6. I’m new to triathlon. Is the club newbie friendly?
-
The TTC has members at every level of the sport, from never “tri’d” to veteran racers; from age group recreational athletes to competitive pros, and for every distance of the sport, from try-a-tri (super sprint) to Ironman and ultra distances. We welcome every type and ability of athlete, whether you’re competitive or just want to try it and tick it off your bucket list (but we can almost guarantee that you’ll get hooked once you try it).
7. Is club membership geared toward seriously competitive athletes?
-
The TTC reflects the diversity of everyone who participates in the sport. Everyone is friendly, welcoming and competition is relegated to race days, not socializing or celebrating each other’s achievements. There is a great sense of camaraderie among TTCers, especially when we see our branded kits out on the race course! We will cheer you on and help keep you motivated, whether you’re a first timer or a seasoned racer.
