Good afternoon, triathletes! A little later with your TA news today as we ease into a slow Monday!
Noosa 2023 – A Perfect Day of Triumph! The Noosa Triathlon has come and gone, and what a day it was! The sun was shining, the wind was just right, and the warmth and humidity kept everyone on their toes. We witnessed incredible achievements from our athletes, including 10 Olympic distance debutants who truly showcased their ability and determination. But that's not all – there were personal bests, expectations met, time goals smashed, swim breakthroughs, and bike limits pushed to new heights. And let's not forget those anxious runners who had a less-than-ideal lead in but took to the course with ease. We couldn't be more thrilled for all of you! Your hard work and dedication paid off in spades, and we're bursting with pride.
A New Race Week Is Upon Us! As we bid farewell to beautiful Noosa, many of our long course athletes are gearing up for another exciting race. This Sunday, all eyes are on the Melbourne 70.3 Ironman in St Kilda. The course is very familiar, snaking its way along the foreshore, and we can't wait to see a strong contingent of TA supporters there on Sunday, cheering on our remarkable athletes. Let's continue to show our unwavering support and encouragement for our fellow squad members!
2XU Series Countdown! For those of you who are still pushing yourselves through training, whether you're coming off the high of Noosa or the 70.3 build, we want to keep you motivated for the upcoming 2XU series. With Race #1 less than 3 weeks away, it's essential to stay focused and follow your coaches' training programs. Rest assured, we've got you covered with tailored training to ensure you're prepared and raring to go on race day.
Fundraising for a Worthy Cause Our dedicated Ambassador, Ben Marples, is on a mission this November, growing a Mo and running at least 80km to fundraise for a cause close to his heart – men's mental health and suicide prevention. Ben's story and his openness about his own struggles have been inspiring. He's a vital part of the TA family, and we're proud to support his efforts to encourage others to share their own challenges and journeys.
Join Us – Be a Part of Something Special We have some fantastic opportunities ahead, and we'd love for you to be a part of them. At TA, we know life can get busy, but we're calling on your support to make our newer members feel the true TA love. Triathlon is what brought us together, but it's the incredible people that make our community special. We need your wisdom, your warmth, and your welcoming spirit to make our squad even better. Share your stories, make our newcomers feel at home, and let them experience the camaraderie that defines TA – both inside and outside of training. Your presence and support will create a welcoming environment for everyone, showcasing what makes TA truly extraordinary.
Timetable Change and Updates We've got a change to the timetable next Sunday, with the long swim and long run being from St Kilda to support our Long Course athletes. Be sure to check the details below. Also, please remember that there will be no coached sessions on Monday, November 6th, or Tuesday, November 7th. So, make sure to follow your own programs. Additionally, there will be reduced lanes Wednesday morning at MSAC due to the number of athletes away.
Get ready for another incredible week of training. Let's make it count, just as we always do! |
