No later than 10:20 it was already time for the first event, javelin throw where Bente managed to throw the javelin to 25,46 meters and Lianne to 31,06 meters. Shortly after, it was time for the sprinters to …
Yesterday NSK teams took place in the beautiful FBK stadium in Hengelo. We departed from Eindhoven in the SSC vans and a couple of cars, in which (to prevent Corona from spreading in the cramped car space) we all had to take and wear face masks. Thanks to Harry we departed extremely on time, arriving in the FBK stadium way …

Due to corona, instead of our usual foreign training week, we went camping in a small village in the south of the Netherlands: Epen.

Thursday July 2nd, the activity committee organized our annual Asterix City activity, corona-proof this year! We all had to gather around the Klokgebouw in Strijp-S with a bag, a raincoat and a good bike (preferably not a student bike that keeps falling apart every km). Small groups were formed and left one-by-one with some snacks and a clue for a …
After the Corona solo 5k and 10k, today it was time for CoronaSolo3k! It was a hot and humid day with a considerable amount of wind: not optimal racing conditions. Daan was clever and started on his 3k loop before 9am, avoiding the heat of the day. He had a fast start (first km in 3:20 min), but his loop …
With a lot of rain, some illness, a lot of wind (not always bad hehe), some hills in the southernmost of the Netherlands (also not always bad), we ran a total of 300 km this weekend. Despite not being together, we managed to form a strong team and ran fast times. Some interesting facts and figures of this race: ‘Team …

Last Saturday, the CoronaSolo5k took place, this was a virtual race in which each participant had to run a 5k loop alone, with the start and finish at the same location. A couple of Gauls participated (Domingos all …
The Bellefleur cake party was a success! The newest members had to make a pie and all Asterix members were invited to come and eat their bellies full with all these delicious homemade cakes and pies. The Brownie cake with red fruit from Maaike was the real eye-catcher of the evening, as you can see on the pictures. Bente made …
With the winds picking up again we once again braced ourselves for yet another storm. And with this in mind we decided to play it safe and do some racing indoors! At 8:30 (maybe a couple of minutes later, ahem) the van and a couple of cars departed from Eindhoven to the indoor track in Apeldoorn. The reason for this early …
