Happy FriYAY Team!

And just like that, the school holidays are coming to an end! Yippee say parents!! Boo say teachers & kids LOL! 

During the school holidays, I know the Cookie Clan are so much more relaxed & casual in our day to day routines as there is no drop offs, pickups or being an after school taxi service! The days working from home are longer with less interruptions....well except for kids that are forever bored, hungry and of course, apparently there is never any food in the house....insert rolling eyes emoji here LOL!!

So next week as kids head to school in new uniforms, clean shoes & fresh haircuts, we are back into our family routine again. I know for the 1st week as we readjust to our hectic lives there is going to be more stress and pressure, and its weeks like this where we just have to roll with it and do what we can until we find out groove again. 

I hate missing my training sessions, however there are some times when we just have to let some things slide through to the keeper for the sake of peace, harmony & alleviating mental mayhem! 

For our families who are readjusting to life next week, i hear you all! Be sure to put your family & your sanity 1st, don't stress about sessions which arent going to happen, because in the big scheme of life, a day of calm over chaos is always be the best outcome!

Find your Fire,

Last Sunday, the some of the Team hit start lines at Robina Tri. Given the water quality, wind & heat down there on Sunday, all of our athletes should be really proud of their efforts at Robina, a job well done all-round. 

Entries are open for the Port Mac Run Festival on Sunday 3rd March. A few of the team are making the drive down for this event. There is a number of options available, so if your keen, have a think about this one & check out the website!

Entries are now OPEN for Port Mac 2024....so who is in and for what distances? Had FOMO this year.....then don't miss out being part of the action next year!

SATURDAY 27th January - Australia Day Celebration

Aussie Aussie Aussie.....Oi Oi Oi! What a better way to celebrate Australia Day than a run at Main Beach parkrun, a swim in the surf and breakfast by the beach...now thats pretty darn Aussie!! 

We all know the course at Main Beach, it will be nice to get off the concrete & hit the trails along the Spit. There will be a group run before hand, details TBA. 

MultisportGOLD is all about community and encouraging members to push (safely) individual limits and become stronger athletes.

With the new 2023-2024 Triathlon season kicking off on 1st July 2023, NOW is the time to start logging in your race results. Every parkrun, every race is worth valuable points, so be in it to win and lets see how is going to be our new Club Male & Female Champions!

We have modified the points system, and make sure you know the rules, we are making the Club Championship to fully acknowledge the commitment and effort required by all MultisportGOLD athletes in getting to the start line and completing any one of the event categories. So it doesn't matter if your a triathlete, or a runner, this series is inclusive for us all!

It is super easy to log your points. Just head to the website here. Simply fill in the tabs and you're on your way! 

Sunday Rides with the weather warming up & the sun rising early, our Summer rides now start at 5.30am, rolling out from Ox Lake as usual. 

Sunday Cruisers will be in search of some rollers and kms in the legs. The group can make a decision on where they will head, thanks to the Lovely Linda for her input into this group. 

LONG COURSE will be heading back to one of our favourite & much missed rides over recent years, The Springers- Nerang loop. This is a very tough ride, it will be hot, and there is limited refill points on this ride so ensure you have plenty of fluid & nutrition. The plan is to split into 2 groups with various group re-groups along the way.  

Swim Squad is on Tuesday & Thursday at Coomera Anglican Aquatic Centre. Please arrive by 5.20am to go through the session and be in the water by 5.30am

Tuesday Track is at Griffith Uni. We will be starting warm ups at 5.30pm with a 6.00pm for the main set. 

Thursday Hills will make a return in February.
