From Sofa To Triathlete In 8 Weeks
You can do this! Rocketchix Triathlons are a series of events designed just for women, of any age. Geared for beginners, our site will give you the information you need to get ready for your first triathlon or 10k race. Together, with our Rocketchix Partners in Training, we can help you achieve a goal that you may have never thought possible. Don't think about what you can't do, think about what you'd like to achieve and take the first step. Triathlon consists of a swim portion, a bike portion and a run portion. The Rocketchix triathlon is roughly equivalent to doing 1.5 hrs of continuous exercise (average estimated finishing time) in a fun, supportive atmosphere. We have three levels of training plans to fit every type of person, from the non-exerciser to the person ready to take on the sport of triathlon. The swim takes place first in a pool, followed by the bike and finishing with the run. We encourage you to take on the challenge of completing the race all by yourself but we also have a Relay Division for those that may not be able to do all three portions of the race. So now is the time. Gather your friends, family and coworkers. You're not just a woman. You are an athlete.
