Welcome to the first week of Term 3. After such an excellent time at the South Island Schools’ Road Race in Christchurch – not to mention the excitement of the Tour de France, everyone has experienced an upturn in motivation for training. This week we get back into solid capacity building. The swim and ride sessions will contain some sustained aerobic phases, and the run session will focus on plyometric sets. All designed to increase your sustained aerobic effort, as well as start to facilitate your muscular ability to sustain a high intensity attack.
The Southern Tour and the Yunca Tour of Southland are only a few short weeks away now. Those of you who wish to compete in these events are encouraged to keep your bikes adjusted to the maximum rollout distances. From next week we will also be including suggested training efforts for you to do outside of our three club sessions.
We need three more people to opt in to buy or hire a club skin suit for cycling in order for us to qualify for the 10 item cost. If anyone who wants one didn’t get the chance to fill out the form, you can still do so here.

Our club fitness swim will always be free to all comers. Merryn has asked if anyone would like to take advantage of coached sessions this term. Please speak to or email me if you would like to take advantage of her expertise. She is able to coach technique on every level, from beginner to advanced racers. We’ll go ahead with coaching from Merryn if 6 people opt in. It would cost $30.00 for 6 sessions.
