Join Us! No Running, Biking, or Swimming Experience Needed!
What are we?
Team TriR.O.K. (Racing for Our Kids) is a catalyst: using support and education, we transform sedentary individuals into athletes. We harness the power of inspiration to spread fitness and healthy lifestyles throughout families and communities. Team TriR.O.K. is free to join and provides training plans, partners, and resources including used equipment and swim clinics to our members.
Why are we?
Childhood and adult obesity is a growing epidemic in this country, fueled by increased inactivity from young ages. But this disease can be effectively battled when parents show their kids there is another way…to get active and have fun doing it. Team TriR.O.K. helps parents do just that, by giving them the tools they need to get involved in the sports of triathlon, running, cycling, or swimming. By setting goals and enjoying training, they will be setting an invaluable example to their families, their friends, and their communities. Team TriR.O.K.’s goal is to make successful participation in triathlon affordable for everyone who is interested, by connecting team members with free or low cost, quality used equipment and training resources.
Who are we?
The original Team TriR.O.K. was composed of 7 friends and mothers who decided to inspire their kids through triathlon. One of the 7, April Bowling, was an experienced triathlete who served as a coach for the Team. No one else in the group was a runner, biker, or swimmer! But after 9 months of training (using mostly used or borrowed bikes) our members went on to successfully compete in the Michael Dunleavy 5K and the JCC Triathlon-by-the-Sea, as well as several other road races and triathlons. Our experience has been so positive that we have decided to try to expand it to help others.
How can you get involved?
Membership is free. We hold training support meetings once a month, have an email newsletter, and hold regular training and equipment clinics. If you’d like to join just email April Bowling at teamtrirok@live.com.
