Welcoming skill levels that range from ‘I’ve never done a triathlon before’ to ‘I could do a triathlon with my eyes closed’-the triathlon team invites all those who are interested in the sport of triathlon to join.
The Team The triathlon team is a group of like-minded individuals that get together to train and compete in the sport of triathlon. Team members learn discipline and how to work hard to achieve their goals. Workouts range from easy jogs in the park to gut wrenching workouts that will push you to the edge. No matter the difficulty of the workout, there are constantly gatherings to get together and build team unity. The team gets to know each other very well through workouts, gatherings, and team trips. The Meetings Who: Members of TXS Triathlon The Practices With multiple opportunities to practice daily, members of the team can choose practices that suit their schedule.
