Snowy Mountains Retreat: 19-21 Feb 2021

Join us for our first BEXI retreat of 2021 in the stunning Snowy Mountains – the outdoor adventure playground for the summer.

We are super-excited to be hosting our first ever retreat in the Snowy Mountains, which offers world-class trails for walking, running, mountain biking, road cycling, swimming and horse riding. The weekend also coincides with one of the most scenic trail runs in Australia.

Activities

Whatever takes your fancy – the Snowies has the playground to meet your needs:

Trail Running – Join our BEXI trail running team and take part in the Snowies Trail Run Festival – choose from 5km to 50k Ultra. There is also an event for the kids.
Hiking – Explore the Snowies from the ground up with our abundance of spectacular bush walks or challenge yourself to summiting Mount Kosciuszko.
Road Cycling – The quality of road surfaces and minimal summer time traffic, epic climbs and tranquillity of the Kosciuszko National Park, make road riding breathtaking.
Mountain Biking – Get in gear and ride through some of Australia’s most spectacular landscapes – from high plains, alpine valleys, forest paths and Gravity Parks.
Horse Riding – Ride the land of the mountain horsemen, brumbies, wildflowers and alpine wilderness – you can even follow in the footsteps of the Man from Snowy River.
Food & Drink – If you’re looking to kick back and relax – take in the burgeoning food scene that celebrates local producers and seasonal ingredients.
Accommodation

Our 2-night retreat is located at the stunning Yalara Alpine Ski Lodge in the Perisher Valley. Yalara has accommodation for up to 24 people in nine rooms spread across two levels. Accommodation costs are kept to a minimum as guests do their own cooking in a communal kitchen. Blankets are provided in the bedrooms, however guests must bring their own sheets (or sleeping bags) and towels. Five rooms have their own en-suite bathrooms, while the other rooms share bathrooms.

Kurnell Sprint Triathlon – 24 Nov 2019

New to triathlon? Or secretly keen to give triathlon a go? We have the perfect one for you – the Kurnell Sprint. Swim in Botany Bay, ride through the Kamay National Park and run an amazing piece of Sydney parkland. 

 

Our 10-week training program is aimed at supporting the beginner/novice triathlete set a goal of participating in Sydney’s must-do triathlon – the Kurnell Sprint on Sunday 24 November 2019. We offer a supportive environment, where members feel encouraged, motivated and very much part of our BEXI (Beauty of Exercise) family.

We train together as a team, as this offers a great sense of camaraderie between fellow triathlete buddies.  Most of our training sessions are coached sessions, however there are a few sessions that will need to be completed on your own (or with your buddies).

Can I really do a Sprint Triathlon?

We are committed to supporting and encouraging all members who are keen to participate in our programs. As a guideline, we have set some prerequisites to support your journey.

Do I need to be a good Swimmer?

Most beginner triathletes are not particularly good swimmers.  If you can swim between 400m continuously in the ocean pool, then you have the foundation for progressing to open water swimming. Our BEXI Swim Coach will introduce you to open-water swim skills, including breathing techniques, form and endurance building.  The biggest surprise for beginner triathletes is that they learn to love swimming. On the Northern Beaches, we have access to the best beaches for open water swimming.

What Gear do I need?

You don’t need to spend a bunch of money on triathlon-specific gear to do a triathlon. The most important thing about the gear you use for a triathlon is comfort. The biggest investment is your bicycle. Most beginner triathletes use a hybrid or mountain bike for their first triathlon. You can then progress to an entry-level road bike – after which your love-affair for a fancy-pants road bike will begin. We’ve compiled a beginners-list of the gear you need for each discipline.

What is included?
  • 10-week online training program
  • 40 x coached training sessions
  • 1 x race simulation session
  • Mental skills and strategies
  • Race nutrition and recovery
  • Race tactics and guidance
  • Analysis and feedback on training data
  • Race day logistics
  • Motivational support

Ironman 70.3 Sunshine Coast – 8 Sept 2019

Our absolute favourite long-distance triathlon! Ironman 70.3 Sunshine Coast offers the best of triathlon in Australia – energising sunshine, stunning coastline, lush landscape and awesome crowd support. That’s why we keep going back for more… and in 2019 we’d love you to join us! 

The 1.9km swim takes place at Mooloolaba’s spectacular surf beach – starting and finishing at the ‘Loo with a View’.  Cheering crowds await you as you exit transition for the 90km cycle-leg which heads out onto the Sunshine Coast Motorway – it’s fast and smooth with a few undulations. Finally, the 21km run takes in the iconic Mooloolaba Esplanade for a 2-lap run following the coastline. The crowd support is sensational!

If you’re a seasoned triathlete who has completed a few standard-distance triathlons – this event is definitely for you.

 About our Program

Our programs are always build on the foundation of having FUN!

We start our 16-week Tri-FIT program on Mon 20 May 2019. The program is structured into periodised blocks focused on base, build, peak & taper phases. Each week we will complete training sessions for all three disciplines – swim, bike and run. We train together as a team, as this offers encouragement, motivation, accountability for showing up and a great sense of camaraderie between fellow triathlete buddies.  Most of these sessions are coached sessions, however there are a few sessions that will need to be completed on your own (or with your buddies).

You will receive your own online training plan sent to you each week via Training Peaks. Our aim is to customise each individual training plan so that it fits in with your lifestyle. We feel very strongly that your training is balanced with your family and work commitments.

“Ironman 70.3 Sunny Coast was a challenging race. I looked at the ocean that morning and the big challenge ahead and felt excitement.  I wasn’t the same hesitant woman as last year.  I swam through a rough ocean, rode a bike through the rain and ran for a long time.  When not long ago, that was all a dream for me.  I still smile when I think of that day.  It has changed my perspective on myself, my capabilities and life.
