THE WEEKLY TRANSITION….. swim, bike, run, read

Welcome to this week’s edition of The Weekly Transition. With our fearless leaders away JC and I (Emma) are at the helm with so much mischief we could get up to……….

We imagine Ollie and Sarah are having an awesome time in Vietnam without us!

It has been another BIG week for Tri Alliance with a soft launch of the new TA website, the Tri man Torquay and Trail Walker on the weekend take a deep breath…….Along with Sydney ITU Olympic Distance Tri and Martin Borner completing his 1st ever Iron Man this weekend! There is so much more so take the time to read the full newsletter attached.

A reminder, Coaches Ollie & Sarah will be away overseas from Monday 4 April – Monday 2 May. During this time they will be un-contactable, however John and Emma can assist you with your needs. Our other coaches will also be on deck at a number of the training sessions. For those still racing please don’t hesitate to contact the office for any assistance you may need. If you wish to chat to any of the coaches please do so at sessions or via the below details, please avoid the use of Facebook as you may not get a reply!!

CONGRATULATIONS TO

Kathryn Proctor

Brendan Cullen

Mick Ryan

Brett Archbold

Paul Walker

On completing the TriMan Torquay last weekend. Reports were that the swim started over rocks -a two lap course and the 2nd lap converged with the start of another wave so it was very crash and bash! The bike leg had a harsh wind and a rough surface! Yet another tough race conquered.

 

FURTHER CONGRATS TO

 

Michael Grau-Veliz – 13 hours 28 minutes, 9th overall! A little sore but stoked and glad it’s over 🙂

Felicity Cumming

Mirco Hering

On completing the grueling 100km walk or run, as it was for Michael, last weekend. The event began at Jells Park in Wheelers Hill and finished at Wesburn Park in the Yarra Valley.

 

RECOVERY & TRANSITION PHASE

Now in full swing for most of our athletes. You should be enjoying some lighter style training and taking the opportunity to participate in varied activities. Based on your feedback we have created the APRIL TIMETABLE.

This week was our first Boot Camp by Fire Up Fitness

A word on that from one of our athletes – Andrew Wood-Rich

With each Athlete Survey I have responded that I would like to add some circuit and strength training to our sessions.

I used to be with a small training group before joining Tri Alliance and was missing this extra kick.

When boot camp was announced I jumped at it!

Day 1

Warm up – Leg work, hurting already. I thought I was good at this stuff!

Main session – push ups, planks, dips, plyometric leaps and lunge walk (hurting continues)

Boxing – Hurting moves north

Cool down – Touch football = Awesome

Verdict: great work out with two trainers that focussed on correct form and core strength

I’ll be back to hurt some more next Tuesday, but then again, I asked for it
