Have you been thinking about taking up a new sport or considering joining us? here are some good reasons to make New years resolution early:
Why do Triathlon?
Health/Fitness benefits
Social Aspect of training with others
Personal challenge/ goal
Stress Relief
Because my family/kids/friends do it!
Why join a Club?
Learn from others
Motivation to train
Guidance from coaches
Race in your club colours as part of a team
Club support at races
But……
It’s very expensive; it doesn’t have to be – borrow, second hand deals, keep it simple (ie. togs, goggles, hat, wetsuit, bike, helmet, runners). Full membership of Limerick TC & Triathlon Ireland works out at less than a cup of coffee per week. Membership to the club will allow you to participate in regular club training sessions, entry to seminars and subsidised training at organised training events.
It’s very time consuming: 3-4 sessions/ week (min of 5-6hrs of “training” or being “physically active” + living a healthy lifestyle)
I am not good enough or would not be physically able: Age group ranges 16-84! Distances Try-a-Tri (250m, 6k, 3k) to Long Distance (Ironman; 3.8k, 180k, 42.2k)
I can’t swim: try Duathlons or the club offers coached swim technique, fitness, and open-water/ specific sessions
I can’t bike: try Aquathon or The club offers Intro/Beginner coached biking sessions as well as group indoor and outdoor cycle training.
