Our Ambassadors are enjoying themselves at our Thailand Camp (Thanyapura) this week.  They have so much to share, including a fun little game from Gaz.  Make sure you have a read to hear all about it!

Just giving you the heads up on a couple of changes to sessions, whilst Thailand camp is on this week.
Tuesday: night windtrainer will be BYO only.  There will not be any wind trainers available for hire on Tuesday 31st July.  Please come prepared.
Wednesday: final S&C session at MSAC performance centre. 
Thursday: recovery run session from the Tan.  Don't be late as we're heading out and about in the city!
Saturday: all rides leaving from Mordi at 7:30am (recovery week timetable). 
Stay tuned to FB for any further updates over the next week.  

There’s nothing worse or more frustrating than getting sick just before a race, or when you’re in the middle of a training build. While moderate levels of exercise or training are good for your health and can enhance your immune system, prolonged, high-intensity endurance exercise or training can dampen the immune system, making triathletes often more susceptible to the common colds and flu’s.  Check in here to see how you can keep your immune system in tip top shape.

STRENGTH & CONDITIONING FOR TRIATHLON 

The past few weeks you’ve learnt the technique, now we are going to give you not only a great strength workout, but one you will be able to replicate at home (specific sets, reps, exercises).

You’ll learn what super setting is to create some variance in your strength training. This is the one you don’t want to miss. Come prepared to work hard and advance your skills.

*Please bring your bands & yoga mat to this session

Time to update the wardrobe and keep cosy and warm in one of our 2018 hoodies.  Perfect for pre and post training sessions and ever so stylish in the new monochrome theme. You want want to miss out!  These are about to hit production, but it will be a limited order.  Keep an eye out for a post to pre-order yours, or send me an email to let me know you're interested.  Cost $65. Sizes XS-XL.

We've got a few exciting events in the pipelines (and a couple more we can't reveal just yet), that we want to give you the heads up on.  No further details at this stage, but it'd be a good idea to block these dates out in your diary:
Thursday 16th August - TA Team Meeting, featuring Mizuno wear test run session, new season styles/colours showcased and product specialists on hand to answer all your questions.
Wednesday 22nd August - Chicks Bike Maintenance Night, hosted and supported by the gurus at Giant South Yarra.  This night is always full of fun, laughter, wine, cheese...oh and some bike stuff!  

That’s right, shoes…that are free!! Free for children who currently live in poverty and literally can’t afford shoes…or socks for that matter.  This is where I’m calling upon the amazing TA family to PLEASE HELP!

During my recent travels to Sri Lanka, I was fortunate enough to visit a school and meet some incredible young kids. They are the poorest of the poor. They have very little but were so full of life and love.  I am currently taking shoe donations (including socks) with an aim to collect a minimum of 400 pairs – one pair for every child at the school.

Many of us, including our children, siblings, nieces, nephews etc have a pair of runners that don’t see the light of day and just sit in the back of the cupboard. These pre-loved shoes can literally come back to life and potentially be the first pair of shoes these children will ever own. For some, this will be something they will never forget. But please make sure they are still in reasonable condition.

If you can help, please bring whatever you can to training sessions and I will take them off your hands. I will be attending the TA movie night at the Jam Factory also, so you can bring them along then too.  Thank you legends!!

We have recently been contacted from a member who has some TA kit that is not getting much use.  She'd like to see it go to a good home.  There are a number of pieces, which would be great for someone getting into the sport and just starting out in this somewhat expensive sport of ours!  Everything is about Size 12 and some pieces are like new!  If you are interest shoot me an email and I will put the owner in touch with you.  Just let me know what catches your eye!
