Annnnndddd we're not done yet! We are well into the build cycle, with one down and one to go, and the squad is S.T.R.O.N.G! And I don’t mean only physically. But the closeness, the camaraderie, the culture of Tri Alliance is as BIG as it has EVER been. Reflecting on recent times, we can honestly say we are so proud of the way our family bands together, the respectful relationships (equal parts supportive and competitive) we all have, and the fact that you know you can count on one another to have each other's backs when it really matters. Remember Team, we rise by lifting others. Today. And every day. So, don't stop what you're doing. It's amazing and it's an incredible family to be part of right now! This week, we are sending out a whole lotta healing vibes in Jimmy Tyler’s direction. As you may have heard, our resident late-but-lovable-larrikin had a little spill from his bike over the weekend. In his own words, “while descending a steep hill at King Lake, this poor bike suffered a front puncture, and despite a gallant battle, eventually bucked its rider with some gusto”. Jimmy will be out of action for a little while, but no doubt enjoying all the sympathy, care packages (aka boxes of donuts) and some quality time with his wife, watching the impending renovations impatiently sitting idle. In all seriousness, rest up Jimmy. We are all wishing you the speediest of recoveries and a pain free rehab journey ahead. Our Weekend Wrap Up this week highlights the loved-up Jurt (Jacinta & Kurt) gallivanting through the French countryside, following and riding the Tour de France, an awesome hit out in the XCR and an Instagram post of the week from an old friend. We’ve decided to keep our focus of Pool Etiquette in the spotlight again this week, as we hate to admit, but someone (or someones) maybe didn’t have time to read the Do's and Do Not's when swimming with a squad…..eeek! So take another week to have a look over. As we said, some of these are probably a given and some are common courtesy and some are just the nuances of swimming with others in a limited space. Out of respect for your fellow athletes, have a read over and be in the know the next time you are in the water. The S&C sessions are going from strength to strength (yes….all puns intended) in the new Athletic Performance Centre at MSAC. New link up and bookings are open. This week’s session will have a slightly different format, moving to giving you not only a great strength workout, but one you will be able to replicate at home (specific sets, reps, exercises). More details from coaches below. We’ve also got a NEW meet the TA family by the Ambassadors, the Ask-The-TA-Tribe for advice post, Eddy’s movie pick of the week, some save the dates to pencil in your diary, a competition from our friends at Mizuno and the all-important deets for the weekend training sessions. Oh….and without any jealousy at all (yeah right!) ……we wish all our athletes heading over to Thanyapura an awesome time. It’s incredible and we know they’re going to love it (and kick butt), but….we’re staying here….so yeah….enjoy ? Time to R.E.A.D..O.N positive peeps! |
