TeamCPNZ Connect – Ep 32 – KAREN – CPNZ Media Live

FOR EPISODE 32 we talk to Karen Hill, a top-end Cross Country Rider who over the weekend completed her debut ultra run in Tasmania. 

We had a solid 8 weeks available following her last XCO race in Hobart to turn those riding legs into running legs.  As someone that knows how to train, listen to her body and push herself she did awesome job of preparing. 

Any ultra endurance event is effectively a nutritionathon which is another thing that Karen has in her favour.  She is also a Nutritionalist and worked alongside the event to help others dial in their nutrition strategy for the event. 

We talk to Karen about her  preparation and how she felt as she crossed that finish line. 

And for those cyclists out there before you click next we will also have a yarn about her Christmas holiday trip where her and her partner completed a full lap of Tasmania by bike 1200km in 7 days

TeamCPNZ Connect – Ep 29 – Nat – CPNZ Media Live

Welcome to the Team CPNZ Quick Connect Podcast where you can stay informed, keep connected and learn from each other. This episode we have the pleasure to chat to Nat Gallant.

Nat is a physio based in Blenhiem and is part of our Performance Network a trusted group of providers that we refer our athletes to. She wears her superhero cape in her day job to keep athletes in one piece and moving forward but it also must be said that she often wears it in the weekend while out adventuring in the hills.

She travelled to China with myself and the crew last September, in February she teamed up with Jake Vargo to win the Tandem team Coast to Coast and last weekend she completed “The Hillary” which basically meant that after work on Friday she got on her bike in Blenheim and rode south to the Kaikoura ranges, climbed Mt Tapu o nauka then rode her bike home again on Sunday to be ready for work on Monday – Solo.

HOLLY JOINED US FOR CP SQUAD 2024

WILL YOU?

Holly Gibson joined us in 2024 with much trepidation and anxiousness and ended up having the best experience AND is back with us for 2025, we are so excited.

Holly’s Reflection on Her Time with Adventure Squad

We’re so grateful to share this message from Holly, who was part of our Winter Adventure Squad last year. Her words truly reflect the impact of what pushing boundaries and stepping outside your comfort zone can have:

“I wanted to send an enormous thank you for allowing me to be part of the Winter Adventure Squad. It’s honestly hard to put into words just how much of an impact this experience has had on my confidence.

Before I started, I would turn back at the sight of scree, had never ventured past the hut at Bealey Spur, and couldn’t even imagine myself walking over ridgelines due to my vertigo and fear of falling. I had only run once with wet shoes at Bottle Lake, never crossed a river, and certainly never went rock hopping. Thanks to the last mission, I can proudly say I’ve done it 44 times! 😂

But perhaps the most life-changing moment came just yesterday. For the first time in my life, I stood on a stage in Auckland and delivered a 40-minute presentation to a room full of professionals. As I thought back to my adventures with the squad, I realized that if I could learn to enjoy running down scree, sliding down rocks, and traversing steep ridgelines, I could conquer this challenge too.

I know you’ve probably heard this a million times before, but it’s worth repeating: This experience has truly made me a stronger, happier person. These adventures are so much more than just a fun day out – they are life-changing.

A huge thank you to Fiona, Matt, and Richard for making me feel safe enough to try new things and good enough to take part in every challenge. Your support means the world to me.

Ēhara tāku toa i te toa takatahi, engari he toa takitini.
(Our strength is not made from us alone, but made from many.)”

      – Holly Gibson

Holly joined Richard on our CP Community Connect Podcast not long after we completed our 2024 missions, check it out to ind out about her experience, what she has taken from our group adventures and how these learnings have transferred into other aspects of her life.

APPLICATIONS OPEN – JOIN US!

TeamCPNZ Connect – Ep 26 – Alice Buchanan– CPNZ Media Live

Alice Buchanan completed the True West Adventure Race last weekend along with Team Mates – Steven Muff, Andrew Davidson, and Husband, Liam Buchanan.

We talk to Alice about her build-up and what a broken hand and a rehabbing Hamstring meant to get to the start line and if they achieved their goal of still being friends on the finish line after pretty gnarly adventure in South Westland.
