Gotta swim. Gotta bike. Gotta run. Gotta tri! READY TO TRI NOW!

Tri Zones Training offers a summer full of triathlon training! Whether you’re just starting out with your first triathlon, or you’ve done a few tri’s and you are ready to get back in the saddle this season, we welcome all abilities. Our session begins on June 18, and we've got a summer full of fun in store for you!

Congratulations to those of you who completed Danskin, Skeese Greets, Rookie, or CapTex!! Crossing the finish line of your first race is a wonderful accomplishment. If you would like to continue your training experience, join Tri Zones Training -- All abilities are welcome!

We offer a North and a South group, each with a program for Beginners and Intermediates -- select the group that is right for you!

Beginner Triathlon Training - You are new to the world of triathlons. Maybe you've participated in one or two or three, and you have your eyes set on some summer races; or you might still be thinking about your first one. We welcome newbies of all speeds and abilities in this program!
Intermediate Triathlon Training - You have completed 4 or 5 triathlons, and you're ready to take it to the next level. You are knowledgeable about all three sports plus transitions. We welcome ALL speeds. The biggest difference between Beginner and Intermediate will be the more advanced information that is given at the workouts, and the challenge level of the workouts and training schedule.
