What a world we are living in right now! You have all been receiving regular communication and updates, via emails and on our social media channels, in regards to our response to the increase in COVID-19 cases in Victoria. As you are aware, the situation is evolving regularly and rapidly and we will continue to be open and prompt with our updates and communications, particularly in regards to any changes to sessions.
In uncertain times like these, we must remain positive and strong together (but 1.5metres apart) and maintain a sense of normalcy and routine wherever, and however, possible. Which means, we can’t miss the newsletter! Apologies for the slight delay this week but we have put together a great issue with lots of things to think about and focus on in this period of social distancing and isolation.
It is incredibly disappointing to have races cancelled and the season plucked out from under your feet but with every negative comes many positives. We now have the opportunity to REST and RECOVER, and the best athletes know exactly how important this is! At the same time as this, we have extra time to PLAN our GOALS and what we want to work on. We then get opportunity to work on our TECHNIQUE and STRENGTH so that when the madness is over and races return to the calendar we are stronger, more efficient and ultimately, faster than we have ever been before!
Not to mention how much you will appreciate the opportunity to train and race again! The choice is yours, things will look a bit different to how they have before, but you can choose for it to be dream over, or choose to make the most of a difficult situation, and choose to use this challenging time as fuel for the fire.
So with a bit of extra time for reading, we have put together some of our favourite articles and info for you to make sure you know how to look after yourself from a triathlete’s perspective. We hope this is a welcome distraction from the social media vortex it is too easy to get stuck in at times like this, read on and stay well!
