Training
Completing even a beginner or mini-sprint distance triathlon requires training. Visit the USA Triathlon web site for training resources. Group training is also great preparation and motivation. We recommend joining STARRS (or your local triathlon club) and connecting with other athletes for training. Workouts and groups exist for all levels of training.
