Hi All,
Exceed Triathlon Club has made it through its first year and is looking forward to its second year of existence. From the outset the club was formed for athletes wanting to improve their own performances. With Exceed it’s simple, train hard and smart, test yourself and race.
Club Championships will be a big focus this year and we will be going with the purpose to win both the trophies on offer, Fastest Club ( which we won last year ) and overall Champion Club. We will be dedicating the race to Wade Kelly who lost his battle with depression and also bringing the very common problem out in the open within the club. I do not wish to bury another good friend. We are looking for all Exceed athletes to race this event.
Exceed has athletes this year going to World Championships in China, Las Vegas and Hawaii, and next year with the World Olympic and Sprint Distance Champs in New Zealand there should quite a few wanting to go there. We of course have the Triathlon WA racing season which Exceed athletes dominated in, and plan to again.
Swim training will be as normal in the morning and in the evening squads. In addition we will be starting a higher end evening swim squad for athletes who need that little bit more.
Bike sessions on Tuesday and Thursday will now be more open and available to more athletes. These sessions are known to be high end and the athletes who train them know the commitment needed. Saturday bike rides are out of the North Side Car Park at the Narrows on Mounts Bay rd. Theses bikes rides are open to all and will have a variety of rides going out depending on our racing schedule and the athletes ability.
Run sessions are being conducted by Brad Hoskins on Tuesday night at the Challenge track and Raf Baugh on Thursday at Yokine Reserve. These are interval sessions.
Overall we have a great training program and Exceeds on the day race tent is the envy of all other clubs.
We look forward to training and racing with you in the 2011/12 season.
