Noosa Triathlon Is Upon Us

It's great to see a huge TA contingent travelling to sunny Noosa to kick off a new season in style. There's over 40 of you making the trip up, primed and ready to put those long months of training and preparation into fruition on race day!

We can't wait to see plenty of you out on the course and strongly encourage everyone competing to be proudly repping TA gear, so we can easily identify you for those extra loud cheers and words of encouragement!

If you are eagerly counting down the days until go time on Sunday, make sure you take full advantage of taper week and give your body the time it needs to rest up so you're in tip-top shape to compete at your best. We have posted a suggested timetable for the lead up in the FB chat group, which will make the most of our time away and include important recon sessions and squad social time!

Don't forget, we've got loads of nutrition tips on our website for you to check out if you're looking for a little assistance on how to fuel your body in the lead-up to the big day.

For all of you who aren't competing, make sure to take full advantage of recovery week and then get ready to launch into the next few weeks of training - there's plenty of exciting times just around the corner!

The New Suits Have Arrived!

Just in case you haven't heard, our brand-new TA Elite Trisuits for season 2023/24 have now arrived and are available for purchase for just $198.

Not only does the vibrant blue and yellow provide a stylish and sleek look to head into a new season with, 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!

The new suits feature a cutting-edge design with a range of tried and tested features engineered to enhance your performance and comfort:

• Durable Construction: Heavier grade material from the waist down offers durability for the rigours of triathlon.
• Nutrition on the Go: Zip pocket with 2 x mesh pockets for quick nutrition access.
• Breathability: Mesh panels keep you cool and comfortable throughout your race.

Make the Most of Our Resources

You've likely seen the email that went out last week, with a friendly reminder of the various extra resources we offer designed to help take your race day performance to the next level!

From our Retül bike fit to one-on-one Coaching Sessions, Swim Stroke Video Analysis or Coaching Consultations, we are dedicated to ensuring you have every possible resource at your disposal to maximise your training and smash your goals this summer.

If there's anything else you're looking for in your triathlon training journey that we don't currently have available, don't hesitate to let us know - we're always here to assist your preparation and support our athletes in any way possible!

The Christmas Party Is Locked In!

We are getting in early this year, to make sure we see as many of you there as possible.

So get your diary out now and put in this date:

SUNDAY 17th DECEMBER @ 1:30PM

We will be heading back to St Kilda Sports Club for some fun and frivolity. Details, bookings and requests for secret-stealing-Santa will all be out in due course.

You just make sure you clear some space in your social calendars to hang out with your tri-buddies!

It's Time To Sign

We have had a great partnership with Elwood Life Saving Club for many 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 2023/24 season. Not only will this support our community, and get you access to hot showers on training days, but 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!).

Associate Membership fees (non-patrolling) for the 2023/24 season are $100. ELSC are also offering a number of training opportunities for their members. So, make sure you get on board and support the local community.

You will need to ensure that you have a current Working with Children Check, which has Elwood LSC and Life Saving Victoria listed as organisations. They will not be able to process your renewals without this.

Once you have your ELSC membership sorted, you can then apply to the City of Port Phillip for a Foreshore Club parking permit. Both are simple processes – juts follow the links below (in order) and get yourself sorted for the season ahead!
