me become stronger for each discipline and I definitely noticed a difference during the training and during the race. Her workout’s definitely left me sore the next day, even a couple of days! Really appreciated having her as my strength coach and it was really nice to be coached by her!

CP Dietitian Cushla Jackson was a pleasure to work with, her understanding of Nutrition is inspiring and was beyond helpful for training and races. We spoke about many things that could improve my everyday nutrition and race nutrition, I learnt so much while working with her. This was extremely helpful and I will definitely take away what I learnt and continue to improve.

I would like to say a massive thank you to Signature Homes for opening this opportunity to help support young Athletes to help with future races. I am truly grateful for receiving this award, what an awesome experience it was!

NICOLE LOVEGROVE 

– CP ATHLETE

Over the past 2 years Nicole has spent time with TEAM CP training towards her goal of a half IRONMAN. And hit her goal she did!

Nicole competed at SUFFEREST in December, crossing the finish line as the first female and then backing that up with her big goal of Half IRONMAN, which she completed this year at IRONMAORI – 2nd in her age group and 6th overall. So good. Congratulations on your achievements Nicole.

Nicole says over the last 2 years with Team CP, coached by James and Fiona, she has learnt so much about herself and triathlons, which has been invaluable. James & Fiona helped her achieve her goals while recovering from RED-S, which Nicole says she would not have been able to overcome without them.

At TEAM CP we love celebrating alongside you, championing you in your journey and seeing you reach your goals.

You put the TEAM into TEAM CP.

FIONA STECHMANN

– CP COACH

CP Coach, Fiona, headed for the hills for her first run for the new SALOMON PULSAR TRAIL SHOES.

VERDICT : They were awesome. Super comfy straight out of the box. And felt great for the whole run which is unusual for me with new shoes.

If you are on the look out for a new set of trail shoes, head in to see Oska and the team at THE FRONTRUNNER, COLOMBO.

Mention you are with TEAM CP for some super special service and a discount.

They can look after all your SALOMON needs…
