Didn’t the weather turn it on for the weekend, which was a welcome relief for those wanting to get out and about and treat themselves (and their bikes) to a bit of TLC. Great to see and hear our athletes respecting the safe hygiene practices and looking out for each other. Keep it up team and above all else, stay well!
If you have a bit of extra time at the moment (and let’s face it – who doesn’t?), then it's never been a better time to get to know your bike. Whether you're fixing your first flat, need bike storage ideas (read: make space for more bikes!) or tips for riding in the rain...Liv's bike maintenance and repair guides (see below) have you covered.
We’re excited to be bringing back the group run sessions this week, for those looking to join others in pounding the pavement. Although, I have to say we’re not so excited about that forecast! Can you believe yet another Thursday night with less than ideal conditions….WTH is with that? Remember that we will strictly abide by all government restrictions and sessions will be limited to 10 participants, so read details below about bookings. There are two separate locations on Thursday night - make sure you read the timetable for exact details. And if group sessions are not for you, yet…you can still Go Virtual during the session times and link up with the coaches. 6.15pm for Thursday nights and 8am on Sunday mornings.
We've had so much fun getting to know the TA Family, and with our little enforced 'break' from each other, now is the perfect time to remind us all how amazing our athletes are! It is most fitting this week to get to know one of our current Ambassadors, Andrea.
And with heavy hearts, we learnt about the passing of a former TA athlete and current MPTC athlete, Carly Marsh. Many of you will have known Carly who was part of our Try the Tri program early in her triathlon journey and was later joined on the start line by her mother, Danielle. Carly’s friendly nature and committed approach to getting it just right (particularly when working with determination in the open water) was well-known around the squad. Our thoughts are with Carly’s family and friends and also Mornington Peninsula Triathlon Club, who have lost someone very dear to them.
And finally, a quick shoutout to The General for running a great Goal Setting session last week. We have no doubt the over 30 athletes who attended all took away some great insights, tips and homework to put them on the path to success. The video will be available shortly to watch the replay. Just let us know you’d like a copy and will send it out when it’s ready.
