Welcome to The Boulder Triathlon Club Web Site


"...but Boulder is the sport's buzz city once again, with Craig Alexander, Tim DeBoom, Matt Reed, Michael Lovato, Chris Lieto, Simon Lessing, Greg Bennett, Laura Bennett, Chrissie Wellington and Joanna Zeiger to name a few, calling it home at least part of the year.

These marquee names and hundreds more elite-level triathletes, cyclists and runners find Boulder an ideal training ground, partially because of what it doesn't have - traffic, humidity and rain. the weather is mild year round, with typically only a handful of scorching hot days in the summer and warm enough temperatures on most winter days to allow for long rides in tights and long-sleeve jersey.

Boulder has several outdoor pools, a reservoir for open-water swimming, wide open rolling roads for training rides, many good bike shops, hundreds of physical therapists and thousands of massage therapists. It's situated at 5,430 above sea level, but there's easy access to roads for seemingly limitless riding and running above 8,500 feet."

Club Gathering, Monday, Feb 8th, 6:30pm

February 8th, 2010

Come one, come all to the 2nd BTC Club Gathering of the 2010 season!

Come listen to Michael Sandler and Mike Ricci, while networking with fellow triathletes!!

Michael Sandler, best-selling author, national running coach, and author of the upcoming book Barefoot Running (Publishing date March, 2010) and Co-Founder of Boulder’s RunBare Company, suffered a near-death accident before finding his path to barefoot running and healing. He will cover how all triathletes can benefit from barefoot running and training. He will also address how it can help you stay injury-free while strengthening your feet, ankles, knees & hips; how you can gain fitness and speed; and how you can use minimalist shoes as helpful tools.

Michael Sandler will be followed by Mike Ricci, Head Coach of D3 Multisport and Coach Sponsor of the Boulder Triathlon Club. Learn about training smart with another great talk from Mike.

The club meeting will begin at 6:30pm and will be held at the East Boulder Rec Senior Center. We will start the meeting off with some brief announcements followed by our guest speakers. We’ll end the meeting with a raffle and informal networking.

Don’t forget to bring your BTC Card (required to enter the raffle) and bring a guest along!

BTC Beat v 6: February 2010

February 1st, 2010

Hey BTCers! We’re enjoying some gorgeous weather, and hopefully Colorado’s  sun and powder combo have been more than enough to ward off any winter blues. If not, however, this issue of the Beat has plenty of motivation, including an excellent article from Burke Fishburn on solo vs. group training which highlights several BTCers as well as pro Joanna Zeiger; training tips from Coach Eric Kenney; and an account of Lauren Greenfield’s latest snowshoe adventure.  In fact, I’ve gotten such great content from people that I’m saving a few bits for the next issue. Be sure to scroll to the end for opportunities to earn yourself homemade cookies  by giving the quickest correct guess on the trivia and partial shot question marks. Also, please note info on Mike and Caron Ellis’s upcoming Haiti fundraising event, included in the calendar section. It’s sure to be an incredible night for an important cause!
