To continue our celebrations for our 10 year anniversary we Flashback to year 2015.
It’s hard with so many highlights but these two standout for us
Ironman Barcelona - fantastic day out with great support crews shared with many members of the Guernsey 🇬🇬 Triathlon club, some who were coached by us.
Andrea Nightingale became the first Tri Fit member to represent GB 🇬🇧 in Triathlon at the World Championships in Chicago.
Great times 😊

If you ever need any inspiration and you live in Guernsey.
Head down to Rocquaine Bay this Sunday to support our "TEAM GUERNSEY🇬🇬' Triathlon squad in the Island Games.
Arguably the strongest ever team to represent Guernsey 🇬🇬 in Triathlon, including former Tri athletes Amy, Dave and Chloe, along with Thierry and Chris from our Swim Smooth program
The hopes of medals are high, but the team DO NEED YOUR SUPPORT to get them over the line.
We wish the TEAM 🇬🇬 the best of luck and hope the day is memorable for all of them.

WOW!! A little anniversary today! 10 years ago today,
TRI FITNESS was born!
A chance to reflect whilst writing this and cannot believe how quickly the last 10 years have gone. During that time, we had the Gym, which was sold in 2020 and the introduction of Swim Smooth Channel Islands in 2015, which has seen over 350 members swim with us. Not forgetting from day one, Triathlon Coaching, started off with just a locally-based training squad, which has now evolved to coaching many overseas athletes during that time right across Europe to as far as Bahrain.
For us, It's all about the people. We've seen new friendship groups form from being a part of the TRI FITNESS Community. We've been so fortunate to have met so many great people over the years and been a part of many personal journeys, sharing all the emotions alongside this whether it was completing their First Ironman, Novice Triathlon, or simply just learning to Swim.
People do come and go and their own journeys continue but on another pathway. What doesn't change is the memories we hold are special, and those friendships remain.
Over the next few days, I will share some flashback memories of the achievements of our present and past members. Today's photo is from 2014 and the Squad first's trip to Jersey Triathlon.
We just wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone who has supported us throughout the 10 years!
Have a great weekend, and thank you all again for your support! 🙂
For many of us, any event/race we do, we have a reason for wanting to do it.
For Michelle, it's been an extremely tough last 2 years. Her partner Mark, a very good triathlete who could achieve sub 5 hours for 70.3 races and sub 11 hours for Ironmans, unexpectedly took his own life.
Mental health is there daily, but most choose not to discuss it.
One of Mark's scheduled events to participate in was "The Lakesman" 70.3 Triathlon before he died by suicide.
In his memory, his partner Michelle took on "The Lakesman". With no Triathlon experience, Michelle wanted to finish and raise money for the Men’s Mental Health charity called CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably).
There were some ups and downs along the way, including a Hospital visit not too far from Race Day. The brave woman she is, Michelle got herself to the start line and finished the journey Mark had started.
In Michelle's words, "I'm not a Swimmer, not a cyclist and but I am a runner, " she was far from happy with her run time come race day. She set out on a mission, and Mark would have been so proud to see her give it her all and complete it.
The photo on the finish line with her Son Toby and Daughter Abi says it all.
These are the proud moments you love to see as a Coach. The messages you see post-race make it all worthwhile, but I wish one other person would have been there to share that experience with Michelle.
All Coaching fees were donated straight to the CALM Charity during this journey.
If you would like to donate, please use the following link.

David never ceases to amaze me. He came to us 6 months ago with an ambition to represent GB in Triathlon, having only tried the sport for the first time last year.
In those 6 months, David has followed a structured program, taken onboard advice and learnt many more new skills. David not only qualified for the Worlds but also ticked off European qualification in his first two attempts.
Amazing work David 🙂

Improving race by race squad athlete Peter in his own words post-race at the weekend, “I’m starting to get use to this Triathlon business.”
Peter executed his race plan, competing in an event with distances between standard and half Ironman distance.
Well done Peter 👊🏻

This Phenomenal athlete, Cat, has been a busy person at recent weekends.
First off, taking 1st place in the Cholmondey Castle Sprint Duathlon. Having already represented GB this year, Cat is undoubtedly finding her feet in Duathlons. Cat came 8th overall, finishing nearly 2mins ahead of 2nd place and 9mins ahead of 3rd place woman.
Next challenge Ultra Wales 🏴 . So with 52 miles, 12,000 ft elevation, Cat took just under 15 hours to finish in joint 13th place.
Excellent work Cat 🙂

🔥ARE YOU A BEGINNER SWIMMER?🔥
Due to the natural progression of our swimmers onto our other Swim sessions, we now have places available for Our successful LEARN TO SWIM SQUAD.
The thoughts of one of our LEARN To SWIM Squad members after just one session:
"A few years ago, I went to an adult swim club for about a year and never got out of the beginner's lane because my legs were really low in the water and no one could tell me what to do to fix it.
I got incredibly disheartened so stopped going. Well, now I know what to do!
The last couple of lengths we did on Saturday I felt strong and like I could actually swim! Shows the importance of being strict and specific with HOW to swim, not just focus on how many lengths.
I completely appreciate the pace, the group size and the technical theory going into the Saturday sessions"

1 Speed Training = 1 Speed Forever & Ever!
Ever Wonder Why Your Open Water Pace Doesn't Pick Up Despite All The Hours You Are Doing In The Water?
Chances are you are training at one pace.
And when you train at one pace, your body and brain get used to that one pace.
If you dont train at multiple paces in your training sets, your body just won't know how to react when you try to up your speed game.
When your body is used to multiple paces in training and you have the desire to go a little bit quicker in the open water, your body will like you and give you what you have asked out of it!
Train Aerobically - coaching for steady eddy!
Train Anaerobically - posh word for fast!
And yes you will hurt a little bit as you step out of the one-speed comfort zone....but you'll love it!
Get the result you want!
Contact us to Book In Your First Session And We'll Show You What We Mean:
From the team here at Swim Smooth CI, we wish you all a very Happy Christmas!
Wow we all know what a year it's been and for us to have the chance to continue working with our members across both Guernsey and Jersey, it has been an absolute pleasure!
Have A Great Christmas Everyone!
