Albany Triathlon TEAM

Some would say we have been very lucky to have had such a mild winter this year here in upstate NY. It is certainly unusual to have virtually no snow cover at all through the winter months. There were some days in February that I got out on the bike, and even rode past a frozen lake dotted with ice fishermen one day – definitely a first for me.

Now Spring has sprung in a major way!! With bright sun and temperatures pushing 80, I see chics of all ages are out and about on foot and on wheels everywhere. There are even two girls smiling & riding bikes outside my window as I write this! I have taken to bike commuting this year in an effort to increase my fitness and decrease my waistline as well as my carbon footprint. Riding home yesterday… 26 miles, 2 counties and several communities…I spotted numerous women walking, running and riding. Some solo, some in pairs. Go chics go!!

I only wish that I could shout out to every woman I pass and let them know about Team LUNA Chix! “Come join us!!” I want to say. You don’t HAVE to want to do a triathlon. Whether you walk, run, ride and/or swim we would love to have you along for a workout or a clinic. (check our calendar for details and dates)
There are SO many opportunities for women of all abilities to get out and enjoy the outdoors as well as participate in fun area events, some of which are for women only. You run, but don’t bike? Bike, but don’t run? Grab a friend and pair up for a duathlon. You love to bike or run, but really don’t want to swim? Chances are you know some ladies who would be willing to pick up the other events of a triathlon. Or you might meet some like-minded girls at a LUNA Chix workout and before you know it you’ll be ‘bit by the bug’ as we say in triathlon. Put together a team of 3 and register for an event. Half the fun is training together!

Whatever your passion or goal, it is important to have fun and stay fit. Step outside…and that may sometimes include stepping outside of your comfort zone. You’ll be amazed at what you can achieve, especially with the help and support of other women.  Looking for a workout buddy, or someone to fill that leg of the triathlon you’re unsure of so you can see what it’s all about? Let us know!
See you on the road girls 
