Tri 1.0 Program

Tri4Him introduces the Tri 1.0 group training program. This program is geared towared those just starting out in the sport of triathlon. Start training now for The Rookie Triathlon. This is a super sprint triathlon – 300 meter swim, 11.2 mile bike, 2 mile run – perfect for first or second triathon. It will even have a “Rookies” division with separate swim waves and award categories. Learn how to “transition” and train to complete a triathlon. Training will begin very soon, so let us know if you are interested.

2011 will bring a re-vamped Rookie Triathlon, with a new date, new venue, new course, and improved format! The event will now be held at Walter E. Long Park, just minutes outside downtown Austin, and earlier in the year, on April 17th. The most significant improvement is the addition of a true "Rookies" division.

Here are some notes from our kick-of meeting in January....

Tri4Him News and Notes
We have identified five (5) triathlons that will be deemed “Team” races. This simply means we would like to have as many members in uniform races, as possible. It also means we will have a designated meeting area to meet prior to the race for prayer, to meet after the race and for friends and family to gather. We are making a big effort to get Tri4Him information into the race packets, also. The purpose is to serve our Tri4Him Austin community and promote Tri4Him awareness.


Tri4Him Austin Team Races
The Rookie (April) – This will be the race for the Tri 1.0 program. They will have a “Rookies” wave and awards.
Capitol of Texas (May) – Tri4Him Austin will host a dinner for all Tri4Him members/ families attending. We will need volunteers to staff the Tri4Him booth during the expo.
Lake Pflugerville Triathlon (June) – We will have the Tri4Him tent at the race.
Jack’s Generic (July) – Looking to have the Tri4Him tent at the event.
Austin Triathlon (Sept) – Looking to have the Tri4Him tent at the event. Possibly hosting a pre-race dinner.

** The Rookie and Lake Pflugerville tend to fill-up quickly. Especially Lake Pflugerville, since it is part of the Jack and Adams Tri Series. They are already 10% full - only 750 athletes.


Pancake “Prayer” Breakfast
I would like for us to pray about hosting a prayer breakfast before an event. This could be on Sunday morning the day before the Austin Triathlon. We could actually hold a short service, since it will be Sunday.
