Capital District Triathlon Club

by Laura Clark

The Capital District Triathlon Club was organized in 1993 to promote multi-sport activities in the Capital Region and upstate New York. Every summer the club conducts a nine-week Tuesday night training series at Crystal Lake in Averill Park. Emphasis is on swimming, road and mountain biking, canoeing and running. During the off-season, monthly meetings are held September through May to swap training tips and plan for upcoming events. Members can keep in shape in the winter by taking advantage of various spinning, swimming and running gym-based classes. The season opens with the "Anyone Can Try" Triathlon at the Southern Saratoga YMCA on May 5, and culminates with the XTERRA Off-Road Triathlon at Grafton Lakes State Park on August 11. Many members participate in or volunteer to support the Ironman USA Triathlon in Lake Placid. Visit www.cdtriclub.org for applications, newsletters, training activities and results.
