Why Join A Triathlon Club?
People join a club for a multitude of reasons; the most common reasons for seeking out a triathlon club are:
- SOCIAL INTERACTION
- Individuals are always seeking out ways to increase their social opportunities and a triathlon club brings them together with others who share a common interest. The club can be the gathering place for many of these individuals to get together, share concerns and enjoy the triathlon experience. TRAINING SESSIONS
- Triathlon is unlike most singular sports or basic hobbies; you don’t normally focus on a single sport and the skills associated with it; nor do you spend all week just waiting for Saturday morning so you can meet friends and fly model airplanes, go fishing, or hunting. Triathlon is a sport of commitment, multi-task planning and diverse training sessions. The first question usually asked of a new member is: "Where can I meet other club members to train?" They seek opportunities for group training and share other small pockets of information concerning training locations with new members. A more structured training schedule is more important in a major city where travel is time consuming, than in a smaller city where travel isn’t as much of a time factor. IDENTITY WITH OTHERS IN THE SPORT
- Almost everyone likes to talk about their personal situation in life; such as work schedule, kid’s schedule and lack of training time for themselves. They also communicate the need to identify with others in the sport and enjoy a team identity even in an individual sport like triathlon. Why do you think team uniforms are such a big issue within a club’s framework? There is a sense of belonging and pride in our personal athletic achievements and the ability to share it with a team.
