From our coach Andy
Hi Everyone, another stunning September weekend with more on the forecast ahead.
With the end of the biggest non-season coming to an end, I thought it might be a nice idea to try and complete one last club virtual race – in-line with Ironman VR 24 on Sunday 20th of Sept . This is a good end of year event: 20minute swim, 40minute bike and 30minute run – you stop your clock at the right time and make sure distance is recorded. The plan would be to book your swim slot at Bray Lake, as normal, on Sunday morning for around 8am and all start/finish at pretty much the same time. In order to do this, I need to contact Bray, as a courtesy, so if you fancy coming to take part then please let me know via this link: https://fb.me/e/37kMCclrW
Training otherwise is starting to look towards the possible winter events, currently focussed on BallBuster in November. Chris D has kindly put together a plan on training peaks, anyone wanting to join should contact him @Chris Dollimore to be added to the program. We await to hear any further news about other events, but rest assured I have plenty of ideas up my sleeve already!
BTS Yoga has moved to a Monday evening, 8-9pm with Louise. This is a great opportunity to stretch out those muscles from the week of training and prepare for the one ahead. Where possible, sessions will be matched to the program to develop flexibility and strength exactly where and when we need it. Join online by clicking here
Barbara is kind enough to invite any BTS members to her Monday morning Pilates class, online from 8:15 am.
