One of the fundamental keystones for proper training, staying healthy and winning races is correct nutrition.  Whilst one can find a dizzying array of information on the internet and come to your own opinions, a sports specific briefing delivered by a professional may help to clarify some things and put you on the right track.  To that end it has been organised for a sports nutrition talk to be given at the club on the 25th of October in the front room at Vesta at 1930.  This talk is free and open to all members of the club and as such is a one time offer, don’t miss out!

The talk is being given by Matt Lovell who has been the Sports Nutritionist for the England Rugby Team since before the 2003 World Cup and has also worked with a number of professional rugby and football teams. Don’t miss out on this awesome opportunity to help you achieve your goals over the coming season.

The Vesta annual Big Breakfast will be held at the Vesta Bar after training on Saturday 24th September (probably around 11ish). This is the traditional Vesta way of kicking off the new season while helping raise money for the tea and toast which will sustain us during the long, cold, and hard winter. So please come, bring family and friends, and eat loads of yummy porridge, sausages and breakfast goodies.

The breakfast and training session will be followed by the annual 4′s Head Recce Bar Crawl. More details to follow, but suffice it to say that it will start around 2ish, and hit all the bars along the 4s Head course (i.e. Mortlake to Putney). Make sure to eat a big breakfast to line your stomaches for an afternoon of drinking which will bring us all back to the Vesta Bar…where beers buy boats!

Any questions, please get in touch with Ailsa or Alex

The competition will run from 28th Aug –4th Sept. Further details on specific heat times and dates to follow. For more information please visit: http://www.bled2011.org/

Best of luck Helen…we know you’ll do Vesta proud!
