We’ve made it back to the beginning of Build Week 1 again, and what better way to start the week than with a read of your favourite newsletter! So, grab your drink of choice and settle in for a quick rundown of what's on the agenda.
First things first, let's talk about the Pre-Season camp happening this weekend in beautiful Queenscliff. I can already feel the excitement building up! Our crew, including a fantastic team of four coaches, will be throwing themselves into three days of intense race-specific training. Not to mention all the added bonuses you get when you are living the pro-life and have the coaches at your disposal 24/7. It's like a triathlete's dream come true, right? If you're not joining us at camp, unfortunately there won’t be any coached sessions in Melbourne. But you can follow your own program and stay in the game.
Speaking of getting in the game, have you checked in on just how long you have left before your next race day? We've laid it all out in black and white, just to remind you how much (or little) time you've got left to prep. Trust me; it's a real eye-opener and might just kickstart your motivation into high gear.
Now, let's talk style and performance. We're thrilled to introduce our brand-new trisuits for the season. You can pre-order yours now at a discounted price and even personalise it to showcase your name or triathlete personality. Looking good and feeling fast has never been easier!
Speaking of races, Andy's got a compelling reflection to share from his recent adventure at the Livigno Xtreme Triathlon. Spoiler alert: sometimes, things don't go according to plan in the world of triathlon, and that's okay. Andy's story is a testament to resilience and the pursuit of achievement.
On a lighter note, have you been keeping tabs on Jimmy and Dicko's epic travels? Those two are living the dream and making us all a bit jealous with their globetrotting adventures. We can't wait to hear all about their races when they return, but for now we just want them to enjoy their rest and recovery time!
Now, let's circle back into the heart of our squad - Meet the TA Family. It was received really well last week, and we’re excited to bring you another instalment this week. Meet the TA Family is more than just a segment; it's a journey into the incredible people who make up our tight-knit community. This week, we're turning our attention to Georgia, to hear how she got connected with TA and learn a little bit more about her.
And what's a newsletter without some friendly advice? Captain Gaz has a word of wisdom in the Coach's Corner, reminding us to ride safely and responsibly during our weekend adventures on the bike. We're all in this together, folks!
Quick session reminders: - Tuesday morning runs now start at the early bird hour of 5:45am during Build Weeks 1 and 2.
- Tuesday night wind trainer sessions are back at MSAC in the flesh.
- For our beginner swimmers and Lane 0 regulars, Wednesday night swim sessions are kicking off this week, especially for you. If you're unsure which Wednesday session is your jam, please reach out and clarify. We’d hate for you to turn up to the wrong session!
- Thursday night run session change of location. Due to the forecast of 94,000 supporters due at the MCG for the first AFL final (#GoPies), we are keeping you clear of mayhem and will run the session from MSAC, around Albert Park Lake.
Ready to represent the squad? 2XU Tri Club entries are open, and we'd love to see as many of you as possible sign up and take advantage of that sweet 20% discount included in your Annual Membership packages. More racing = more fun!
Last but not least, a big shoutout to all of you who participated in the spontaneous Beat Your Time challenge last week. The efforts in the swim and the run have not only impressed the coaches, but clearly demonstrated the unwavering dedication to slogging it out through Winter training and committing to setting the foundations for the season ahead! Those who successfully beat the clock and emerged victorious have been rewarded with $300 to deduct from the Queenscliff registration. It's our way of saying "Bravo!" while also lightening the load on their camp investment, proving that hard work truly pays off! Those winners who had already paid for camp are receiving a refund of $300.
That's a wrap, folks! Scroll on down for all the juicy details. Keep pushing your limits, have fun, and remember, the pain of discipline today is the strength of achievement tomorrow. |
