Sarah Pitcher-Campbell
RAT IN A TRAP
We’re playing ’20 questions’ with our members…!
-
Name? Sarah Pitcher-Campbell - Age Group? 30-35
- Profession? Regional Forestry Adviser (government employee) – does that sound important?
- Favourite Cheese? Cumin gouda
- Why do you do Triathlon/Multisport? Mostly I just really enjoy being outdoors and I’m not that good at team events, and its fun (well apart from starring at that little black line at the bottom of the pool) and challenging.
- What is your most favourite event? Don’t really have a favourite but have a feeling it might be the Challenge Wanaka half ironman early next year.
- What bike (bikes) do you ride and what would you REALLY like to ride? Well I have this fantastic Avanti Giro fully kitted out with all the race spec bells and whistles – NOT, but its treated me well (a part from a broken collar bone when the b*t#h threw me off). Going to upgrade to something flash soon. MTB wise I have a GT I-Drive fully and have just converted my old Avanti Barrucuda into a single speed.
- Out of the different disciplines, which is your most favourite and which one is the least favourite? I suppose swimming would be my least favourite, although it’s not that bad and running would probably be my most favourite (even tho I sux at it!).
- Are you coached or do you make up your own regime of punishment? Coached by none other than Mr Paul Westwood.
- Who is an athlete you admire? Not so much admire, rather drool over – Any cyclist with good legs!! Why else would you want to watch the Tour of France.
- Training, work, family – how do you fit it all in? Well I do work for the government…. and have no children or partner to slow me down. Kat should we start up a spinter’s division of the club?? (Editors comment…hell yes…)
- How long have you been a RAT and what do you like about the club? coming up two years and the club is great.
- On a sunny day, what do you prefer – MTB or road bike? Road, as you can have a good MTB ride in the rain.
-
How many ACC claims due to sport injuries? 3 - Most favourite riding loop (MTB or Road)? Road – Gisborne up to Hangaroa and back – goes up the gentle annie hill with stunning views on the way down! MTB – Something with Billy T, Corners, Dragons tail
- Most favourite run loop? Anything in the forest
- What would you do with all your spare time and money if you wouldn’t train and race and spend all of your and your wife/husband/partner/families money on sports gear you really badly need? Travel (both around NZ and overseas) and really get stuck in on the house renovations – one day I will finish painting. It’s really hard to get motivated to climb up and down ladders after a long cycle ride.
- What event would you really like to do one day? Aiming for IRONMAN NZ in 2010. Beyond that, who knows?
- Do you think swimming should be turned into an optional discipline in triathlon? Nah
- Any suggestions for the club? Hmmmmmm not really.
