Stay up to date with all the latest news, hear from athletes, find weekly specials and get the lowdown on all important weekend sessions READ ONLINE [8] [winter-ride-2] We had a feeling this was coming and held off on sending out this week’s edition until we had more information to share.  Unfortunately, it’s what we had hoped would not happen and so the time has come…but here we are. One last session ticked off tonight at The Tan, before switching into what has now become an all too familiar routine of online training.  Good news is that you are all seasoned veterans at it now and can easily transition between the two modes. So, beginning tomorrow morning we start with dryland swimming and hope to be back in the pool by next Wednesday (insert crossed fingers and toes!!!). I’ve kept it short to only include what you need to know between now and next Tuesday night.  As I anticipate needing to send further communication early next week, as we learn more about the impact of the snap lockdown. But let's not drop the ball, or our heads.  All this does not mean we simply throw our hands in the air and give up….give in.  Absolutely not.  There is so much that can still be done and so much that, as athletes, you can work on to give you the best base to continue building.  If you choose to give in at the drop of hat, where does that leave you come race day…or heaven forbid, in the middle of a race when the going gets tough? ~ _Control the controllables_ _Work on your weaknesses_ _Focus on a strong foundation_ _Train your mind_ _Be kind to yourself_ _~ __ _ We will wait for further advice about what will happen next week and will be in touch when we know more.  For now…keep well, keep training, keep connected.

GUIDE TO UTILIZING COACHINGMATE [9] WEEKEND RIDING [Online Wind Trainer Session] Saturday Virtual Riding It’s important to keep routines going and stay connected, so this Saturday morning we're riding… VIRTUALLY!

When it’s time for the ride, log in before it’s scheduled to start. You can’t join late, so make sure to be on time! Zwift will notify you a few minutes before the ride is going to begin, then take you to the starting point to wait with your friends. When the countdown hits zero, the ride has started. TO GET INVOLVED IN ZOOM SESSIONS: * Check to see if there is a link in your CoachingMate program (they will be going in tonight) * If you don’t have a program, please email [email protected] for the link.
