I'm wondering if anyone can recommend some tri clubs in the Brooklyn/NYC area. I am training with a friend but we also wanted to join a club. The issue is that she lives in Manhattan and I in Brooklyn. We are trying to find a team with workouts in both areas since it isn't accessible for either of us to travel that often. A team that is low-cost and beginner friendly (like Brooklyn Tri) is ideal! Any ideas? Does such a team exist?

Brooklyn tri does group rides over to 9W, but I think those are the only non-Brooklyn workouts or events. Even with that, it's a great club because, as you noted, it's relatively inexpensive and is very beginner-friendly. Something like 1/3 of the membership has done 3 tris or less. Its definitely a "you get out what you put into it" kind of club. There are lots of opportunities to train with really fast people and great coaches, or you can just hang out and socialize with a bunch of cool, like-minded people.

Awesome- thanks for the info, I'm definitely strongly leaning to Bk tri. Sounds like you're in it? If so can I ask you if there's a good range in pace among the membership? I ask because I'm in a running club and none of the 9+ minute per mile runners ever show up for the workouts so I find myself running alone at group workouts! If it's more beginners I'm guessing there are some slower folks around...?

Thanks!

Definitely! I've been a member for about five years. The first thing the former club president said to me when I was asking about joining was "some of us are very fast; some of us are very slow."

Inclusion is the key, with elements of the ride fulfilling the training and social needs of 95% of the membership. We have found that course selection, leadership have been the keys.

Tri clubs offer all of us, from beginner to advanced athlete, a venue in which we can realign our perspective of what “fast” and “far” are, pushing us to new and greater heights of performance.

The ONLY way to compete in my first triathlon was to do it on my BMX. I’m no professional—nor do I aspire to be one, I just want to be fit and healthy.

One of my fears, besides the radioactive material content of the Hudson River, was the water temperature. I found the water was much warmer as I inched closer to the holding dock.
