Let the Games Begin!

Today I once again found myself not short of a few words on the forum... oops!

Hopefully some useful stuff in there!

A sort of end has come to the winter swim sessions as priorities change. These sessions have built on last year with additional lanes new members and new coaches. Running sessions with Tim have really helped to build on the swim sessions and expand the club in a new direction, this week with an additional Transition Tips Twist! (Try saying that 5 times fast)

So I think it is safe to say winter is definetly dead Race Season is here! Yes at last swords can be drawn and blood can be spilt in the name of Victory! Ok so maybe not the swords but knife like racing machines and not so much of the blood but litres of Sweat!

But when it comes to the Victory part...

NorthDevonTri has grown beyond recognition in the past 18months or so and although for many the personal satisfaction and enjoyment of getting of that sofa is a VERY enjoyable experience. They and the competitive folk have the chance to take home the trophies this year. A few members out there are concerned and worried as they dip there toes into their first or even second season. I'm not concerned for any members (with the possible exception of Iain and Dick), training has been done and a team spirit has emerged as well with socials and group training popping up everywhere. Many of these last minute nerves are unneccessary. I think there will be some impressive performances from all members this year, nerves are part of this grasp the adrenaline and run with it. This is what we have trained, planned and spent to enjoy. Time to go have some fun!
