I haven’t seen any other posts on this yet. So what is the team all about? I is it a club similar to AP Racing, Every Man Jack, Cup Cake Cartel, or Siri’s group Team Sirius, or is this something all new together, we haven’t been offered yet? Didn’t see anything about weekly coaching or training programs. I’ve always loved T.O. and Rinny and the idea of partnering with them sounded kind of cool. Anyone have any further details about what this will look like?

It’s a team sponsored by Waterfall Bank, which I think was recently founded by someone who is a fan of triathlon. The team also includes Justin & Jeanni Metzler, Andre Lopes, and Rachel Olson. www.waterfallracing.com
Also the people behind the Couples Championship.
The founder of Waterfall Bank is a big supporter of Eric Lagerstrom and That Triathlon Life as well. Eric talked about it on one of their episodes:

For anyone in the San Diego area, it looks like you can go have a jog with some of the Waterfall pros this afternoon:

Hey, at least you don’t have to pay $15 to ask them a question.
Yeah, it looks like it was team members only but that makes sense. I’m guessing that if the pros didn’t have a team/sponsor obligation they wouldn’t do an “all comers” workout.

To be fair, it was free to join the team for the first couple weeks.
Waterfall has teams based in several locations with a pro serving as team captain for each team. The Boulder team, however, has six pros. I joined the Boulder team using one of the free codes.
Usually on Sunday, Rachel Olsen (captain of the Boulder team) sends out an email to team members with a group training schedule. Thus far, it has been a Tuesday bike ride, a Friday run and a Zwift session or two. I don’t do Zwift, but have joined a couple of the bike rides and did the run once. I am not sure what turn-out is like for the Zwift sessions, but the group rides have been three or four people and the run that I did was three of us.
I think that its mostly a way to bring a few pros together with age groupers. Its been good fun and nice way to meet other people. But in order to keep it fun, the group training sessions - IMO - should be base building as opposed to intervals. If everyone is doing intervals at their own power levels for a majority of the ride, there isn’t much time for interaction.
They need to take a look at the Oceania tab “Sidney Australia”, it is SYDNEY.
Agree that the website could use some improvement. There isn’t much background.
Apart from the training sessions, I think that it would be good if there were some casual meet-ups to get to know each other, exchange info etc. Related to that, the emails with the weekly training are sent blindly, so I really don’t know who else is on the Boulder team other than the couple of people that I have meet at the training sessions.
It is a work in process and I like the objective of the team: to bring pros and amateurs together for some fun, and hopefully productive, training.
Also the people behind the Couples Championship.
Interesting - never heard about this event. Although, I have had my head down, with my own work, and this week Emceeing at USA Triathlon’s Endurance Exchange Conference.
This bank is flying all these top level triathlon couples into Florida? I kind of accidentally stumbled on this on someone else’s social feed!
