Training Program
TNT triathlon coaches design three-four month training programs that prepare participants for the Sprint (500 metre swim, 20K bike, and 5K run), Olympic (1500 metre swim, 40K bike, and 10K run), distances. Coaches work directly with participants at weekly training sessions and are also available throughout the week to answer training and fitness-related questions.

The triathlon training program focuses on enhancing participants' swimming, cycling, and running endurance, agility, and technique. Pool based swims, transition workouts, strength training, injury prevention and nutrition are integral. A typical weekly schedule of training for the triathlon programs consists of:

Coaches
The TNT triathlon offers a qualified and dedicated group of triathlon trainers. We select our coaches for their experience, professionalism, knowledge, and enthusiasm, as well as their devotion to the cause. All have extensive coaching experience and have proven themselves in numerous athletic endeavors.

Mentors
We match TNT triathlon members in an approximate 8-1 ratio with a past TNT participant, otherwise known as a mentor. Mentors serve both as a resource and as a peer advisor, encouraging and supporting team members throughout the training and fundraising season.

Honourees
TNT members train and raise funds in honour of a local resident who has been affected by a blood cancer. Your honouree becomes your inspiration as you work toward goals that will better both of your lives. We provide each triathlon participant with a wristband to wear with the team honouree' s name.
