Saturday Sessions & Reminders

Saturday Sessions (adding 4 weeks of cycle+run training)

I know many of us BRSers are competing in the Noosa Triathlon this year, some for the first time.
So a great suggestion by Matty C... lets offer an opportunity for brick training, which is combining two of the triathlon discipline - cycle + run. A great way to practice transitions, so bring your bike along!!
