Are you the owner of Engadine Triathlon Club?
Perfect for starting out. To train for a triathlon, it is recommended to dedicate specific training sessions for each discipline – swimming, cycling, and running. Engadine Triathlon Club offers regular club training sessions to help members improve their skills and fitness levels in all three disciplines.
The club's training sessions typically take place on Saturday mornings, starting at 7am. The training sessions vary each week, with a combination of swim, run, and duathlon (swim and run) sessions. The swim sessions are held at the Engadine Leisure Centre, where members can improve their technique and endurance in the pool. The run sessions often take members on scenic routes around Engadine and its surrounding areas, offering a mix of terrain and distances to suit different fitness levels.
In addition to club training, Engadine Triathlon Club also participates in local events, providing members with opportunities to challenge themselves and showcase their skills. The club's upcoming local events include the Pink Ribbon run on August 26th and the Ride Wollongong event on September 23rd-24th. These events allow members to compete alongside other athletes in a supportive and fun environment.
Membership with Engadine Triathlon Club is open to individuals of all fitness levels and abilities. The club offers different membership categories, including adults, juniors, social members, and coaches. The club strongly encourages individuals to join both Engadine Triathlon Club and Triathlon Australia/NSW, as membership benefits include discounts on event entry fees and access to various resources and programmes offered by Triathlon Australia.
For those who are new to triathlon or unsure about committing to a full membership, Engadine Triathlon Club offers a 14-day trial or an 8-week “Try Before You Buy” option. This allows individuals to experience the club and the sport before making a long-term commitment. However, it is important to note that the trial passes and the “Try Before You Buy” option do not include racing insurance, so participants will need to obtain a One-Day membership if they decide to participate in an event.
Engadine Triathlon Club also provides a beginner's guide to triathlon for those who are completely new to the sport. The guide explains the different race distances, from the shorter Enticer and Sprint distances to the longer Half Ironman and Ironman distances. It also introduces related events such as duathlons, aquathlons, and Xterra races. The guide emphasises that triathlon is accessible to anyone with a basic level of fitness and a willingness to challenge themselves.
Whether you are a seasoned triathlete or a beginner looking to get involved in the sport, Engadine Triathlon Club offers a welcoming and supportive community. With regular training sessions, participation in local events, and a range of membership options, the club provides opportunities for individuals to improve their skills, connect with like-minded athletes, and enjoy the benefits of a healthy and active lifestyle.
