Red Shield Ride 2019

Published 22 April, 2019 RedShieldAppeal , RedShieldRide Closed

I am privileged to be riding from Sydney to Melbourne starting on Monday 29th April 2019. I use the word privileged as this word aptly describes why I am doing it. I am raising funds for The Salvation Army who support so many in our community who do not share the same privileges as me. You can donate to my ride here. I am going to try really hard to post a daily update on this page of my progress. If you know me this will be a challenge in itself.

This is our ride itinerary. I look forward to the journey, cycling through this beautiful country that we live in, meeting fellow cyclists, the sore legs and backside. Thanks to everyone who has supported me. #RedShieldRide #RedShieldAppeal

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.

The initial Kids Tri program completed in April 2018. It was great to see how far each participant had progressed over the 10 weeks both in skill and fitness. The best compliment we received was how much each kid looks forward to training each week and can it continue over winter. We do need to break over Winter but the Spring 2018 program will start on 12 September 2018. This will be a 10 week program, but there will be a break during the School Holidays.

Throughout the program it was great to see and hear about participants doing well at the school sporting events in particular making Zone and State Swimming carnivals and State Cross Country Carnivals, with participants making significant improvements on previous years placings. This is down to consistency in Training.

We did finish the season with a duathlon at training with a chance to put the skills into practice. We also attended Tri Pink at Maroubra with great results placing in the top 4 place getters or above. Our last event was the NSTC (Northern Suburbs Triathlon Club) Obstathlon event, which was more of a focus on fun and participation, but the Trifocus team did shine through putting in strong performances.

We look forward to preparing for our next training block and look forward to adding more participants to the team.
