WELCOME
Welcome to Greggo's Tri Chat! 🚀🏊‍♂️🚴‍♂️🏃‍♂️ Hi everyone, and a huge welcome to the group! I'm Greg McDermott, your coach with Koa Sports, and I'm thrilled you've joined us here on Skool. This community is all about connecting our athletes—whether you're a beginner building your first tri, chasing age-group podiums, qualifying for Worlds, or simply loving the swim-bike-run lifestyle. It's a space to share training wins (and those tough sessions), ask questions, get feedback, discuss races, and support each other on the journey to better performance. A few quick things to get started: - INTRODUCE YOURSELF in the comments below or in the "New Members" thread—tell us your name, where you're based, your main goals for 2026, and what you're most excited (or nervous) about right now. Let's get to know each other! - Jump into discussions, post your training logs, race reports, or questions—your input drives this place! - I am piloting this as part of your coaching subscription over the next few months, so please share your feedback, ideas, and what you'd love to see here. We're building this together as a supportive tribe, and I can't wait to see the energy, breakthroughs, and friendships that come from it. You've got big goals ahead—let's smash them as a team. Drop a quick intro or wave hello below. Looking forward to chatting! Greggo Again, WELCOME to the team
Daytime sleep
Guys, I would like to know your experience with daytime naps. Guys, I'd love to hear your experiences with naps. I usually wake up early and just fall asleep for 30 minutes or an hour by midday. Share your experience. I hope I'm not the only one
Snack Ideas!
Hey team! So I’m a bit bored of my current snack rotation (trail mix/nuts, muesli bars, Greek yoghurt, homemade choc chip cookies) 🫣 does anyone have any ideas or favourites I can steal?
UPDATE ON THIS WEEKS CALL
Hi team! Sorry for the late notice but I won’t be able to make the call tomorrow night. Back in next week after my trip to Perth. Train strong!

Don't Blindly Follow TP in 40°C Heat – Smart Adjustments to ensure you survive the HEAT 🔥💧
With temperatures soaring towards 40°C (and even pushing close to 50°C in parts of inland NSW, QLD, and SA right now) across Australia this week, it's a timely reminder to be smart about your training! 🔥🌡️ Simply "following" your TrainingPeaks schedule blindly won't cut it in extreme heat, your performance will suffer, recovery will drag, and it can have significant knock-on effects for future sessions (higher perceived effort, increased injury risk, or even heat-related issues). Here are some practical tweaks to implement over the coming days to stay safe, strong, and on track: - Timing is everything ⏰ Shift sessions earlier—start (and finish) rides/runs an hour or two sooner to dodge the peak heat. Early mornings are gold right now! - Shuffle the deck 🔄 Flexible is key. Move a swim to the hottest part of the day/week if it makes sense, or swap priorities. Avoid stacking hard runs back-to-back—give your body a breather to manage cumulative heat stress. - Hydration & electrolytes on point 💧⚡ Water alone isn't enough—replenish sodium and fluids aggressively. Dehydration hits performance in the current session AND carries over. Walking around constantly sipping on electrolytes in your stanley bottle might actually be appropriate here. - Go indoor when possible 🚴‍♂️🏠 If you've got a trainer, shift the bike session inside and drop volume by ~20%. You'll still hit similar TSS (Training Stress Score), but staying cooler preserves energy and reduces overall strain. Bonus: easier to control hydration indoors! - Refuel like a pro post-session 🍌🥤 Heat ramps up calorie burn (regulating body temp costs extra energy) and pulls more water/salt out. Nail carbs, protein, and fluids right after to kickstart recovery and be ready for the next one. Stay tuned to how your body feels—listen to it over the plan. If you're feeling off (dizzy, excessive fatigue, nausea), cut it short and recover. An orange light here and there in TP will not ruin your race in 3 months time....I promise.
