Thanks to all the superstars who joined us on the latte ride on Saturday.  It was a little chilly, but still a great morning to be on the bike.  Hopefully we can keep some of this glorious Autumn sunshine going. If you're up for a bit of fun, there’s more to be had this week with the social latte ride heading local-ish, towards yummy treats.

It’s really important during this recovery month to break the cycle of intensive, same-same training.  You need to give your body a rest and also your mind.  That’s why we like to get off Beach Road and take our rides somewhere different.  We also slow down the pace and encourage you to mingle and chat and remember one of the important parts of squad training – socializing!

We can’t stress enough, the respect you need to show to your body and the sport, by embracing the training phases.  You simply cannot function at full throttle all year round and expect not to get burnt out or injured.  We’ve seen many athletes train through, but you cannot underestimate the toll triathlon takes on your body.  So, if you have just finished the 2XU series, and have been going strong for a while, then now’s the time to reset.  You will not ‘lose’ everything (very common worry)!  You will actually be able to come back stronger if you embrace the downtime.  If not, then perhaps you really will lose everything by getting yourself to a point where you cannot train anymore (#injuriessuck).

And you know what’s a good way to embrace recovery month????  With a little bit of partying at our end of season celebration!  Remember it’s happening on April 15th, and there's only 11 tickets left!  Don't say we didn't warn you...

We want to wish everyone a very Happy Easter!!!  We hope you get to enjoy some time with family, take a break and probably eat too much chocolate – it’s all about balance!
