QLD TRANSITIONS 12/02/13

MOVIE NIGHT

Join us at the movies next Friday 22nd February for our first fundraiser for the Smiling for Smiddy campaign. So far we have raised $10,000 across Qld and Vic but we have a long way to go to reach our target of $100,000 by Noosa Triathlon.

We need final numbers for the movie night by this Friday 15th February. The more people that come along the more money we will raise for a great cause so bring your brothers, sisters, friends, grannies, local butcher… whoever you can rope into coming!

The movie night will start with finger food at 6pm with the movie start time at 6:45pm. Cost is $25 and we will be watching Silver Linings Playbook – nominated for 8 Oscars.

UNIFORMS

We are currently waiting on delivery of the cycling gear which should be any day now. We will have the gear to distribute at training as soon as it arrives. We have 90% of tri suits and running gear distributed.

Please email [email protected] by the end of the week if you have any issues with sizing or have not received any tri suit or running gear that you have ordered.

TRAINING

This weekend for Brisbane members we’re out at Suttons Beach Redcliffe for a transition session.  For long course athletes planning on attending this session we would advise riding out to Redcliffe and back.

On the Coast they will be doing another quality interval based ride for all abilities.  Please check the calendar for starting times and locations.

For wind trainer bookings on a Friday morning in Brisbane we have now set up a booking page on the website . This is for those people that do not have their own windtrainer and wish to book in one of the 4 we have available. Cost for use is $5 payable to the coach at the start of the session.
