The future stars of our crazy sport will again be getting amongst it this Sunday morning with the Carman's 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 9:45am for briefing in bike compound at 10am.  The more the merrier.  Let's get around these gems of the sport!

Not only do our NEW tri suits make you feel RACIER and FASTER, not only are they easier to spot and attract #allofthecheers, but ahtletes have reported ZERO chaffing and no wet nappy feel #winning!  We are completely blown away by just how good the new TA trisuits look! 
So if you haven’t already jumped on board the new trisuit bandwagon, get on it!! You’re just in time for the start of the season and we guarantee you will get extra cheers…so come on, don’t be like some people at Challenge Shepp in non-TA suits who only got cheers once they were 200m down the road and we’d finally realised we knew them (we tried our best, I promise!)…no, don’t be like them, be more like Dan!

You all know the deal - slip them straight on or waste time tying them up!?!?
We know how much faster your transitions are when you don't have to waste time trying to tie your laces and we've now got them available in 6 spanky colours!  Only $10 a set.  They'll be at each session, so grab yours and get your shoes sorted now!

Don’t forget anything on race day with our Comprehensive Triathlon Race Day Checklist. There's a handy mobile freindly verion too to check off as you go!  Don't stress...Tri-Alliance Triathlon Coaching will ensure you are ready to race!

Due to the Midsumma Pride March taking place in St Kilda on the same day as Race 4 of the 2XU Triathlon Series, the cycle course for the Sprint event has changed from two laps to three laps, and the Degani Fun Tri will now be two laps. All distances for the events will remain the same. 

We've been working closely with MSAC to access greater lane space, in what is already a heavily booked facility.  Tri-Alliance is one of the leading squads calling MSAC waters home and we're happy to annouce we have 4 LANES available for each Monday night and Wednesday morning swim session.  So make sure you get along and learn from gurus to get your swimming up to speed!

We have received communication from the Australian Grand Prix Project about upcoming changes to traffic conditions around Albert Park Lake.  Whilst we do not believe this notice will directly impact our sessions, it is still good information to know.  We will provide any further communication as it gets closer to the 2019 Australian Grand Prix.

Over a race weekend, things can look and feel a little different in terms of our sessions.  Therefore, it's important to know what time, what to bring and what to expect from the session #TrainingWithPurpose.
