Midlands, UK-based Absolute Triathlon Coaching officially launched its brand new race team on Saturday 19 March at the Dambuster Duathlon, which took place at Rutland Water.
The race team is a new initiative from Absolute and is open to all the company’s private coaching clients, regardless of ability, and will provide athletes with a comprehensive support package usually only associated with professional race teams.
This includes sponsored race kit, sports testing, training days, physiotherapy support and injury rehabilitation.
Head Coach Steve Lloyd said “We are constantly looking at ways to add value to our clients’ experience of triathlon and have been developing the race team project for some time working with potential partners and sponsors.
“We’re excited about making this fantastic opportunity available to all our clients, especially as it will be incredibly motivating for our novice athletes to have this level of provision.”
The race team athletes will also be invited to exclusive, complimentary training days where they can access a full range of services including swim analysis, drill and technique sessions for running, bike skills and injury prevention sessions delivered by physiotherapists.
Absolute Coach Nick Dunn added “We have already completed two successful training days at Nottingham University prior to the launch and plan to repeat them every few months. With the race team launching imminently it was essential to get everyone talking together and bonding as a team.
“The great thing about these days is that our clients range from novice to successful age group triathletes so they can be really inspirational, in fact a few of our clients will go elite shortly.”
Although the basic benefits can be accessed by all, athletes competing at a high level will be rewarded with a premium package of additional sponsored support, details of which will be announced shortly.
