Meet Ciara! ✨
Last year she started training for her first triathlon using Grit’s 12-week training plan, and she’s been rocking it on our team ever since! Like she mentioned, training with a coach and/or following a plan is the best way to start taking Triathlon (more) seriously - whether you’re a beginner or a novice.
The 12-week plan starts on 6/1 - DM for more info 🔥🔥
