In case you missed it, we’ve hit Recovery Week Team! Although we’re sure we don’t have to tell you that. Majority of you know the drill by now; Build Week 1 (work!), Build Week 2 (keep working!) and Recovery Week (rest and reap the rewards!). So, this week we’ve included a little article about best recovery practices – great reminder and if you’re anything like us, we’ve realised we’ve been napping all wrong!

And recovery week is the perfect time to be thinking about body maintenance…enter Lakeside Sports Med. We’ve put them in the spotlight this week to highlight the benefits this team can provide to our team. With a partnership spanning over 10 years, there’s no one we trust more than Khanh, Simon and the team down at Lakeside. What’s even better is they get us…yes, the crazy triathletes that want to keep training, the ones who can’t bear to miss a session, the ones who obsess over niggles and the ones who need constant maintenance and reassurance as race day looms…. yes, US! They are there to work towards your goals and will liaise closely with Ollie to ensure loads, programs, expectations, deadlines (you name it), are managed collaboratively. But we get that sometimes it can be tricky to know who’s who, when they’re working or to get an appointment. We’ve sorted it! By putting together a page outlining the whole team (pics included!!!), when they work and have included a direct link to the Practice Manager, Tayla who will help TA athletes find just the ‘right’ time (or squeeze one in!). Can’t stress how important this one is, so take some time to have a read.

Now, flash back to last week...fresh off the back of race #3. I bet you've all been waiting for the RECAP OF THE SEASON - Steph v Gaz! Well, here it is and it does not disappoint. Let's delve into the minds of these two, before, during and after the battle!
And apologies from me - I forgot 2 very important members off our results list from last week (#brainfade)! Jen & Doug both raced really well in the Fun Tri race finished 6th and 7th respectively in the 50+ category. Jen even had the fastest bike split in her AG!!!
