The Hot Logs session run last Thursday morning was a success, with coaches and athletes able to get in just as many kms and at the same intensity as always.  Yes, there are two hot dog turns...but what do you usually do in a race....a hot dog turn.  So there goes that excuse!

Hot Logs will continue, starting at 5:45am from the front entrance of MSAC on Thursday morning, for those with it on their programs.

As with any session, an evaluation of the conditions (weather, traffic, hazards) are always made at the time, and if necessary the session will be moved to somewhere appropriate.

Given the difficulty in easily accessing our usual meeting point for run sessions, we are going to switch things up for a while.  We are moving to the north end of the lake on Tuesday mornings, until all road works are complete.  This will allow ample parking (and free up until 8am) for everyone, in the VIS car park. 

Coaches will meet you at Coot Picnic Area.  We have all been there before, you will know this part of the lake well, but if in doubt….Google it! 

We want Long Course athletes there for a 5:45am start, with main squad and Try-the-Tri athletes ready to run at 6am. 

We are going to hold our Thursday night and Saturday morning combo sessions from Green Point at Brighton Beach (right next to Brighton Beach Gardens) this week.  Here’s what you need to know:

THURSDAY night training

Who: everyone! 
The SC will begin with a run and then swim afterwards with Coach Steph. 
The runners will base their session from here and hit the trails with Coach Gaz. 
LC will meet Coach Greg here and then head down to water. 
Coach Ollie will be working with TTT#5, both on the beach and on the trails. 
It might be a good idea to leave the bulk of your belongings in the car.

Where: everyone meets in the Green Point car park to receive a briefing from their coach.

When: 6pm – don’t be late!

Why: it’s great race recon in preparation for Sunday.  It’s good for others to get out of their comfort zones and embrace different conditions.  The trails are brilliant for building strength.  And why not?!?!

Bikes: No.  There isn’t the scope to utilize these so we will stick with swim/run.

SATURDAY morning training

Who: Short Course only!  This is your race prep session.

Where: everyone meets in the cark park of Green Point.  You may not be able to drive in, so you can park nearby and cycle down. You will be riding first anyway, so come prepared.  Leave bags, and belongings in the car initially.  Once you get back, meet on the grassy area, where you can leave your bags whilst you run.  This can be followed by a swim.

When: 7am – don’t be late!

**LC ride is still leaving from Elwood at 6.00am, with Coach Greg.**

Slightly later start time for the kiddies again this week.  If anyone is able to volunteer for some fun and craziness and would like to help, please let me know asap.  It’ll be a 7:05am briefing in the bike compound.
