Huge congrats to Koleen for crushing her Olympic distance race in Honolulu while repping the team strong 💙❤️

Also a that our new triathlete program leaders (swipe right) aren’t just mentoring, they race too. Many of them have completed major races, qualified for championships, and continue to lead by example through consistency, grit, and showing up for the community. 🫶

Meet Trevor — Class of 2024 NTP 🚴‍♂️ Our newest NTP leader, strong on the bike, supportive of newer riders!

Trevor participated in the 2024 NTP, where he learned about triathlons from incredible coaches and mentors. From this foundation, Trevor has competed in several triathlons, including the 70.3 Ironman North Carolina.

NTP meetup for Marylanders near Bethesda 💕 We got the bagels and were gonna get boba after, but boba opens too late 😭 runners always somehow finish before anything opens LOL.

Technology brought us all right into one pic 😂 since one of us had to squeeze a long run in 💕

NTP had a transition clinic this weekend!! 🏊‍♀️🚴‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Transitions are such a weird part of triathlon at first 😂 After the swim you’re usually breathing hard, dizzy, overstimulated, trying to find your bike, remember your helmet, and socks and shoes and somehow start biking LOL.

Practicing helps your brain and body learn the routine ahead of time so race day feels way less chaotic and stressful 🫶 The smoother your transitions get, the less energy and mental chaos you waste during the race.

Also learned: bend over once LOL 😭 Meaning if you’re already bent down, do everything at once …because it will prevent panic-shopping your transition area like you lost your wallet at Costco

Meet Rebecca — NTP Leader | NTP Class of 2022 | Here to hype + here for the Vibes

About 10 years ago, I was a couch potato dealing with a chronic health condition, crying over a physical chemistry exam. Somehow, watching documentaries on weightlifting and Ironman changed the direction of my life.

I followed that curiosity, spent 6 years in strength training, and eventually found my way into endurance sports. NTP was the catalyst that made a meaningful change.

Now I’m in my 5th year of this life, and the community and connections in this space have taught me how to grow not just as an athlete, but as a person. It wasn’t always great, but I genuinely loved the journey, and somewhere along the way endurance sports became my favorite way to explore, challenge myself, and enjoy life.

What I’ve learned is simple: small, consistent actions are the biggest wins. Stay curious. Stay joyful. And be proud of the little things you do.

That’s a wrap to camping weekend! Can you believe we’re five weeks away from the goal race!!!?

Huge congrats Wyatt on a strong Rock Creek 10K in support of the Rock Creek Conservancy 🔥
