March Recap

Written By Kim Manunui

March started off with racing at the Track Cycling National Champs. I competed in four events and medalled in each one. But the standout? That had to be the Individual Pursuit. I smashed my own PB from the 2022 Commonwealth Games, clocking in at 3 minutes and 17.8 seconds. I also claimed the national record and became the 2nd fastest pursuiter in the world!

Then, it was off to Hong Kong for the second Track Cycling Nations Cup. One of my teammates got sidelined with an injury, so I got the opportunity to race the Omnium event. We claimed gold in the Team Pursuit, despite one of our team mates struggling with food poisoning just days before. In the Madison event, my team mate Emily and I secured silver, missing out on gold by one point.

In the Omnium I won the Tempo Race, and scored second in the Elimination Race. But my poor result in the Scratch Race made it difficult for me to move up into a medal position in the Points Race, landing me in seventh.

I am now back home in New Zealand until mid-June, focusing on building up my endurance and strength. It's a nice change of pace after a busy 3 months and a change of scenery mostly training on the road before diving back into track as we get closer to the Olympic Games!

Hi, I’m Kim and I work with a great team to help individuals, as well as small and not so small businesses get their message, product and services to the world using digital media and creating wonderful websites that don’t cost the earth.

I was born in Canada, and grew up around Vancouver and the mountains of British Columbia. My love of pristine environments led me to New Zealand and eventually to the mountains, lakes and rivers of the central North Island which is home. My family’s heritage is here, and it’s from here that Korio traverses the planet.

The digital world is never static and neither are we.

And I say ‘we’ because I work with an awesome group of talented people who I gather together as required to complete a project.  Whatever your business, not-for-profit or individual needs are we gather the best team to get the job done.

Collaboratively we are creative, share sustainable values and work hard for great outcomes because that’s the buzz of satisfaction that drives us.

If you have an audience and market to reach, we can make that happen. Creative design, words that work and smart behind the scenes stuff that cuts through the online noise. We’ll design your website and then build it. We’ll manage the content as well as all your hosting needs. We can handle your online advertising so you get noticed,
and we’ll manage your social media presence so you get the clicks, likes and engagement to grow your business. All within the budget you set, because none of this needs to cost the earth.  And the job doesn’t stop when your website goes live. We are your virtual business partner.
