Important Updates
It’s Thursday ! … and as I start packing for Taupo it’s a good time to put down some items for everyone to note now and over the next couple of weeks.
Comms
Communication only works if one person talks and the other person can hear. Everyone is different in that regard so some messages will be doubled up to try to capture everyone’s ears and eyes.
As a result can everyone do a few things that may help in that regard.
Newsletters : All newsletters containing all the latest info are availiable on the website here so you can go back and read them at anytime
Emails : To make sure you are getting the emails, check your spam box and white list my hptcoachpete@gmail.com address.
Instagram : @highperformancetri is where it all happens. Make sure you are following us. We also have a close friends list for you to get hpt athlete exclusive tips, videos and info. Please let us know If you aren’t seeing the close friends posts (they have a green star for posts or green circle for stories) and we will add you.
Facebook Messenger Chat Group : Chat groups arent everyone’s cup of tea but if you aren’t on our HPT Training & Racing Group, and wish to be, just let me know and I will add you. It’s a great place to put out requests for training buddies, borrowing gear, or general sport chit chat.

HPT World Cup
Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th of March, 2025
Our famous World Cup race is moving this year to the Nepean Triathlon. It is a handicapped super sprint race with plenty of fun, huge bragging rights and a serious trophy for your mantelpiece. For the keen ones, you could stay out there and race the next day in the Standard or Aquabike.
Christmas Training :
It is always my goal to have everyone take a break from the Training Peaks schedule in the Christmas Week. I believe it’s healthy to not be driven by an app or yet another thing “to do”. As such I wont program the week from 23rd to the 29th of December and you will have a program ready to go from the 30th.
As always ….swim, ride and run to your own schedule. Train in different places. Pick a challenge even ? If you want some guidance or suggestions just ask before the end of the year.
During that time the coaching team will also be having a break and putting the laptops and phones away to recharge the batteries and be ready to go in the new year !
