That concludes our latte rides! A great turn out and nice sunny weather to finish Recovery Month. We even popped in to the TA HQ to say hello. Congratulations to our newcomers on their first official TA ride! 

Did you have a good time during your recovery month? As we finish recovery month and enter the May technique block, the timetable begins to look and feel a little different. We change up our locations and focus on correct technique and building strength. This could be a nice change of pace for those looking to get back into it. We also send off our Port Mac crew, and our Cairns, Candaman and IM Frankfurt athletes begin to ramp up their training. You may recall us writing about this in our March newsletter, but in case you forgot (don't worry, neither did the NLL), let us give you an overview of what's going on for our next phase below.

For those who don't have any races coming up (or is too far in the future), we have a few things for you to look forward to... Our annual Winter Training Camp and annual Thanyapura Triathlon Training Camp!! 

A key date in our timeline is the King's Birthday (formerly Queen's birthday) long weekend. This is when we traditionally hold our Winter Training Camp and when we build on from base & technique training, to add endurance to our technique.  So, you will see changes from now up until then, including: 

• No Tuesday or Thursday morning sessions continue until mid-June.
• Thursday night run sessions move to the Tan & Essendon for or winter run sessions.
• Saturday riding will be endurance rides (meeting at Elwood) for May and onto hills after King's Bday (mid June).
• Sunday long runs move to trail running at Fairfield. 
• Friday swim is for intermediate/ advanced swimmers.  This is really important.  To nurture athletes correctly and to avoid burnout early in the first phase of the program, it's important that athletes follow the Head Coach's program.

IT'S RACE WEEK!
Best wishes to our three athletes competing in IRONMAN Australia/ 70.3 Port Macquarie!! We understand that training can be difficult at this time of year, but we've seen how hard you've all been training and can't wait to see all of your hard work put into action! See athlete list below. 

And finally, all the Long Course programs have been updated and uploaded for the new phase.  Short Course programs will be uploaded by the end of day Monday 1st May.
