News : Chilly
We are now deep into the winter experience it seems. Single digit temps and cold winds. Nothing good clothing choices can’t fix but as we get through our winter block. Interestingly training compliance is up generally so we are doing a great job. Keep it up.
I had my mini-break down the coast and loved it. I have caught up on reading through all the TP comments. Well done on keeping them coming through. Back to normal now on coach comments.
I want to make a quick shout out right here - right now to those facing challenges. This sport can seem unrelenting at times and it’s done in the context of our lives, which are not as simple as we would like them. Keep showing up team. I see how hard you try every day and am motivated by it.
Cheers
Coach

Race Round-Up
Sunday saw the Dolls Point Sri Chinmoy Run take place. This year we had a good group again and great racing. Jess Clifford in the 5k went 30:26 and improves all the time. Di Hurst in the 10k went 69:24 …an outstanding return to racing from Di. Scott Allison also raced the 10k and went 47:25. A mind blowing result for Scottie. Ange Browne and Sammy Revell raced the Half Marathon and both smashed it out of the park. Ange going 1:43:47 and Sammy going 1:45:23. Shoutout also to Mitch Hills and Josh Revell for helping the girls through their races.
In other events we had Alex Loughrey race in the Omnium up at Sutherland and Ben Bourke doing his 50k relay row for charity. Great job gents.
Sutho to Surf
Always a great event. This Sunday will see us take on the quickest 11k race you will do. Meet at the start outside the Wanderers Leather Shop. Meet at the end at the top of the hill before the run into Greenhills Carpark.
Swim Squad Change Reminder
Just a reminder that from next Monday, the 20th of July, we are moving swim squad to Caringbah Pool for 6-7 weeks while Sutherland Pool undergoes renovations. There is also a time change. Squad starts at 6:30pm and finishes at 7:30pm. Apologies for the inconvenience of the change but the good news is we will have a cleaner, safer pool ready to go for Spring.
Race Schedule
Run season is now in full swing with 4 runs this weekend for HPT athletes. Sutho to Surf, Melbourne 10k and Half Marathon, plus the Winery Marathon. We also have Goodness Gravel, Buladelah on.
A reminder to please mail me back withh races I am missing from the schedule.
