Training Plans and Logs

Below are some training plans that have been taken from various sources. They are by no means all inclusive, but might give you a place to start as you are putting together your own program. I also included a couple of workout log spreadsheets and a spreadsheet to record your race results. Again, these are just some guides to help you get started on your own program. I hope you find them helpful.

Purpose of Triathlon Club – Social Support

• Place to meet fellow triathletes & find training partners of similar ability
• Someone to talk to about training and races – a lot of times family & friends don’t understand nor want to hear about it
• Carpool & group support at races (split hotel for distant races) – wear team shirt before/after race to help spot each other & cheer each other on
• Social gathering a couple of times a year
• Email/Network group – upcoming races, training rides/runs/swims, a place to buy/sell triathlon gear, bikes, etc., a place to ask questions
• Be a mentor to a first time triathlete or sign up to have a mentor

T3 Team Apparel

This is what our team apparel design looks like. Our team order has been placed and we should get the apparel back in January or February.

If you would just like a regular white dry-wick shirt with our new logo. I will be placing that order the first week of January.

FYI - we have over 50 people racing at St. Anthony's from the Tri Team. How cool would that be if everyone was in the same gear? For those of you that aren't actually racing, we thought it would be fun to have a team tailgate after the race. More to come in the new year.
