It’s that time of year when your inbox is flooded with tips on New Year’s resolutions, diet suggestions, and ideas on how to make a fresh start. I know that keeping your resolutions can be difficult, so instead, why not choose an exciting goal for 2014 that you can stick to? The best goals are SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Time sensitive).
Why not set yourself a SMART triathlon goal for 2014?
Trigirl is very proud to be sponsoring up-and-coming British Elite triathlete, Katie Jemima Synge, as one of our 2014 ambassadors.
Katie saw success in modern pentathlon as well as running and horse riding before taking up triathlon in 2011. She is now living in Loughborough, home of British Triathlon’s National Performance Centre, and racing as a Senior Elite for Great Britain.
We look forward to following Katie’s progress throughout the season and wish her the best! We’ll keep you posted with updates from Katie in the new year.

1. Olympus Trisuit Premium Package
Our top-level trisuit in a discounted bundle! Our best-selling Trigirl Olympus is now available in a money saving package together with coordinated race belt, gym bag, elastic laces and a 12 week training plan for £119.

Do you lack confidence on the bike? Or maybe you had an amazing triathlon season and you’re considering cycle racing? Want to meet other female cyclists who are feeling the same way?
British Cycling is offering a series of four sessions this autumn, aimed at developing women cyclists of all levels. Sessions are aimed at all women road cyclists looking to improve their skills and knowledge and will be delivered by qualified British Cycling coaches.
Each session will be divided into three groups, arranged by level; focusing on bike handling skills, group/close riding, teamwork, set pieces, fun race scenarios and coach-led racing.
If you’ve registered for a triathlon, you probably know that you have to swim, bike, and run. But how do you manage to go from one to the other? What is this mystery known as triathlon transitions?
Transition isn’t difficult, but it is something worth learning about and practising. In our latest Trigirl article, we help to demystify transition to help you achieve an amazing and stress-free race!
With the ITU World Triathlon Grand Final being held in London this week and the triathlon race calendar winding down, the 2013 triathlon season is sadly drawing to a close. That doesn’t mean that we’ll be forgetting about triathlon for the next few months – and you shouldn’t, either!
While we’re busily working away on our exciting new collection for 2014, it’s time for you to start thinking about 2014, too. Believe it or not, some of the more popular races are already selling out, so it might be worth considering your race schedule earlier rather than later!
If you’d like to race throughout the winter, there are plenty of runs, off-road races and triathlon alternatives out there. Check out the Tri247 events calendar for ideas and links. Also see our past articles on Autumn and Winter training for tips! And remember: there’s no bad weather, just bad gear, so as you think about layering up for the winter, be sure to pick up our cosy armwarmers and headscarves.
Finally, keep up with Trigirl over the colder months through our newsletter, which we will continue to send monthly, and of course, on Facebook and Twitter (and our online shop is open, no matter the weather!)
Enjoy your recovery and stay warm. Well done this season!
We’re adding another amazing Premium Package, designed to help you get everything you need to train and race, at a great price!
Trigirl’s latest Premium Package is our Shine Swim Package, complete with our high-tech Shine swimsuit, a Trigirl logo swim hat, Trigirl drawstring gym bag, and a 17-session swim training plan from British Triathlon Level 3 coach, Beate Vogt. The sessions are laminated for stay-dry poolside use. They are perfect for now or to provide inspiring workout sessions through the autumn and winter months!
Your swim training has just gotten a little easier (or at least your swim shopping has!)
This summer, Sporty Spice, Melanie C, has certainly lived up to her Spice Girls nickname!
Mel competed in both the Human Race Women’s Only Triathlon in June and the Virgin Active London Triathlon in July, and in both races she wore Trigirl Olympus trisuits! Not only that, but she proudly clocked her personal best time at the London race. In Mel’s own words via Twitter: ‘Beat my PB in my @TrigirlUK tri suit today. Thank you ladies xxx’
It’s great to know that our trisuits looked great and performed well – just like we promise!
We wish Mel success in her upcoming training for the Great North Run in September (she doesn’t rest!) and look forward to seeing her back in Trigirl when she starts training for her next triathlon.
Trigirl will be hosting a stand at The Virgin Active London Triathlon EXPO, this weekend the 27th and 28th of July. The Expo is free to enter (even if you’re not racing) and will feature educational triathlon talks, swim technique analysis, expert nutritional advice… and Trigirl kit discounts only available at the Expo!
Come by for great discounts and the chance to win an exclusive Trigirl Premium Swim Package, including our high-tech Shine swimsuit, a Trigirl logo swim hat, Trigirl drawstring gym bag, and a swim training plan.
