Why join the Barrie Triathlon Club ?
First & foremost the number one benefit is it places you with similar driven people who want to enjoy the multi-sports of swimming, cycling, & running. Training with others increases your knowledge, your motivation & enables you to make many new healthy friends. However, please understand you take away what you put into it, just like going to the gym. During the off season the amount of activities are relatively low. Right now, in February there are two formal activities a week. Tuesday night's 8km Winter Run and on Wednesday there is Speed Work drills. As we roll into late April, the cycling begins. This will takes us to a minimum of four (4) activities a week. Tuesday night becomes our 20km Time Trial night which is a blast of fun. Wednesday continues with Kevin O'Neil's Speed work drills (i promise you, guaranteed to make you faster) and Saturday is our longer cycling ride which is an enjoyable ride through beautiful country with great conversation. The longer rides will be anywhere from 40 km to 100 km geared for you & your time constraints. In addition, there will be another run added (tbd) and quite possible an early morning cycling ride during the weekday. On top of all that our Club meets every first Thursday at the Locker Room for "Pepsi" burgers, and peanuts.
A monetary benefit is the Barrie T.C. $ 80 fee, includes your OAT membership which is enables you to receive a discount if you are planning to enter any distance of triathlon OAT racing this summer.
Inside the Club we have some seasoned veterans who are a wealth of information to draw from. Personally for me, it's the fuel of energy that we draw from one another as well as meeting & making new friends. We encourage friendship & positive reinforcement. If you have any questions please do not hesitiate to email me at ijamie63@rogers.com. Press on ; Finish Strong, Jamie Nielsen.
