WORKOUT OF THE WEEK: Swimming toys: The use of pull buoys - how much should we be using them and should we kick. The advantages of swim training in a pool wearing your wet suit and what we should be looking for in a wet suit. Paddles and what to be aware of.

HOT PROPERTY INTERVIEW - BRITTA MARTIN: Britta is a German born triathlete who now lives in Nelson, NZ.  She has had a fantastic 2014 winning 3 iron distance races in Wisconsin, Taiwan and Busselton, WA where she broke the course record with an amazing 8:56:03 - the second time that Britta has won this race.
