Season
We practice all year long. Typically we do 3-4 Triathlons both in the Fall and Spring. In addition, some of our members run marathons or half marathons together. We also participate in 1 or 2 adventure races each year.
Conference
The club is a registered Triathlon club in USAT (USA Triathlon) and many of our members have a USAT membership.
Tryouts
There are no try-outs to make the team, everybody who wants to join is welcome.
Membership Requirements
None - just to want to get in better shape (or stay in shape) and meet some great people!
Dues
Triathlon club dues are $40/semester. This allows you to get the club discounts to athletic stores and travel with the team to races. The fee for entering a race will vary, but will typically be around $60. For a USAT (USA Triathlon) membership, which is optional, the cost is $40 annually.
Practice Schedule
Our typical practice schedule is as follows:
- Monday: Swim 6:30-8am; Cycle 8-9pm
- Tuesday: Swim 6:30-8am; Weight Lift 7pm
- Wednsday: Swim 6:30-8am; Run 4pm; Weekly Meeting 9pm
- Thursday: Swim 6:30-8am; Cycle 8-9pm
- Friday: Weight Lift 8:30am; Run 1pm
- Sunday: Speed Workout 10am
We understand that everybody has a different schedule and it may be hard for people to make the practices. For this reason, we have a web board where people can post the times and places that they will be working out. We do not have any organized practices on the weekends, but 99% of the time somebody will post on the web board a workout they are doing and would like company.
Achievements
- Many of our club members have come in first in their age group or overall for their gender.
- The club has won the “Collegiate Spirit Award” at the Angels Race for the past 3 years.
