From Our Athletes

Don't take our word for it.

"I came back to triathlon in 2006, but had yet to find my tribe. That happened in 2009 when I joined RTB. It has become a lifestyle — fitness, friends, and social involvement all wrapped into one."

Chris Hall

Member since 2009

"As an accountant, I know the monetary return on investment through race discounts and NWTB discounts has far exceeded the cost of membership. More importantly, the value and enjoyment I've gotten out of the group goes well beyond money. Everyone on the team is so welcoming and helpful — it's a great group of people."

George Wright

Member since 2016

"I was really self-conscious about how slow of a runner and swimmer I was. I finally got over that nonsense. Everyone on the team was so cool and fun and are just the best! The Wednesday night open water swims and the Tuesday track workouts quickly became my new favorite nights of summer."

John Roberts

Member since 2016

"When I first joined RTB, I had this crazy idea of competing in a triathlon and wanted to be around like-minded athletes. I've always felt comfortable running and riding, but swimming? I honestly thought I could just "survive" it. So I jumped into a lake and reality hit fast — pure panic. Since then, with the coaching, support, and encouragement from everyone in RTB, I've improved so much and feel far more confident in the water. RTB is so much more than just a training group — it's a supportive team, an encouraging community, and a genuinely fun experience to be part of."

Joshua Ford

Member since 2025

"I joined RTB as a long time runner looking for cross training options due to recurrent injuries. What I found was the most encouraging group of athletes I've ever met. From super experienced Ironman competitors to beginners like me, everyone welcomed me with open arms and have been by my side as I learn new skills and face my fears one by one. They believe in me before I believe in myself — thanks to my RTB teammates I learned how to ride a bike at 40 years old, and I am now on my way to race my first triathlon. Excellent coaches and unmatched team energy! Thanks RTB!"

Karen Pratt

Member since 2024

"Being a part of RTB has been a blast! I have made so many new friends over the past couple of years and really look forward to training and races with teammates. The coaches are super encouraging, personable, and have a great sense of humor. It's been an incredible experience; I wish I had joined the team sooner!"

Kent Thompson

Member since 2023

"I needed a "physical challenge" to pursue and fill the gap left after 25 years of high fitness & competitiveness as both a Marine Aviator & Air Force Special Warfare Officer (TACP). Triathlon was the vehicle, but RTB became the path, the guidance, and culture: while multisport athletes compete as individuals, RTB's members & coaches ALL help you prepare for each event, the transitions, and the mental resilience — you get to the starting line together. RTB is a community, a family, regardless of your background, fitness level or starting point. Everyone from members, coaches & volunteers are pulling for your success, and they're happy to share their insights, knowledge & experience to help you get there. Go RTB!"
