I'm a good runner, and have always
wanted to attempt a triathlon. Do you need to know how to
do all the sports well to join your club?
Absolutely not! Part of our mission
is to is to assist those athletes that have the desire to
become multi-sport athletes
By joining the RTC, you
open a complete resource of clinics, structured workouts and
network of athletes of all levels. Consult the training section
for helpful training tip and articles.
Am I allowed to try out a workout
or event before I join?
Non-members are always welcome at our
club events, and are also welcome to check out a few workouts
before deciding whether or not to join, but you will be required
to sign a release waiver before participating.
What advice can you give to the 1st
time triathlete on how to learn more about multisport?
Use to tools available to you. There
is a wealth of information for first-time triathletes and those
new to multisport in the RTC Beginners
section of the website. Also consult the RTC Calendar.
Here there are group workouts listed for members & non-members
and information on location, duration and necessary skill
level. You can attend the club's monthly meetings held at
the Tuckahoe YMCA. In addition, by joining the RTC you will
gain access to "members only" section of the website
where there are discussion boards, training tips and much
more.
Can I sign up online?
Yes! Just click on the Join Now link from the home page or click here.
I'm not currently a member of any
training facility, do I need to be a member of a facility
to join your club and is there a particular facility that
your club uses? Also, are there any discounts at training
facilities for club members?
No. You do not need to be a member of
a particular training facility to join the RTC. However, some
of the structured workouts are performed at particular training
facilities and to participate in them you will need to be
a member of that facility
Currently our club members workout at
many different training facilities, if you consult the Training
section in the RTC Website, we have listed the some of the
facilities that we recommend and our members use. We have
our club meeting at the Tuckahoe YMCA (but you need not be
a member of the YMCA to attend)
We do not currently have any
arrangements with local facilities for discounted rates, however
plan to investigate this in the future.
