RAMPING UP

Can anyone else feel the energy in the air, as race season is almost upon us?!? Noosa, Challenge Shepparton, Ironman WA, 2XU Series...it's all coming and will be here before we know it! So keep consistent, now is a really important time to be hitting sessions, recovering well and taking on advice from coaches. Talk, listen, follow...it's that simple!
Massive shout out to Monty and Chloe who were chosen as part of the team to represent Australia at the 2018 INAS World Half Marathon Championships in Coimbra, Portugal over the weekend. They both did a phenomenal job and we're super happy for them. If you see Chloe around, you may want to refer to her as World Champ!!! Read all the details in the Weekend Round Up.
Sessions this week have taken a slight change, with the Australian Short Course Swimming Championships being held at MSAC. So Wednesday and Friday morning sessions have been relocated to Elwood Beach. Great opportunity to get in some extra open water swimming practice! Bring fins, paddles and of course wetties. Strength and endurance sets are on the menu, with race-specific work being completed Thursday night and Saturday morning. On swim sessions, get out your diaries to note that Monday 5th November will be cancelled. Majority of coaches are up in Noosa (racing and supporting) and many others are out of town for a long weekend. Tuesday wt will also not run as it is a public holiday. Back to normal after that!
In case you missed the exciting news, make sure you get across the details from our newest partner - GARMIN - these deals are too good to miss out on!
In TriShop news, our latest tri-suits have landed and are in stock. Make sure you get on to these to ensure you are repping the blue and yellow come race day. And we're now taking orders for new cycling jerseys. See details below and get your locked away.

2XU TRIATHLON SERIES

Tri Club Championship

Each year, the 2XU Series runs an Individual Series Championship alongside their events. Points can be scored by finishing top 10 in the Sprint (races 1–5), and the Olympic Distance in Race 6, in Elite, Junior Elite, Age Group & Clydesdale/Athena categories. To win your category you must have competed in a minimum of three championship races.
There is also a CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP, whereby ALL athletes can earn points for our squad. One point is allocated to each squad member competing and those who finish within the top five of their category will also be awarded additional points.The best 15 competitor’s club points are summed to calculate the club’s point score for a particular race. Last year we finished a very close 3rd!!! To ensure our athletes are earning points for Tri Alliance, we need to make sure you select our Tri Club when entering any of the events below. Make sure you use "TRI-ALLIANCE" when entering.

ELLIPTIGO EXPERIENCES

Taking TA Athletes For Fun Sessions

You may have noticed a super-cool, stand up bike that has been joining our wind training sessions lately.. It’s called the ElliptiGO! Both an indoor and outdoor bike, the ElliptiGO combines the best of running, cycling and the elliptical trainer to give you a fun and effective tool for outdoor training sessions.
Stand Up cycling is a low-impact exercise that builds cardiovascular fitness, while being easy on the joints, which makes it great for everyone.

Now.. how can you experience it? We’ve partnered with the ElliptiGO Experiences team, Lexi and Monika Alston, who will be running morning Fun Training sessions exclusively for the TA family.

Calling on Vollies

Thank you to everyone who has hung around, said 'hi' or lended a helping hand to one or more of our newer athletes. We can't tell you how far this kindness goes into making our members feel welcomed, supported and part of the Tri Alliance family. And we've still got plenty of more big sessions to come, with lots of new faces. So we're calling on some volunteers to help us out over the next few weeks, particularly as the squad spreads out to Noosa and Shepparton. Coaches are also traveling for racing and supporting duties, so we need some friendly faces to assist the Elwood combo session back home. If you are free during the following times/dates and are interested in helping out, can you please shoot Bondy a message and she'll be in touch with more info.

I'M HAPPY TO HELP

ELWOOD LIFE SAVING CLUB

It's Time to Sign

We have had a great partnership with Elwood Life Saving Club for many years and we truly believe in supporting the amazing work they do. That's why we're encouraging all our members to get behind the club and sign up as a member for the 2018/19 season. Not only will this support our community, it will also provide you with the opportunity to be eligible for a foreshore parking pass (will save you loads in parking fees...or fines when you get done for forgetting!). So,

Membership fees for the 2018/19 season will remain the same. We ask that all members renew by 30 September 2018 so that you can continue to enjoy the activities provided by the Club.

We also ask that all members aged 18 and over ensure that you have a current Working with Children Check, which has Elwood LSC and Life Saving Victoria listed as organisations. We will not be able to process your renewals without this due to changes that occurred under the Child Protection legislation last year.
