Deep Breath ….

No races week last week, but this week is a different matter with Sunshine Coast 70.3 perhaps marking the official start to our 2024-2025 season. HPT Has 3 athletes heading up. Kelly Linton, Paul Linton and Dylan Synnott will be flying the flag. Good luck team !

As you can see below on the race schedule, things get hectic from now on. It kind of heads into a few little “streams” of sort also. Long course, we have the Kona crew getting their final blocks done, Western Sydney is around the corner, and of course Busso is now in the red zone of a 3 month prep period, For the short coursers, we are now prepping for the big qualifying races to get valuable points to get on the team for Wollongong Worlds, amd finally of course the adventure race scene is getting busy with Ultra’s and 24 hour events.

What does all this mean for preparing athletes?

It means making sure the work gets done.

It also means the long course crew are building race specifics into our long sessions, more high intensity intervals for the short course crew and the adventure racers will 100% be working on their skills over rocky terrain and open water paddling.

And of course it also means enjoying what we do because ultimately if we don’t enjoy it we will hold ourselves back.
