APRIL RECOVERY AND TRANSITION PHASE 2015
For the majority of our athletes April marks the end of the season and time to recover and have some time off from triathlon. A chance to have a break from the ‘norm’, catch up with friends, have some FUN while still maintaining fitness. So we have again developed a fantastic lineup of sessions and activities during April to allow just that. Sessions will be fun based with a social element, but still allow you to push yourself at times to maintain a base fitness.
For those who are still in training for events such as Port Mac or Cairns, please ensure you speak to a Coach in regards to a specific program to lead you into your events.

- Rock Climbing
