For those of you interested.  I joined them last year even though I haven't transferred to Memphis yet.  Just wanted to provide you the link to their new website.  It is still growing, but looks to be a fun group if you want to be part of a club.  If not, I am sure by the responses we are getting here on BT, we can form our on little group training rides!!!  Look forward to it!

If you need contact info please let me know and I will forward that to you via PM.

Nice website, but that looks like a team where you have to be nominated to join...and you must have a strong racing resume', which I don't have.  Don't know if that is true or not, but looks to be some serious athletes.

That is true. I spoke with them a while ago and it is more of a true racing team. Memphis Thunder is more of a club.

I am not fast enough to be with them....I will stick with Team Thunder!  Plus, it sounds like they are going to be a fun group to be around.

I just emailed them for some info also.

I don't know if anyone looked at their race schedule, but there is an indoor tri in a couple of weeks, the "Prairie Life Indoor Triathlon." That would be a nice first tri to get your/my feet wet.

I recently joined the GI JESS WARRIORS FOR A CAUSE TEAM. They are a tri club in Memphis with a focus on cancer awareness. It is a great team to be involved with and also does alot of good for cancer patients and driving cancer awareness.

In all seriousness.  The only way to really get started is to do a tri and start talking to the people.  The closest one coming up is Might Mite down in Forrest City on July 21.  Very short but popular race.  My I'm overestimating a person's ability but I bet with 4 weeks of dedicated training each discipline twice a week that you could pull off that tri.

Also check out the Memphis Hightailers' website for their weekly group rides.  I highly recommend for a beginner RB's Cyclery's C ride on Saturday mornings.  They have an option for as little as a 20 mile route.  Almost always some triathletes on any group ride.

I am really excited to see this thread!  I am in Piperton, outside Collierville and am thrilled to see options for training.  I have been running 1/2's and will be starting Tri's this year.   I have been spinning and swimming, but nothing formal.  I would love group to train with!

Check out Thunder.  Most members are based in Collierville and train from there.  It's a great club.

I have heard from Memphis Thunder and would like to join, but need to know a member.  I see Memphis Thunder Jersey's everywhere, but dont think I "officially" know anyone. How did you guys meet someone? I appreciate your input.

Thanks, Kat

I met the members that recommended me at a triathlon. Most people join a group ride but being winter that's a little difficult also. I know we are looking to do some group swims but I don't think there are any definite plans yet. The best advice I have is to ask the person who contacted you if there are any activities you could join to met some people. Probably a trail run or two are coming up with some of the girls. Post back here if you hit a wall and I'll see what I can do.

Thanks, I appreciate it!  I just sent an email to Marcie Cohen asking when the next get together was going to be.  I see Memphis Thunder people in jersey's all the time, just never said hi at any of the races. :-)
