Ready To TRI Max Performance Triathlons? Discount Code Included!
/I dipped my toe into the world of triathlons in August 2013. I remember feeling 100% out of place at the first Sprint tri I did. There were some other newbies there, but for the most part it was Elite athletes... like actual US Olympic team members. Then there was me. The girl hoping to just survive and not fall off during the bike portion.
It wasn't really the welcome I wanted into the triathlon world. Since then I've been more careful when choosing which triathlons I take part in.
It was in 2014 that I found the Max Performance Triathlons and I felt at home.
I competed in the Buzzards Bay Sprint Tri in September 2014. It was an awesome experience. Not only was the race flat and fast, but it was super welcoming to participants of all levels. It was actually the week after my first Half Ironman and it was cool to see so many folks from that race at the Buzzards Bay tri as well.
So in 2015 when race director Tim and I caught up in the offseason, we struck up an amazing partnership! I was honored to work with such a great race series and person.
For the 2015 season, I participated in the Escape The Cape Sprint and Title IX Women Only Sprint.
I loved BOTH races, but have to say Title IX held a special place in my heart. There is something about the energy level and support you feel during a women's only race. I am not sure what it is, but of the 7 triathlons I have competed in - 3 were women only and they were my favorite.
And they are not my favorite because they are the only triathlons I have placed at. ;) That was just a bonus. :P
