Mini T-shirt Of The Month!
Another great supporter of 26 spotted! Love to see these in people's cars - one of the best ways to support us!
So far we've had in the car, teddy bears, and Christmas trees - what's next?! Kit
There'll be some upcoming changes to the kit - we'll be simplifying the designs and rotating through what's on offer each year. Head over and order any design you want before they may disappear for a while!

Most important part of cycling is having some basic skills to keep you as safe as possible on two wheels! In the sessions we practice gears, braking, balance, co-ordination, turns, and as you can see from the photo - how to cycle in wet conditions! Get involved - CIS on Saturdays 10:30-11:45am. All you need is a bike and a helmet. As long as you can stay on the bike you are welcome!

Aquathlon - The Water Is Almost Warm Enough!
We've had great fun developing our strength on the beach with all the sand running whilst the water has been too cold to swim. We are almost to the point of diving back into that lovely Repulse Bay. Aquathlon season is almost upon us - first race is in May!

Cold Half - Dream Team
Love to see so many 26 athletes willing to test the frigid Repulse waters at the Cold Half - huge number of podiums, and the perfect way to wish good luck to Miu as she makes her way to University in Australia.
Motivational Video - Phelps In Beijing
Michael Phelps in Beijing - the greatest swimmer ever.
8 Races, 8 Gold Medals, 8 World Records. One of the greatest sporting achievements in history. Chills every time we watch this one. Hit the button to watch! Hello Old Friends!
One of our favourite things is when athletes who have moved overseas visit and drop back into the sessions like they never left! Nice to see Vivi and Coco, much taller than when they left, twice in the week they were in HK!
Secret Diary Entries
Great diary entry sent to us by a parent of one of our youngest running athletes. A true 26 supporter!
Long Term Gains
Not everyday will feel good - it's important to remember that those small ups and downs that are natural to everyone aren't the end of the world! The further out we look from the smoother the line of progression will look - keep up the good work.
Get Back To Two Bottles Early!
Let's get into the habit of bringing two bottles to track sessions again, before the temp gets up to the point where we need to. One water, one electrolyte based drink for teenagers and above. Pure water is enough for the younger athletes.
How Allergies Affect Sleep
Another great sleep podcast - how allergens affect your sleep and how you can to fix them. Learnt some new things in this one - definitely worth a listen for everyone.
