In the coming weeks we will be teaming up with @steph.vdbruggen and @gpc_squad Squad to offer Triathlon Coaching. Our triathlon coaching is focused on athletes who want to maximise their time and performance by following a program tailored to their individual goals. Our programs are created by an experienced and qualified coach who is dedicated to achieving a balance between sport and work/ family commitments. Our coaches have done it all themselves and share over 50 years of triathlon experience! We all know it can be hard to motivate yourself to get out of bed on a dark morning to complete a session. Having a program to follow and a coach to rely on is a great help and our coaching staff will be available to answer your questions 7 days a week from 6am until 8pm. We will be running group sessions every week at the gym and different locations around Warrnambool and you can attend casual sessions for free whenever you are in Geelong. Give us a trial for 2 weeks at NO COST. 🏊‍♂️🚴‍♀️🏃‍♂️Triathlon is not just a sport its a lifestyle.

Graham Leeson. With 10h29min, Graham was only 43sec away from guessing Zoe's #IMkona finishing time. Well done Graham. Your sponsor's pack will be sent in the mail.

Last year at @ironmanasiapac New-Zealand things did not go my way so I decided to become a domestique on the run to help Nicole Robertson get to #IMKONA and she did. This was an amazing experience to share with an awesome athlete, person and friend. I am so glad I did not pull out or I would have missed out on this great life and coaching moment. What does this tell you about Ironman? That even if things don't go your way, if you don't give up, you can always turn things and even your race around to make the race a memorable moment. Good luck to all racing #imnz in Taupo tomorrow, especially to Mark Upton, our only GPC member racing and remember to #nevergiveup Race safe 🏊🏻🚴🏻🏃🏻 #gpcsquad #represent #IMTAUPO #trainspecific #racebetter #lovewhatyoudo #roadtokona #triathlon #ironman #nolimits (at Taupo, New Zealand)

It is very important to recover after a training camp. You push the body to its limits for 5 to 15 days usually and if you don't rest after you may be undoing all the hard work of the camp or in some rare cases, you may be suffering with any of the following or with a nasty combo of chronic fatigue, insomnia, inability to train, loss of appetite, irritability, raised heart rate, poor running performance, ongoing illness, depression and weakness. You need the let the body and the mind heal and recover. Hard training means muscle damage, hormonal changes and a different calorie intake to adjust to. So this morning, we just went for a coffee ride. Learn to know where that limit is and rest up. Don't get to a over trained status as it can be hard to recover from mentally and physically and can also send your fitness levels a few weeks back. Be clever, plan for recovery unless you are experienced enough to listen to your body and the warning signs.

All the detailed results will be in #gpcworld tomorrow. 1st - Jarron Cole M25-29 & Stacey McCain Anthena 2nd - Coach Kate F30-34, John Steklenburg 2nd M55-59, Natalie Hughes 2nd F40-49 (Active Feet) 3rd - Sarah Lester F Elite, Shari Livingston F25-29, Peri Payne F35-39 4th - Oscar Hynes M15-19, Graham Tedoldi M55-59, Kat Hindle F25-29 I also did put in a photo montage of Coach Peri simply for being a legend.

Well, there won’t be much work or training for me for at least a week. Now there is a big chance I will need surgery on my 4th Metacarpal tomorrow as the break is not clean & one of my finger is crooked.

This week, we welcome Cassie Moss, a lovely chick always wanting to push the limits further. She has gone a long way under the wing of Coach Kate and ended 3rd on Sunday in her AG at the 2XU Triathlon Series in the STD distance. You are doing awesome Cass and there is much more to come from you. A bit about her: I completed my first triathlon last year and got hooked immediately. I came from a strong ocean water swimming and train running background so my main challenge has been to learn to ride a road bike. I decided to join GPC this year so that I could meet heaps of like-minded people and be constantly pushed in order to improve. I love trying new things and challenging myself therefore currently I am training for the Geelong 70.3 Ironman in February. Cannot wait to see you race at Geelong 70.3.
