fitness with a triathlon flavour

21st December 2011

Hey Team,

4 sleeps until Christmas and it can’t come soon enough! Great to hear so many of you are having a short break to recharge the body and mind.

1.  Racing News
No racing news to speak of this week so whilst we are counting down to Christmas we thought we would give you a quick countdown to a few of the key races coming up after Christmas!

  • Gatorade Race 3 – 25 sleeps!
  • Sandringham Olympic Distance Tri – 46 sleeps!
  • Ironman New Zealand – 73 sleeps!
  • Ironman Melbourne – 95 sleeps!

    •  Hopefully with all of those races and many more on the horizon it will inspire everyone to keep that training going and eat that little bit healthier over the Christmas / New Year’s period!

    2.  Want to Try something different?
    For those of you already planning out your racing for next year why not try a race overseas and make a holiday of it? With so many fantastic races overseas and with the races here selling out so quickly these days we thought it might be good to give you the occasional insight into some great international adventures.

  • Desaru International Triathlon – The Desaru International is a half Ironman distance triathlon held in September every year in the Johor region of Malaysia. The race is in a fantastic resort location of Malaysia and is a quick trip across the border from Singapore airport. Prize money is available for all age groups and the race organisers run a fantastic event. So if you are thinking of a race that fits in well at the end of our Melbourne winter this is a great option.

    • 3. Christmas / New Year’s Training Sessions
    One final reminder about the sessions over the break as below.

  • Wednesday 28th December - Road Bike Session - Starting at 6:15am from the Clock Tower in Black Rock (this is the roundabout on at Beach Rd and Balcombe Rd in Black Rock – For those spinning down to the session Matty will be leaving at 5:20am sharp from the corner of Vic Ave and Beach Rd in Albert Park).
  • Thursday 29th December - Run Session - Starting at 6:15am from the Carousel at Albert Park Lake
  • Friday 30th December - Open Water Swim Session - Starting at 6:15am from the end of Kerferd Road , Albert Park

    • 4. Birthdays
    Happy birthday this week to Rachael Hogg who turns 30! We hope you are enjoying your travels Rach and it’s not too cold over there in Scotland for you!

    5. Quote of the Week
    “There are two things to aim at in life; first to get what you want, and after that to enjoy it. Only the wisest of mankind has achieved the second”.

    6. Merry Christmas
    Being our last Wednesday Wrap of the year, all of us would like to say a big thank you for supporting Tri Fitness again this year. We continue to get so much out of watching everyone set goals and work towards achieving them. We hope all of you and your family have a fantastic Christmas and a safe and happy New Year period. For those away dont forget to take your TF T-shirts and get us some snaps for the 'Where in the World' section on our website! 

    We look forward to catching some of you for a few sessions next week and then everyone else for a fresh start in the new year.


    Ho, Ho, Ho.

    Kane, Jimmy & Matty
