Training Group Information

Training Group Information

Training Groups will be held basically one day a week alternating Run Group, Open Water Swim and Bike Groups for races in the first half of the season (Up through May) and then again starting in July for the Fall Races.

Farrell Simon- 1st year triathlete Finished in 5:45:36. I could not have asked for a better training environment than with the group workouts. The individuals that composed the group were always cheering each other on and there by your side even outside of the training environment. Racheal made the training experience fun and always pushed us to go the extra mile. When I started I had trouble running a mile, but through the group sessions and Racheal's training program I am comfortable running 13 plus with more distance to come. It was truly a great experience.
