Well, it's been a trying couple of weeks to say the least.  As most of you are aware, we have been wrestling with the dark side of the world wide web in a bid to get our site and systems back up to speed, after some $#%! decided it would be a right old laugh to destroy everything we work so hard for.  Good one twat!  Don’t you know we’ll always come out swinging!  So, on that note, with some help from some very savvy IT friends, our developers and using a little magic of our own, we’re super excited to be up and running once again and bringing you your favourite reading material for the week. C’mon…admit it!  Who’s been missing us?!?!?  

Now my aim this week was to keep it brief, but there is just SO much happening that I’m afraid that might be a hard task.  Let me give you a snapshot of what's been going on:

• Last local sprint race of the season this weekend (halleluiah)
• Big A race for some of our Long Course athletes at Challenge Melbourne
• End of Season party tickets go on sale now!
• Weekend training session - get the update
• Winter planning - what will sessions look like? 
• Camps - #GainTheEdge
• Merry May - replacing Fat April this year
• Ambassadors Antics – 2 part special!
• Long course athletes ramp up to Ironman races
• Australian qualifiers - prelim at this stage, but Woo Hoo
• State Series athletes vying for points
• 2XU results and Series winners

Now whilst I can't go in to details with all the above, I will do over the coming weeks....so consider this a teaser!

Without any further delays…. get your cuppa (uggs and rugs may also be required) and get on with it to be up-to-date with all the latest TA happenings.  Read on!

O...M....G!!!!!  The time has arrived.  I am super excited to get frocked up, put on the dancing shoes and celebrate the 2017/2018 season in style with the TA Family.  It's now time to get your tickets to one of the best nights!  New venue, fancy theme and food to die for!  Seriously, there are limited tickets this year, so if you do not get in quick, you will miss out.

One of the best things to do over winter is to get strong!  And one of the best ways to do it is with an intensive hit-out at one of our camps!  You get to surround yourself with like-minded people, live and train like a pro and forget about all the other worries of the world while you eat, sleep, train, repeat!  We've got 2 camps coming up - Lorne Camp on the Queen's Birthday long weekend and Thanyapura Thailand Camp at the end of July.  More information to come, but time to start thinking about how you'll make gains this winter and #GainTheEdge
