Hello!
Just like that, we are in August. I’m not sure if anyone else feels the same, but the year is flying by! It’s very exciting to hear about what we’ve all been up to, so pour yourself a cuppa, sit back, and get reading.
Webinar – Omius
We recently had our webinar session with Omius who provide cooling technology in headbands to manage our body’s heat. This is especially helpful during hot races. The technology essentially acts to increase the body’s surface area, thus improving the evaporative cooling effect of sweat. We have been fortunate enough to receive a 20% discount code from Omius to purchase a headband; please see James’s message in the Announcement thread on WhatsApp for the full details. You can watch the session here: Omius Headband Education Session
