Raise the Bar is Headed South

Actuallty, RTB has been in the south for quite awhile - but we've seen more members joining the club from the very Southern King County and further south than that.  About 20% of our team members are living in Puyallup, Bonney Lake, Tacoma, Gig Harbor, and surrounding areas, and it's prompted us to provide better structure and services for team members down there.

Group Workouts
One of the main reasons someone joins a triathlon team is because they want to find friends to train with - so group workouts are a key component.  There are a few free weekly workouts available for team members so far at the Sumner Y that you can take advantage of if you're a YMCA member.  More non-YMCA workouts will become quickly available. If you're interested in joining up with the group,, email the contact person coordinating each of those workouts.

Communication
The RTB team has a members-only Facebook Group where a lot of inter-member communication begins.  Members post questions, race plans, workout suggestions, etc.  RTB South members are encouraged to use this same Group to meet more RTB members!   If you're a team member and want to be added to that group - and we really want you to be - then fill out this form.

Sponsors
One of the great benefits of joining a triathlon team is taking advantage of the partnerships the team has with established businesses that want to support the hard work of our athletes.  Sponsors participate in the businesses in a variety of ways - some invest in the team financially while others offer discounts to team members.  Either way, the sponsors provide great value and make triathlon a little less expensive for the members.  You can find the southern sponsors HERE.
