The 2014 Zurich Triathlon in Switzerland was my first race, after which I was hooked. But it took me until 2018 to do my next race. After training solo for the NYC Triathlon in 2018, and seeing many BTC athletes racing in their club jerseys and the camaraderie after the finish, I decided to join the club. Since then I am enjoying the inspiring community and dedication of BTC in and outside of Prospect Park. The way each athlete supports one another, how our coaches guide us to improve constantly, and the team spirit that is always shown whether you are participating in a race or not, inspires me every day.
