HAPPY NEW YEAR, everyone!
I hope you got to see out 2025 exactly how you wanted.
As I get older, I feel like each year goes by faster. But then I look back through my photos and videos and realise that we packed quite a lot in.
2025 for Journey Strong saw our humble little community grow and friendships become stronger.
There was definitely a more consistent effort to show up to each session, especially over Winter. The numbers were great.
I was very impressed by those of you who went for a swim after every workout, no matter the temperature or conditions - I take my hat off to you. You guys are hardcore!
In 2025, we had 3 teams of 4 compete in the Bay Games at Huski. For many, it was their first taste of competitive fitness. The effort leading up to and on the day of the comp was phenomenal. Well done, crew. Let's get more involved this year.
Back around Easter, we entered 2 teams into the annual tug-o-war competition at the Ulladulla Blessing of the Fleet festival and walked away with a win and a second place. Not bad for spontaneous participation.
Our Garage Sessions grew in numbers, and some really good progress had been made by everyone who attended, with not only improvements in strength, but also skill and technique.
Our recent Xmas party was an absolute cracker that really highlighted how far we have come as a community - everyone went to great lengths to bring along nice food and connect with each other. That is what it is all about - bringing people together and creating connections.
On this first day of 2026, where a good number of you committed to showing up for a 7am workout, I hold high hopes for what the rest of the year brings us.
Thank you to you all for being a part of this community. Thank you for your positive energy, your welcoming nature, your inspiring efforts, and your commitment.
2026 is going to be good......I have a feeling.
LETS GO!
