Subject: Train on clubs?
I was just wondering if all of you train as part of a club in Maryland, just get together wit other BTers, or just go out single all the time?

Thanks!

All of the above!!! LOL

I personally don't belong to a club but a lot of the Maryland Bters do. I had also always trained by myself until this year. Now, I've been able to swim, bike, run and even trail run with fellow BTers.

If you watch the Maryland forum someone will suggest some type of workout (usually on the weekends) that will have plenty of takers. Or you could even suggest one yourself.

Good luck and welcome to our little corner of BT world.

x2 (except for the trail running part).
 
I couldn't really settle on a tri club and I feel like I get as much out of the ad-hoc BT training session as I would on a team   Plus we all support each other way more than any club would since we are in touch all the time online.

If you are doing any of the Piranha Sports race, we've set up a "BT-Maryland" team so if you decide to stay "unaffiliated", you can sign up for those races with no obligation and then your points will still count towards a team

I joined Mid Maryland Tri Club.  They have monthly meetings that seem to be stimulating and also have training sessions.  I particularly like their OWS's since that is my weakness.  They also have a yahoo group with lots of interesting posts.  This site, BT, has a wealth of information and lots of good people.  As for training, I prefer to run and bike alone.  OWS I do in a group.  Watch this forum for dates and times for swimming.  The group that goes is lots of fun.

I think one of you asked what i do, but i messed up the response, so doing it in here...

I live in sparks so I ride up and down york road.. rode from hunt valley park and ride for first time with my spinning instructor, and that was beautiful up there... swim at the Y or for OWS at hammerman or go out to thurmont sometimes if i want to do a whole SBR. Run on NCR or at goucher for track or road. Looked into clubs and Mid MD looks good, just a drive to go to columbia all the time. Would be nice if BATC had more weekly training... but looks like you guys on here get together at times.
