It has arrived... Triathlon season barrels into Pennsylvania this weekend with two fantastic sponsor/club events... Saturday's French Creek Triathlon and Sunday's Independence Triathlon! And we will be prepared... We've done most of the work... Swimming, cycling, running, and hopefully even some work on nutrition. But there is one additional secret to a successful season and we tackle it this Thursday, May 16 evening... It is our 6th annual "Changing of the Shoelaces" celebration that signifies our transition to triathlon and also makes us faster in our T2 bike to run transition!

Join us at our Tuesday evening intervals ride for your opportunity to become a member of the club or increase your tier! To earn "membership" in the club you will need to complete at least 3 intervals at one of our Tuesday night cycling intervals workouts taking place May through July and then all "club members" will be invited to an ice cream party in August. Through the first two events we are currently at 10 members! The Happy 10th Birthday Challenge is also well underway!... Currently there are 22 Gators participating and on Saturday we had our first athlete complete all activities!
