WEEKLY TRANSITION 23rd JANUARY 2019 – SWIM, BIKE, RUN, READ
It's the exciting, charming and compelling weekly read that everyone waits for! Stay up to date - get all the latest news, hear the athlete blogs, find weekly specials from our great sites and get the lowdown on all important weekend sessions
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 know; 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 someone needs to inform the Edbassador that 3 hours is not considered a nap…that’s sleep!
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.
It’s also time this week for Stephbassador to send her outgoing message to the masses as she steps down as TA Ambassador (but we all know that nothing will change, right – she’s still the same old Steph!). We’ve got deals from Orca and Garmin, the 2XU race entry process, and how could we forget…the Weekend Wrap up, which saw an enthusiastic bunch (except Gary…has anyone seen Gaz enthusiastic about anything!?!) head down to Portsea to take on the iconic Portsea Classic, we had 2 athletes head down south to Tassie to race at Seven Mile Beach and a cheeky Instagram Post of the Week from Primal Spirit!
Quick housekeeping before we go:
New programs are up next week
All memberships are managed independently through your TA Dashboard (including payment days)
Monday 28th January = public holiday (no MSAC)
4 lanes at Mon & Wed swim squad for February
Race #4 @ Elwood is looming!
~ Ask yourself this question: 'Will this matter a year from now?' ~
"It was an absolute honour to be TA ambassador with Eddy for the past year. Our time has come to an end but we couldn’t leave without saying a few (more!!) words..."
Tri-Alliance have been working with Lakeside Sports Medicine Centre for well over 10 years now, and there's no one we trust more with our athlete care than these guys and girls. They regularly treat a range of conditions from acute sporting injuries to chronic pain symptoms as well as assisting athletes with rehabilitation and aim to provide a complete care plan, tailored to suit the individual. Best of all, Lakeside liaise closely with coaches at Tri-Alliance, to ensure all parties are informed, are aware of both program requirements and everyone can work towards the same goal.
Tr-Alliance athletes receive a 10% discount on presentation of their ID card and can speak directly with Practice Manager Tayla if there's any trouble getting appointments ([email protected])
Lakeside is open from 7am until 8pm Monday - Friday and 8am - 1pm on Saturdays. Follow the link to find exact times for each practitioner.
Now, time to find out a little more about the team behind the team!
The Best Recovery Practices For Endurance Athletes
" You know that sensation, when you have bottomless power, breathing is deep, and pushing hard feels so good? When you are strong, motivated, and invincible. These are the days when you slay your training and smash your race goals.
The secret to these training days and hitting race day in peak form is nailing your recovery. Two recovery practices are foundational and must-not be missed"
