What is a Team Captain? TRIMORE Team Captains are the essential lifeblood of the TRIMORE group training programs. They direct communication and provide peer, moral and logistical support to the athletes and coaches of our group training programs.
What is the commitment? The program is a one year (renewable) mutual commitment between you and TRIMORE fitness, during which time you will be asked to be a TRIMORE Team Captain for at least 2 group programs.
What are the requirements? Ideally, you would be an experienced triathlete with at least 2 Olympic or longer distance races under your belt, a positive outlook, a natural sense of organization, and a "can-do" attitude. It is highly desirable that you have participated previously as a group athlete with TRIMORE Fitness, but not required. Exceptions can be made based on other qualifications and experience.
What does a TRIMORE Team Captain do? You are not expected to coach, we have a talented team of coaches in place. A Team Captain will assist those coaches in providing the best possible racing and training experience for our athletes for a given program. They will do this by directing all communication with the group athletes, including weekly emails that will wrap up the previous weekend’s events and give direction / advice for the coming week. The Team Captain will also attend all coached workouts and races for that program, and provide training support (eg: be a sweep on a bike ride, or in a kayak on the bay), moral support, encouragement, and mentoring to our group athletes during those workouts. In addition, over the course of the year, the Team Captain will attend relevant TRIMORE Fitness staff meetings, adhere to the TRIMORE Fitness Code of Conduct, and provide logistical support (as needed) to our coaches for training weekends, races & events.
Benefits In exchange for their work during the year, the TRIMORE Team Captain will receive access to valuable triathlon coaching, training and discounts, including a year’s worth of:
Free personal coaching and evaluation sessions by Coach Neil and other TRIMORE coaches (as available, on an occasional basis)
Free participation in two group (TAG, HIT or CORE) programs of their choice
Free drop-in sessions (pending available space) for group swimming, T3 and RST classes
Free lodging for training weekends (pending available space)
A Free Training Peaks account
Deep discounts on TRIMORE merchandise and gear
