Crazy /'kreɪzi/ 1. mad? 2. foolish? 3. or extremely enthusiastic? Maybe it's just a mix of all of them! But one thing's for sure...there's nothing better than turning up for a session, with mixed feelings and in somewhat trying conditions and realizing you are joined by a bunch of pretty cool and inspiring people. It's much easier when you surround yourself with your kind of crazy, who you know will be there to support your journey....enter the TA family. And this crazy tribe above (also including Trea & Gaz who were trying to keep warm and couldn't stand still long enough for the photo), braved the elements on Saturday morning (and not the good bits....oh no, these were the bits when it was cold and dark and wet.....and NOT the parts when the sun came out and it was fine and all was well in the world!), to get the job done. These guys and gals have big goals in the pipelines and they will stop at nothing to do what needs to be done. Kudos to them and kudos to anyone who was flexible, thought outside the box, found alternatives and didn't let excuses get in their way this weekend. This also included our duathletes who race down at Yarra Boulevard and a lucky someone who escaped the wintery weather to run City 2 Surf in the sunshine! So, with all these cold winds and icy starts to the mornings, now is simply the time to get your TA Hoody. We are taking pre-orders now and need to sell another 10 to start production. If you are thinking of getting one, we are really encouraging you to process your order so we can get these here ASAP. They are all being made locally so the lead time is next to nothing…once we reach the magic number! We’d love to see these out and about as soon as possible, so let’s have a big push to get those orders in now. Don’t forget we have our second Team Meeting for the season happening this Thursday night. That’s right, down at Elwood Sailing Club again to hear all about where we are at in the season, the plan ahead, the latest on the Coaching Mate software (VERY EXCITING), and the opportunity to catch up with your favourite coach or training buddy! And if all that wasn’t enough, we have our great friends from MIZUNO coming along at 6pm with their latest and fanciest shoe range for us to try during our run session. What more could you want? Don’t be late. We’ll set up from 5:45pm so you can grab a pair of shoes and then be off and running (literally!) at 6pm. And while you’ve got the diary out, let’s pencil in that all morning sessions will start at 5:45am from now on, the weekend ride is back out to the Nongs, MSAC’s 21st bday is in a couple of weeks, and let’s not forget our Chick’s Bike Maintenance night happening next Wednesday at Giant South Yarra. Make sure you book in for that one as spaces are limited! If you think that’s all, then you’re wrong….there’s still loads more included in this edition and yet again some other goodness I’ve had to hold over until next week, with fear of you all drowning in information!
So, no time like the present… R…E…A…D O…N…! |
