Cyndi I have been involved with the TRIgirls for about a year now and have to say it is one of the BEST experiences of my life!! The support, camaraderie and encouragement is unmatched! There is nothing like competing in a triathlon and getting high fives in transition from your teammates, or seeing signs that say "Go TRIgirl" along the course, or coming through the finish line to the cheers and applause of your team. One particular memory that strikes home is when I left transition, there was a little girl sitting on the side of the road with her mom and when she saw me run by in my very cool TRIgirl Trisuit, she said "Look Mommy! She's my favorite!" The TRIgirl Team has inspired many women and young girls including our daughter, Kyle, who just completed her first Triathlon yesterday at the Riverside ACAC Sprint Tri!! At 14 she has completed what it took me 30+ years to do!! And, her favorite part was running through the finish line to the cheers and shouts of the TRIgirls! So, for what it's worth, if you've ever thought you couldn't -- you can. If you've ever thought you can -- you will. And, if you've ever wanted a friend to stand by you the entire way -- TRIgirls is it.

Jonah TRIgirl Training offers an amazing experience to come together with like-minded women to train for a specific goal. Many people, myself included, find training in a group the only way to train. It is more fun, you perform better, and you really look forward to workouts. The coaches are excellent at pushing you... just enough. But watch out, once you catch the triathlonbug, it may be hard to stop.

Carmen I joined TRIgirl the day it started, and it has been a completely rewarding experience. I had just completed my first sprint triathlon in 2005, and since joining TRIgirl, I have finished six more sprints and an Olympic distance. In 2007 I am training for Ironman Florida with the TRIgirls, something I could not have fathomed two years ago. TRIgirl has positively influenced my life in many ways other than simply training for triathlon, however. This inspiring group of women have become much more than training partners, and as we have trained, raced, cheered, volunteered, laughed, cried, carboloaded, and drunk coffee and wine together, I have developed some of the best friendships I've ever had.

Deanna TRIGirls has proven to be even better than what I had hoped. Of course there are the great workouts – and discovering that even slowpokes like me could benefit (and see improvements for the first time ever!) from learning new skills and pushing yourself beyond your limits. But even better was the camaraderie, support and encouragement from Grandison and the group. TRIGirls is not about competition or exclusivity. Though we all strive to make gains and work toward personal bests, the heart of the group is about supporting and learning from each other. Oh yeah, the weekly trips to Starbucks after the tough Saturday brick workouts are also fun!

Deanna A move back to Richmond in the summer of 2006 prompted me to join the Trigirl training group. I was immediately struck by the open and friendly nature of the group. After just one training session, several trigirls made a point to welcome me. In fact, some of them knew my name long before I had connected all of the friendly faces to their respective names! After completing four triathlons this year as a trigirl, I am completely hooked. With our distinctive pink ensembles, we receive plenty of support while training and racing. I am continually impressed by the diverse, yet supportive nature of the group. In a few short months, I have gained in both fitness and friendship. Lucky me!
