I just relocated to Monterey, specifically the Marina/Seaside area and am looking to get involved with the triathlon community. Anyone here in Slowtwitchia in this area and can recommend a good swim program, running group, cycling club?
Thanks,
Chris
Chris,
Welcome to Monterey area. I’m not fully involved with the tri scene here, but here are a few items that may help you.
Monterey Peninsula Tri Club (I think it used to be Carmel Valley Tri Club, but not too sure). Don’t have much info other than that on them, but I think they have a yahoo group page.
Swimming: There’s a couple of Master’s workouts that I know of. 1) in Seaside swims M-F 5:00-7:00 am and then again around 5 pm. They are swimming at Seaside High School right now, but will head over to Patulla swim center soon. 2) Carmel, same team, different coach and different pool, but not sure where and when.
Cycling: Monterey Velo Club - tons of group rides every week (just google it)
That’s about it. Good luck and see you around.
Hey Chris,
Michael here. I didn’t know you moved. Send me a PM and let me know what your story is. Did you get another promotion at work? Do you have space on the couch for starving triathletes that want to escape the oppressive valley heat? tribato@hotmail.com.
Hope all is well,
Miguel in the 'No…El Tribato
