SF Tri is made up of a special mix of triathletes at all stages of their training journeys - from first-timers to Ironman WC finishers.
What makes our community so great is this diversity of experience alongside the exchange of tips, learnings, encouragement and overall camaraderie that inspires each of us to “keep showing up” to reach our ambitious training goals.
To capture some of that magic, throughout the year we’ll feature different members’ stories and learnings from their journey with endurance sports.
Big thanks to the fabulous club members who graciously agree to share their experience.
Enjoy!
