Now, as we dive headfirst into Build Week 2, it's time to channel that inner warrior and unleash your potential.

Race weekend is on the horizon, and it's time to kick our preparations into high gear! Make sure your gear is dialled in, your nutrition is on point, and those race day logistics are locked down tighter than your fastest transition time. Whether you're a seasoned pro or gearing up for your first race, now's the time to double-check those checklists and ensure nothing is left to chance. And hey, let's show up in full force sporting our squad colours loud and proud! Let's paint the course with a sea of yellow and blue.

If you're still patiently tapping your toes, anxiously awaiting the arrival of your welcome pack, fear not! We're here to ensure you're decked out in style for race day and beyond. But to make sure we've got all your details squared away, it's time to take action. Simply fill out the handy form waiting for you below. Once you've done that, consider it mission accomplished! Our squad elves will work their magic.

Let’s talk about a game-changer in the battle against inflammation: PILLAR Ultra Omega. As athletes, we know that inflammation comes with the territory, but managing it effectively can be a game-changer for our performance and recovery. That's where Ultra Omega steps in. This premium fish oil formulation is specifically designed with athletes in mind, delivering an EPD-dominant formula that packs a powerful punch in every capsule. Say hello to improved joint mobility and bid farewell to pesky mild joint inflammation. Head over to our TriShop and snag yourself some Ultra Omega goodness today!

Quick heads up for next Monday's swim session: we've got a slight time and venue change! Mark your calendars for 7pm and dive into the indoor pool. Same stellar workout, just a different time and setting to keep things fresh and exciting.

RACE WEEKEND

Pre-Race Session

Meet at Elwood Beach by 6.45am.
First, we will ride one lap of the bike course (10km), followed by a run off the bike (1 - 2.5km) and then a swim in the bay. All of this will be at an easy effort to get us ready for race day!

We then set up the TA Taj (Tri-Alliance Tent), this is where we hang out, get ready, keep our bags on race day.

Bring everything, we will be riding on the road so make sure you have lights, a phone, sunglasses, helmet etc. Wear whatever you feel comfortable riding and running in. Most athletes wear their trisuit to easily ride, run and swim in.

Support the Squad

Not only does the vibrant blue and yellow provide a stylish and sleek look, but you'll also guarantee epic cheers and support from the crowd on race-day by being easily recognised as you make your way around the course.

Not to mention you are supporting the squad that supports you!

TriKids Race

The future stars of our crazy sport will be giving it their all on Sunday morning in the Tri Kids race. We're looking for some friendly faces to come and give these little ones a hand. It's super easy, they just need help with:
* lining up in their AGs
* walking to the start line
* being pointed in the right direction
* putting on tops, shorts, shoes (after the swim)
* racking and moving bikes
* encouragement to keep going
* smiles for miles and high 5s all round!

Meet at the TA Tent at 6.50am for briefing in transition at 7.10am. The more the merrier. Let's get around these gems of the sport!
