Happy FriYAY Team!

Well, what a weekend down in Devonport! I was so fortunate to meet some of the countries high performance coaches, attend the elite athlete briefing as well as witnessing some incredible racing by  the  Juniors, U23 & Elites. 

It got me thinking about how important it is to get out of our bubble, our comfort zone. If we want to achieve things in our lives and sports, we need to be courageous enough to go exploring. 

We can repeat what we do year after year and wonder why we make no gains. We can do what we did last week over & over and wonder why we get bored. We can enter the same races season after season and don't see the rewards from our training.

Some of the athletes racing on the weekend were lapped out, were last in their events, blew up on the run because they rode too hard or didn't execute the race they wanted....but credit to them for getting on start lines out of their comfort zones! Racing some of those high profile athletes is very daunting!

I love seeing our athletes chasing goals and wanting to achieve, we have so many races in the upcoming weeks it is so exciting to see all the hard work paying off......or lessons learnt for next time. 

To those racing over the coming weeks, trust that this is leading you somewhere incredible. Go exploring outside what you think you are capable of, this is how we grow and ultimately succeed.

Yes, YOU are stronger than YOU think.

So I said it a few weeks ago, we have a few months of stacked racing....and this weekend we are all systems GO! 

Saturday we have 3 of our amazing trail runners hitting the start line at Noosa. In the 50km we have Timmy and Tricia! Both are in fine form and will have cracking races. Then our Ultra Queen Erin is frothing for the 80km Ultra. This is a challenging course, but we know how gutsy Erin is, so go get em girl! 

Sunday way out in the wild wild west is Hell of the West! A race not for the faint hearted, and conditions this weekend are shaping up to be hot hot & hot! Kath, Pete, Bangers are good to GO, with Renee & Mashy in the teams event. And not to forget our Juniors, we have Harriet & Annie racing on Saturday!!! Coach Alli is heading out in the role of a Technical Official, so we really do have all bases covered this weekend LOL!

And.....then heading down south we have Martin racing Geelong 70.3. This is a great course, an awesome race venue, and I know Linda is excited to be part of the spectator atmosphere! Martin is looking to secure a slot for 70.3 Worlds, so go hard Martin!

So we tried a few times to head out to J for Junee, but the planets didn't align at the right times for this one.....so....we are going to jump over to the other side of the highway to Coomera and try out the NEW Gainsborough Parklands course. YIPEE. This is a fast & flat course, with plenty of parking !!! 

Lets make this another adventure out for our crew, support the new course, and of course, we will search out the best local cafe for breakkie and coffee afterwards
