1. WORD FROM THE COACHES PMA huge big up for our guys who completed their last big weekend in preparation for Ironman Port Macquire in just under 2 weeks. Annemarie, Andy, Rich, Malise and Evan have been putting in some serious kilometers culminating with a 36k run on Sunday. Well done on making it this far, a huge feat in itself – enjoy some rest and recovery in your taper before the big dance on Sunday 1st May. Next week we’ll have race numbers and info on race day. We have a good number of support crew going up too so will have regular updates on race day from the venue with pictures too no doubt. 🙂 GOR On Saturday in slightly inclement weather we had 15+ athletes riding the Great Ocean Road in the annual ride around the region. Some took on the 60k and others the 145k – next year maybe the 204k…. Great to see guys out there after a long hard season riding for the enjoyment and not focused on speed or time. It was great practice too for some who will take on parts of the course come June in our Lorne camp. The descent down Bennies into Lorne is one to experience and love. check out Kat’s blog for a little insight into this amazing ride and road. https://lifeupsidedomn.com/2016/04/18/riding-along-our-favourite-road/ APRIL RECOVERY AND TRANSITION MONTH For those who have now finished racing recovery is key before the build to next season. Read more about what is going on and the events coming up to help you get there below. Please note that the Coffee and Cake Rides are all abilities so a great time to come along, meet other guys in the squad and have some nice food! Our ride this Saturday 23rd starts from West Beach St Kilda at 7am where we will also eat afterwards. For those not attending the goal setting and need to run there will be a set from The Great Provider in St Kilda from 6pm on Thursday evening. As the weather cools down do ensure you are dressed appropriately for the sessions especially as we will be hitting the hills in the months ahead on the bike. Layers are key to be comfortable during this time. For a full range of gear jump on the TriShop here END OF SEASON PARTY – TICKETS & VOTING Tickets are on Sale for the party on Saturday 14th May.

2. APRIL RECOVERY MONTH CW-recovery-sq-v4 With the end of the season now here for many of our athletes we are now in the recovery and transition period. This is a very important time of the season where you need to unwind, rest and recuperate. Sessions should be fewer and much less intense to give tired bodies the rest that they deserve. If you have any questions about your own recovery or program please let your coach know and we can work through it with you. The timetable does look busy but we do still have a number of long course athletes training for races in May and June. This recovery & transition period we have the following:

In May when athletes have had some down time and are looking towards the new season we will be looking at introducing skills sessions on the bike, some bike maintenance as well as strength and conditioning and nutrition/body management. Please email us at [email protected] with any questions regards your top

5.TRAINING SESSION UPDATES

calendar

Please ensure you check the calendar regularly to know where and when sessions are as they do sometimes change (this is especially true for swim sessions at MSAC as these can change and are often unfortunately beyond our control). This weeks highlighted sessions: (please ensure you check your program or consult a coach so you attend the appropriate session and that you know your distances – remember you are accountable too!). When out riding please do so safely and pay attention to all the road rules and others using the road.  Read on for a guide to cycling etiquette and bike road safety and ethics.

  • Thursday 21st April – Goal Setting – Great Provider @6pm
  • Saturday 23rd April – Long course ride – Elwood @630am. Check your programs for distances.
  • Saturday 23rd April – Coffee and Cake Ride – St Kilda – West Beach Cafe @7am. Food at West Beach post ride.
  • Sunday 24th April – Long Course run – Elwood @8am
  • Sunday 24th April – Trail run & Walk – Mordialloc @11am (get your info below)

When riding on a Tri-Alliance coached road ride it is a requirement to wear team colours. This helps keep and identify the group together and provides more safety in the fact that other riders from outside the group are less likely to join in the group – we do not know them or their riding abilities. top
