Austin Tri Club is sponsoring virtual events throughout the spring and early summer. The club also recommends a number of other local events below. Let others know on the Facebook page which ones you choose so we can race together.

2020 Club Sponsored Virtual Training Competition
Join us for the next 3 weeks of virtual fun with opportunities for some great prizes!
June 11 - July 5, 2020
Week 6/15-6/21
Show us your favorites! We want to see everyones favorite places to swim, bike, run, do yoga, stretch, and meditate. This can be anything from your cozy room in your house, or favorite route that you love to run, or a spot on your long ride that takes your breath away. We are finding new places all the time, and love seeing routes on Strava. Here's your chance to spread the love of your secret favorite place. Post pics, routes, and anything else all week long. Be sure to include the tags #atxtriclub #atxtriclubvirtual
Week 6/22-28
USAT is hosting #TriWeek which is a nationwide initiative to celebrate the sport. Every day on social media you can have a chance to win something. More info: https://www.teamusa.org/…/Multisport/National-Triathlon-Week
Be sure to include the tags #atxtriclub #atxtriclubvirtual #TriWeek@usattriathlon in your post!
Week 6/29-7/5
Gather up a team of 3 and join our All American ATX Tri Club Virtual IM Relay. Your team of 3 will need to complete 140.6 miles. We will post more info on this as we get closer, and if you need us to help you find a team WE WILL DO THAT FOR YOU!
How it works.
Each team is responsible for completing the 140.6 in a week. This consists of a 2.4 mile swim or 3 hours of any activity, 112 miles on the bike, and 26.2 on foot via walk or run. It can be cumulative, all at once, or a relay all in one day (more power to you on that one). Each member is only responsible for part, or all, of each activity. The distance each individual does is up to each team. Example:
Andrea did a 1 mile swim, 37 miles on the bike, and 10 mile run/walk. Stewart did 1 hr of painting, 45 mile bike, and 15 mile run. Joy did 1 hour of dog walking, 30 on the bike and 2miles on the run. This team completed 140.6 miles total and gets 3 tickets into the raffle for prizes. If we like their pictures even more we'll throw in some extra tickets as well (hint hint...take great photos!).
We have amazing prizes coming together for this one including $150 in gift cards to the winning podium team.
Be sure to include the tags #atxtriclub #atxtriclubvirtual
Have fun! Enjoy! And most of all give kudos and props to your fellow club members as they post their progress.
