Finding the right triathlon club can be confusing but here some tips on how you can make the best choice for yourself.
1. Gear: Your triathlon club definitely needs to be branded. With options to put a logo on everything from cycling jerseys to hats to towels to hoodies to bumper stickers to racing equipment, there's no excuse not to have a way for triathlon club members to wear a brand with pride! This is also a great way to recognize other fellow triathlon club competitors at the races.
2. Clinics: It is important for you to be able to learn about the sport of triathlon outside of the regular triathlon club meetings. Your club should be able to organize tire-changing clinics at a local bike shop, swim clinics at a club member's pool, or run clinics at the track. Continuing education is another good way to socialize and interact with fellow club members while also enhancing your triathlon abilities.
There are a variety of websites such as TriMapper that will allow you to search for local triathlon clubs in your area. There's even a section of the Rock Star Triathlete Academy at http://www.rockstartriathlete.
