Two weeks down, four to go (hopefully)! How's your virtual training going? 
Don't forget that you are not alone and it is more important than ever to keep moving for both your physical and mental health, not to mention keeping connected and motivated with your tri buddies!

As you have seen, we have a few different faces across the week running our sessions now and we hope you are enjoying this change of scenery! The content of these sessions may at times be complimentary to what appears in your program, so you really don't want to miss out on being online at the session. 

Our Go Virtual timetable is up and running, access sessions via the Go Virtual link in your program! And the best bit of our sessions? No need to wear a mask inside your home!

If you are still heading out on the road for a ride, please make yourself familiar with the DHHS guidelines. A summary has been provided by Cycling Victoria which you can read via the link below. 

This event, although traumatic and incredibly scary at the time, changed my life for the better and I still draw on it today when things get tough and I hope it can do the same for you. So grab a cup of tea and let me share a story of near tragedy, hope, owning your mistakes and never ever giving up.

Do you ever struggle with your running? Feel sluggish or slow? Does it feel like you're the only one that feels like that? It's completely normal to feel like this, everyone feels like that at one point or another...even the pros! TA family member, Jake, has shared a podcast with us. Melbourne-based runners chat honestly and openly about running. Their runs are on another level compared to most of us (think 3min kms and 15km recovery runs!) but we do hope that hearing that even the best have bad days might be an inspiring listen for everyone! 

Grab a drink, some snacks and get ready to test your knowledge for a night of trivia with your TA family! 
Trivia is this Friday 24 July, log on to Zoom via the link below at 5.30pm ready to kick off the trivia at 5.45pm. 

If entering lockdown 2.0 and the cancellation of many races has left you feeling a little deflated, demotivated or just unsure how to refocus your training, take the opportunity to reach out to a coach to discuss your goals and training purpose. Head Coach Ollie is available for 20 minute Zoom catch ups, these can be booked using the link below. 

• Walk or run the planets (if it’s not too far from your home!)
• Board games
• Puzzles
• Virtual tours of museums, galleries etc.
• Have a picnic in your lounge room or on your balcony!
• Find a local spot to watch the sunrise or sunset
• Recreate your favourite café brunch
• Make sourdough (there’s a few TA starters around if anyone needs some!)
• Beer or wine tasting with your partner/house mate/virtually with friends
• Watch a movie or tv series (when do we ever normally have time to watch TV?!)

It’s important to keep routines going and stay connected, so Saturday mornings we ride… VIRTUALLY!
