As a triathlete, an injury can feel like the end of the world. For those of us who live and breathe TA, our training is so much more than, just training. 

After an incredible Hell Week at the end of 2019, I felt I had set up perfectly for the second half of the series.

I couldn’t have been more wrong.

"For endurance athletes, it’s all too easy to let your mileage, splits, and other stats become your main focus. And while the stimuli you subject yourself to are important, they don’t fully determine the adaptation you’re seeking: the key part of your training equation is how well you recover. There are plenty of levers and dials you can use to tweak your recovery, but (perhaps surprisingly) few hold more promise than the ability to manipulate your breathing. "

Who's ever wanted to mix up the flavours during training?  A bit of this and a bit of that.  We've got a couple of mixed boxes ready to go for a lucky few. 
But once they're gone, that's it!
1 x mixed box (Wild Berry & Cola Vanilla)
1 x mixed box (Berry Banana & Cola Vanilla)
1 x mixed box (Wild Berry & Cappuccino)
1 x mixed box (Berry Banana & Cappuccino)
1 x mixed box (Berry Banana & Green Plum)

*Bonus*.....they're half conventional and half caffeinated. 

Thank you to everyone who has hung around, said 'hi' or lended a helping hand to one or more of our newer athletes recently.  We can't tell you how far this kindness goes into making our members feel welcomed, supported and part of the Tri-Alliance family. 

And we've still got plenty more big sessions to come!  With Race #5 and #6 of the 2XU series scheduled so close together, the two TTT groups are running simultaneously, with lots of new faces at each session.

If you're around and see someone looking a bit lost or overwhlemed, if you have a spare 5 mins to help them out or have some advice you can pass on, of you notice something that could do with some extra attention, please feel free to do so.  They love hearing from other athletes.  They look up to you and are like giant sponges at the moment, taking in all they can.  

TTT Sessions occur at the following times:
Tuesday AM run and PM wind trainer
Thursday PM combo
Saturday AM combo
Sunday AM long swim/run

Team work makes the dream work...and what a team we have!

ICYMI - the set up for the Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix commenced in early January and as the event nears (12-15 March 2020), the number of cars, trucks and infrastructure increases in the Albert Park Lake area. This, as well as the road closures listed below, impacts a number of our training sessions and general access to the area. 

Please take extra care at ALL sessions as the road set up may have changed since the week prior or there may be additional obstacles in the way, there can be water on the road due to extra watering and there may be temporary stops or navigation required around vehicles entering, exiting and stopping on the road. 

Please be mindful that road closures are in place from 7am when choosing where to park before a session!
