IT’S MORE THAN
CROSSING
THE FINISH LINE.
RFWTT Season 2022 Cancelled
Note from coaches:
Dear Roaring Fork Women’s Triathlon Team,
By now, Sharma and I are usually well on our way to getting ready to launch our summer season.
Unfortunately, starting in January, I have been dealing with a family health issue that has kept me in California for much of the last 3 months. I was hopeful that it would resolve, and we’d be able to re-launch the RFWTT, but at this point, it is not to be. My attention needs to be with my mother at this time and for the foreseeable future. Sharma and I have always said that we could not and would not run this team without each other. It takes the two of us to make the season special for each and everyone of you. We have always strived to put our very best foot forward to bring the challenge of athletics to the women of the Roaring Fork Valley. Our traditions will continue, but it will have to wait for next year.
I want to thank our assistant coaches who, when we reached out last month, all were excited to come back for another season. They have all been supportive of me and our team and all embody the spirit of the RFWTT.
Thank you to our sponsors who have reached out to us ready to help us with our financial needs in support of the team. We hope that you all will be there for us next year.
Thank you all for your patience in waiting for word of our season.
About Us
For the past twenty-one years, RFWTT has coached hundreds of women to finish their first triathlon. The team has helped many women awaken their inner athlete. Many of the women fell into two camps: they either once participated in sports but quit to work or raise families or they never had the confidence to try sports in the first place. The RFWTT gives women another chance to train, laugh, work-out, high-five, sweat, and accomplish things they never thought possible.
We train in the summer twice a week, for 13 weeks, from May to August. We meet in Glenwood Springs on Wednesday mornings from 6-8 a.m. where the emphasis is on running/walking/cycling/heart zone skills. We meet again on Saturday mornings or Monday evenings to learn pool and open water swimming skills. Extra workouts, lectures, and clinics are added throughout the summer.
In August, we will take a field trip to Longmont to participate in the Divas Tri where Tri-Babes become Tri-Umphs when they cross the finish line! The event consists of a 1/2 mile open water swim, an 11.5 mile bike ride, and a 5K (3.1 mile) run/walk.
