RECOVERY AND TRANSITION PHASE

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.

For those who are still in training for events such as Port Mac or Cairns, a number of sessions will cater for you – however you will be required to bring your program with you and be aware of your own training schedule.

WHAT’S ON: THE TIME TABLE

We have plenty of great sessions planned including:

  • Mountain Biking
  • Hiking, Trail Run, 1000 Steps
  • Bike Road Skills
  • Studley Park Family Day
  • Tour de Latte Rides
  • Goal Setting & Pre Season Motivation
  • End of Season Presentation Night Sat 11 May
  • Plus loads more!!
