STARTING THE YEAR ON A HIGH

First triathlon event for 2019 and boy was it a good one!  Great weather; not too windy, not too hot, not raining (!), meant that athletes could just focus on putting their plans into action and getting the job done.  And St Kilda had something for everyone – Fun Tri, Sprint and Olympic distances, Aquabike and the Kids race!  We had a whopping 78 athletes racing across the day, with some of our best results to date.  There were PBs a plenty, new distances conquered, boxes ticked, and First-Time finish lines feels!  No shortage of the Yellow and Blue Army, both on and off the course, repping the team colours, cheering, supporting and lending a hand to the Kid-letes throughout the morning #TAFamily #SmilesForMiles

Once again we are blown away with the amazingness of our athletes.

Sidelined: Reduce Stress to Avoid Injury

"You probably know that proper nutrition and hydration, as well as strength and conditioning all play important roles in injury prevention—but there is a significant factor that often gets left out of the injury conversation: stress. Injury prevention studies show that if you are experiencing high levels of negative life stress or have strong stress responsivity (which basically means you get stressed-out easily), then you’re at an increased risk of sustaining an injury."
(By Carrie Cheadle for Training Peaks)
