Triathlon
 

Atlanta Rainbow Trout added the Triathlon team in 2003. The Triathlon team is a place for athletes to develop their abilities in the three sports; swimming, biking and running.

Triathlon distances range from fun/sprint distances to ultra-distances. At the shorter distance range, the sprint triathlons are great for the first timer. This can consist of as little as a 200 yard swim, a 5-10 mile bike and a 3 mile run. A great middle ground, is the Olympic distance, named after the official Olympic Triathlon. This consists of about a 1 mile swim (1.5 km), a 24.8 mile bike (40 km) and a 6.2 mile run (10km). At the other end of the spectrum are Ironman distances - a 2.4 mile open water swim, 112 mile bike ride and a 26.2 mile run.

This USAT Official Club, offers a friendly and competitive environment for all athletes whether a seasoned triathlete or a newbie. The main competitive season typically begins in April and extends all the way through October or November. The team chooses 4-5 races during the season to attend as a team, while individuals will compete at various events throughout the year. If you are up for the challenge of completing a triathlon, this is the group for you!

The Trout welcomes all swimmers, water polo players, divers, and triathletes regardless of age, gender, race, sexual orientation or ability. Come see what makes being a Trout so special!
