Andrew Tong | Triathlon coaching

I think I am packed and have everything I need. We have been told to pack light but to have gear for every weather types and casual clothes, nutrition, foam rollers, spare tyres, tubes, brake pads and canisters. The bag is not very light.

I have spent the last few days stressing where I worry about any muscle twinge or if I sneeze but I think I am ready and ready to go tomorrow Monday 29th April for Day 1.

I am $1,500 short of my fundraising target that means that I need to raise just over $1 for every kilometre that I cycle over the next 10 days. Or think of it this way 15 donations of $100 or 30 donations of $50. Every little bit helps so please give what you can and help me support The Salvos.

Hopefully you can follow me over the next 10 days of this exciting journey and challenge.

In 2018 we started a kids Tri Training program during the summer terms. We did focus on developing skills, technique and fitness, but I think the smiles on the kids faces every week at training says that we also had lots fun (Parents are happy too seeing their kids being active). These squads are being run again in 2019, with the first session starting on Wednesday 30 January 2019. Please refer to our Kids Tri Page for entry and further details. Come along and join in on the fun.
