Easter training in Victoria

G'day All,

I am back in Victoria training in the lead upto Easter just over 5weeks away now. I will be using Easter as a start to the season mini peak (as it is a woc selection race) and will be organising a few extra training sessions for myself and the two athlete's I coach (Bryan and Leon Keely). If your interested in joining into any of our plans your more than welcome. Some of the training's will be mid-week which will not be possible for alot of you, but I have noted down our weekend's leading upto Easter.

More details will be posted the week before each weekend or feel free to contact me.
