Club Champs
Race 3 - Rose Bay Clubhouse
Club Champs is so much fun! We have 6 x Club event races for the year and we take your best 3 results to see who are the Club Champs in each gender and age group. Each event is 10km and the course is picked the day before to put you in the best spot.
The first race you do you cant win. We gather your moving time and the next races you do you recieve a handicap start time based off your moving time. We then have a race where we know everyones moving time and we handicap everyone so that the entire field finish with a 100m sprint at the end.
We laugh and support each other with everyone enjoying the cafe hangout afterwards. Each event you can see your progression versus yourself and others.
We encourage you to come and have a go!

Anaerobic Threshold
When we start to move our body it produces a by-product called lactic acid, at lower exercise intensity there's plenty of oxygen in our body and the oxygen is what helps clear out that lactic acid. As you start to increase the intensity of your workout and you start to paddle faster and exert yourself more, the amount of lactic acid starts to "pool up" in your body and then the body cant remove the lactic acid. This build up of too much lactic acid causes you to fatigue, which makes you slow down.
