Triathlete Education Workshops
The PTC Coaching Team is delighted to announce three triathlete education workshops. The workshops will take place on Monday nights at Mount Batten Centre during the October recovery period that all us triathletes should be embarking on. The sessions are free to members of the club. Other guests (family, friends, etc) are asked to contribute a £2 to the club funds.
The workshops will be aimed at developing triathletes but will also be of benefit to more experienced athetes. They will take the forum of a short presentation and group discussion, followed by practical examples. Handouts may be supplied, but we would advise you to bring paper and a pen to make notes.
The subjects being present are:
The Basics of Triathlon (topics will include; selection of equipment, transitions, event profiling (sprint, standard, middle and long distance), preparation before race, during race, pace judgement, fuelling, etc.) – 1st October – 7pm to 8.30pm
Bike Maintenance/Set-up (topics will include; bike equipment advice (e.g. I have a budget of £1000 –what do I choose), bike set-up, adapting road bike for triathlon, setting up tri-bars, checking bike, regular maintenance, road side/emergency repairs) – 8th October – 7pm to 8.30pm
Periodisation and Race Planning (topics will include; life style audit, goal setting, training objectives, Long Term Athletic Development, yearly plans, phases, prioritizing races, keeping a training log, weekly plans, recovery, peaking, tapering, etc..) – 15th October – 7pm to 8.30pm
If there are any specific topics you would like covering during these workshops please contact Julian by 10th September on julianwills@britishtriathlon.org
Plymouth Tri Club kit for Christmas
For all those wondering what to tell you family and friends to get you this Christmas, why not ask for some new PTC racing or training kit. Adam will be making a group order at the end of October, which will be back with you by Christmas.
This season has seen the club colours displayed all over the country, at events both home and abroad. The kit is supplied at cost and is manufactured by Imp Sport, official suppliers to the Great Britain Cycling team. The PTC kit designs will remain the same for next season, and can be viewed on the club website.
