Well done and we look forward to hearing all about it when you get back.

We will monitor numbers and athlete progression to see if additional space required in due course. Any questions please ask your coach.

TRIATHLON TRAINING CAMP THAILAND

Thanyapura Thailand Camp is now the leading camp on our calendar and now is one not to be missed! Last year we have tailored this camp for the upcoming Ironman World Champs (Kona), 70.3 World Champs and ITU World Championship events or as a springboard to the 2017/18 season.

With the huge success of year one we now have increased the number of athletes to a maximum of 30 athletes catering for all levels

This initiative was born from the need of many athletes who are looking to take their training and racing performance to the next level or for those who need to include a spike in their program, get some real marginal gains and advance themselves as an athlete through true immersion in triathlon training in a world class facility.

Brainstormed and designed by Shotz Sports Director, Darryl Griffiths, author and owner of Shotz Sports Nutrition, and Tri Alliance Level 2 Head Coach and Director, Ollie Allan (Sub 9hr Ironman, 2 x Kona World Champs).

Our aim is to give the attending athletes an incredible experience, jammed packed with insight into and knowledge of significant valuable gains that can contribute to overall performance improvements and success. Thanyapura has been specifically selected as the destination of our premier camp because of its outstanding reputation as a sport, fitness, health and educational haven.

VICTORIAN DUATHLON SERIES

Entries for the 2017 Victorian Duathlon Series are now open! The annual Victorian Duathlon Series consists of three races, each run by a different host club in collaboration with Triathlon Victoria.

Many athletes take part in this to see how they are progressing on the run and bike and to get a bit of sharpness into their winter. Check out the link below for more information and have a chat with your coach if this is something that interests you.
