Whenever you are considering a big change in your family's lives - moving or a new job, for example - it is incredibly helpful to talk to people who have gone through similar changes in their own lives. That's why one of the greatest assets that we offer to each of the families participating in our FamiliesTRI Program is their very own mentor family, who has gone through the program before them.
Before we became the TriROK Foundation, we were Team TriROK. We helped individuals realize their dreams of training for and competing in their very first sprint triathlons. In order to do that, they had to take on some scary things: learning to swim, riding a bike in traffic, making the effort to start running. They had to learn about goggles, helmets, running shoes, and trisuits. They had to get body marked, learn how to fix a flat tire, and explain to their kids why they were doing all this. In other words, they know what the FamiliesTRI participants are taking on.
And they are here to help.
Over the coming months, you'll hear from each of the founding members of Team TriROK, as well as later members. Hopefully their stories will inspire you, whether you apply to FamiliesTRI or not.
Speaking of which, we are accepting applications until October 15th. If you are interested in learning more or downloading an application, visit
