Tampa Area Triathlon "Scene"
Quote | Reply
It looks as if we will move to the Tampa area sometime within the next year. I am looking for any info that ST'ers from the area might have on training and racing there. Some initial questions that pop to mind...

What is riding in the area like?

What opportunities/locations are best for swimming?

How many races are held within a reasonable radius, and which ones seem to be the best-run events?

Are there any tri or bike shops that seem to stand above the crowd? Running-specific stores?

Are there any good tri clubs in the area?

There's probably more that I could ask, but those seem like a good place to start. Appreciate any advice or feedback you might want to offer...

St. Pete Mad Dogs are a great club. North Shore pool in St. Pete is nice. Lot's of great races in Florida. You can do a triathlon almost every weekend of the year with-in a four hour drive of Tampa. Z

Check out the St. Pete Mad Dogs ( www.stpetemaddogs.com ) they have a ton of members and activities in the area and are a fun group. Like Tom said North Shore Pool in St. Pete (Site of St. Anthony's Triathlon) is hotbed for triathlon activities with the pool and rides & runs going out from there. In the Tampa/St. Pete area you can do a triathlon about every weekend in the season and road races every weekend in the winter. They also have the 70.3 World Championship coming there to Clearwater next year which will probably make the area even more a hotbed.
