Hi team,

Great prize draw from Blue Seventy – makers of the great helix wetsuit and other swim gear.

Hi all,

Hope everyone can feel heir legs this morning! Hills are great for building your run form, strength and fitness. Any workout that is interval based will have a greater training effect for most people. Running hill repeats is also very efficient for those that are pressed for time or want to escape the weather on a sheltered hillside like today!

Here is a great vid with Ironman legend Dave Scott.

Wellington is blessed with great topography so go out and embrace those hills at least once a week!

Coach Logan

Hi all,

We are doing an easy jog to Maida Vale rd then doing some hill reps. Some of us will be going all the way up and some will be going to halfway with Anna and her special calves…

Please wear your shirts. It makes it easier for me to keep an eye on you guys and for those wanting to try out the squad to find us – just look for the blue and red (fuschia?!?) shirts outside Freyberg pool at 6.30pm.

See everyone there and hopefully some new guys and girls keen for a run. Just come along and find out why and how to run some of those great hills around Wellington!

Coach Logan

What a beaut night for our first swim session!

Great to have Don and Matt along with us last night. Andrew and Denise will be with us next week and Craig promises to get wet and show us some swim form!

This link has a good tweak on the catch up drill that will be help with your hand entry (especially for Matt and Rich).

Happy training this weekend!

Coach Logan

Hi all,

Good night at Shoe Clinic – congrats to Daz with the Scorching Triathlons looking good for the season. Thomo has got the Splash ‘n dash series planned and ready to rock this summer!

We will be taking new members into the Squad throughout the summer so if you want to come along and have a trial session please do. As we all seem to be getting busier it can be hard to commit to all sessions. We can work out a rate to match your circumstances.

Thorndon Pool tonight at 8-9pm with our super swim guru Anna “Nemo” Marshall. See everyone there!

Coach Logan

Nice run tonight everyone!

Scorching Triathlons are having an open day at Shoe Clinic this Wednseday the 26th. Get along and support Daz and the Angels and you might even win free stuff! While you are there join up with the Wellington Tri Club – great club and well worth joining up!

See everyone Thursday night at Thorndon Pool at 8pm.

Still have some spots left so if you are keen to come along and have a go please do.

Coach Logan

Beaut day for flying kites…!

We have an easy group run tonight to get to know everyone. Meeting at 6.30pm outside Freyberg Pool on Oriental Bay. Look for some blue and red t-shirted runners. With this wind we will probably go into the hills to find some shelter if it doesn’t let up.

Come along if you just want to see what Squad training is all about – I am sure that you will like the commaraderie and fun we have!

Coach Logan

Hi all,

places are filling up in the Squad so email us so we can hold a spot for you!

If you want to come along to meet us and have a go come along on Tuesday night. We are meeting outside Freyberg pool on Oriental Parade at 6.30pm for an easy jog. I am sure you will enjoy it!

Our facebook page is up and running too – we will be putting lots of Triathlon links to great articles and videos, updates of what the Squad are up to and lots of photos from training and the events.

Enjoy the long weekend everyone!

Coach Logan

Hi all,

the little guy is now sleeping and triathlon season is almost upon us!

I hope everyone has made the most of the warmer and drier winter and managed to get some training in. For those that haven’t you can join me at the back of the pack as I am trying to play catch up on a year of pushing a pram rather than swim/bike/running…. Dave has been training hard for those without such committments!

Look forward to seeing everyone soon – and keep watch for a fancy new website soon!

Coach Logan

Hi all,

just a quick note – we are postponing training sessions for the Squad for Jan/Feb/March of 2011. This is to allow your coaches to catch up on some sleep and try to get the children sleeping through the night! Trust us you don’t want a grumpy sleep deprived coach yelling at you to go faster in transition!!

Keep an eye on the site for the timetable and seminar dates for kick off in October.

Till then – good luck with your training, train safe and smart.

Coach Logan

And good luck to Coach Dave in his quest for KONA
