hell-week-2019

Happy New Year to all the TA Family. We hope you celebrated fittingly with loved ones and are rested up and raring to go for the year ahead! Each new year offers an exciting opportunity for a fresh start and new beginnings, but no matter what your goals for the coming year are or how many new year’s resolutions you plan on making for 2020, the start of a new year is also a moment to celebrate all of your achievements from 2019. So, cheers to the new year and another chance for us to get it right!


We kicked off the 2020 training timetable this week and are back to full sessions. The website has all the information you need each week, so check in there to get the latest info. Including the change of sessions this weekend due to Race #3 of the 2XU series. Saturday morning race recon and TTT#4 will be held at Catani Gardens and Sunday morning swim/run will be at your own discretion. It would be nice to see lots of TA faces down at Catani Gardens on Sunday, supporting those racing and completing your training at the same time.


And why not get the ball rolling with a race! We have over 55 athletes registered to join in the fun at St Kilda this weekend, but we’re sure there are plenty of you that have the holiday hangover and have yet to sign up. Remember to get this done before 5pm on Friday afternoon. All after hours requests for passwords cannot be guaranteed a reply!


And if it’s been a while since your last race, don’t forget to check the TA checklist to make sure you don’t forget anything. As always, we need helpers for the future of our sport...the kids’ race! If you are yet to see these kids race, it’s something you don’t want to miss - they are some of the most resilient and bravest athletes you’ll see out on race day! 

And let's take a moment to reflect on the devastating bushfires hitting most of the country right now.  A great initiative you can get involved in is #KMSforBushfires.  Join squad members who are pledging to donate $$$ for each km they train this week.  And make sure you let us know (tag us in your socials or send a message), so we can support you too.

"Not only do I feel racier and faster; Not only am I easy to spot and attract #allofthecheers, but I had zero chaffing and no wet nappy feeling in my new trisuit…ah-mazing!"
If you haven’t already jumped on board the TA trisuit bandwagon, get on it!! We guarantee you will get extra cheers.  If you're not in team kit, don’t blame us if you only got cheers once you're 200m down the road and we finally realised we know who you are (we try our best, I promise!)…no, don’t be like all the others, be more like Caro!

There new 2020 suits are in stock, so there's plenty of sizes available.

Helpers Needed

The future stars of our crazy sport will be kicking off proceedings on Sunday morning with the Tri Kids race.  We're looking for some friendly faces to come and give these little ones a hand.  It's super easy, they just need help with:
* lining up in their AGs
* walking to the start line
* being pointed in the right direction
* putting on tops, shorts, shoes (after the swim)
* racking and moving bikes
* encouragement to keep going
* smiles for miles and high 5s all round!

Meet at the TA Tent at 9:45am for briefing transition at 10:00am.  The more the merrier.  Let's get around these gems of the sport!
