"As with any program, you have those who doubt they can even get to the starting line. But as they grow and learn, you can see their confidence increase, and the race-finish smiles are a joy to watch!  Challenge accepted Challenge meet!  It's not hard, it's CHALLENGING!"

Past Participants Say:

Go girl training pushed me to exceed limits I didn't think were possible! At age 55 and with not much of an athletic background, I completed the training AND my first sprint triathlon! I was used to bicycle riding, but swimming and running were a big stretch for me! The encouragement of the coaches and the training schedule helped me to prepare by swimming many laps (more than ever) and jogging more than I had in several years. All I had to do was try what the coaches suggested. The coaches and the training group provide lots of positive energy! I am very proud of my accomplishment"

  Carla,  tri-training participant

"The training is fantastic! Not only do you feel great about yourself in general, you have the support of great coaches to help with the mental and physical demands of it. They’ve been there and know what you are experiencing. For a beginner like myself it was great and I will most definitely be participating again next year! This was a great group of women, hands down!

  Holli.,  tri-training participant

 

I felt this program offered an amazing experience and provided invaluable training. I was confident I was in good hands and the trainers were there for us every step of the way. Even on the day of the event they were there marking our bike racks with chalk, making sure we were all set, answering last minute questions, and cheering for us on the sidelines. The comradery amongst the group is what kept me motivated the entire time! Couldn’t have done it without them!"
