Triathlon training for your first race

How to start training for your first triathlon race

Triathlon training in Naples FL

Are you looking to participate in your first triathlon? Maybe you have done a few triathlon races and are looking for a little more guidance and training?

Group training can be a great way to train with other people in a safe, friendly environment. You will meet and train with others with the same goals. This can help get you to the start line with more confidence, plus, you will see friendly faces at your race. This can help those pre-race jitters.

In Naples Florida, we have several options to join group training for triathlon training.

Leapfrog Athletes

Leapfrog Athletes has an 8 week triathlon clinic starting March 30, 2019. This program will cover all aspects of triathlon racing, from open water swimming to biking and running, as well as transition practice. All levels of participants are welcome to join. A lot of this training will be performed on the Naples Fitness Challenge course. This can really give you an edge over other participants. You can find out more about this program here: https://www.leapfrogathletics.com/

Why Not Tri

Why Not Tri is the company who is responsible for the Naples Fitness Challenge. They have a triathlon race clinic starting on April 4, 2019, and continues until May 25, 2019. These clinics are held on the race site. You can do all of the clinics or you can drop into the ones that focus on your weakness. You can find out more about these clinics, and dates here:http://www.thefitnesschallengetriathlon.com/clinics.html

We hope you take your first step into this amazing world of triathlon racing. These race clinics are the first step to a great race finish. Make sure you check out our calendar of events for free weekly training events. We would love to meet you and welcome you into our club. Also, check out photos from last year’s Naples Fitness Challenge here.

Naples Area Triathletes are excited to announce our club discount for The Naples Fitness Challenge. Y Not Tri is offering our tri club members a race discount until May 1, 2019. The triathlon race is on Sunday, June 2nd. And it will be the 33rd year for this event!

The Naples Fitness Challenge is our only hometown triathlon race, and as such, we expect a large turnout from our members. We also invite you to volunteer if you will not be racing.

This is the second year the Naples Fitness Challenge will be offering two different distance triathlon races. The sprint race will be a reverse triathlon, as the swim will be the last portion of the race. The longer Olympic distance will be a traditional race, with a swim start.

Meet the new Board of Director member

Board of Directors

The NATs board is excited to welcome our newest member to join our board of directors, Judy Keator. We feel she is going to bring new and refreshing ideas to our triathlon club.

Judy Keator

Judy Keator recently relocated to Naples from the Boston area where she served on the board of a very active triathlon club.  After participating in her first sprint triathlon around 8 years ago, she quickly fell in love with the sport.   The personal challenge and great friendships you develop with triathlon was a big draw.  She hopes to bring some of her New England triathlon club experience to NATS and is looking forward to meeting everyone.

In addition to triathlon, Judy can be found golfing, diving and hiking with her dogs. 

We thank Judy for offering her time to help the club.

Would you be willing to help as well? We will need volunteers for upcoming events. Let us know if you are willing to help us too.
