Why Join LB Tri?
(or for that matter any triathlon club or team?)
In a word: Synergy
It's simple. Training alone we can be good and  maybe even great. But to be truly awesome and to enjoy this sport you need to train with others. Not just coaches and trainers, but peers with greater (and yes) lesser abilities. At LB Tri we all learn from each other. We celebrate each other victories and support each others defeats. Triathlon Training can be tedious and boring, but together it can be insane, fun, wacky and a kick-ass time. To that end, the first and the most important thing we do at LB Tri is to provide a place for like-minded athletes to learn, compete, work, train and play together.
"O.K. So that's cool and all. I learned a new fancy word and checked out your nifty graphic....
but what do I get?"
