I have been on their email list for over a year, and there is so much knowledge amongst their members, I was excited to finally make it to a meeting!
The meeting was very informal, as there was no speaker for the meeting this month, but it was so much fun to interact with a group of people with similiar interests to mine.
I did a few sprint triathlons last summer, but my decision to sign up for St. Anthony's Olympic Triathlon on April 25th has me a little scared. I felt much better after tonight's meeting because:
- Their knowledge about the sport of triathlons is priceless to someone like me who is relatively new to the sport. They answered so many of my questions and I learned so much in just one hour. I learned valuable information on buying a wetsuit, and what I should keep on my bike in case of a flat tire (a spare tube, a patch kit, and a pump). Good information to get me ready for all those long bike rides!
- They do a lot of training together. Every weekend there are bike rides, open water swims, group runs, and even mock triathlons. I was always nervous to join them in training because I am not very fast on my bike or running. The members assured me today that people of all abilities are welcome and now I am excited to start training with them.
I am so glad that I found this group of people and can't wait to get to know them better! Do you below to any clubs or organizations? It's been a long time since I have been part of club like this that isn't related to work or school. It's exciting!
