Triathlon

As a USATF certified running coach, Lora Erickson aka Blonde Runner has seen many athletes embrace the challenge of triathlons. It’s fun to train with others and this is one of the many reasons this group was organized. Educating beginners on how to train properly is also one of the main focuses of the group. The Northern Utah Triathletes welcomes beginners, intermediate and advanced athletes. Group rides, swim practices, nutrition seminars, health clinics and running lectures are scheduled regularly.

Here’s what people are saying about the group:
“Being a member of Northern Utah Triathletes means WAY more than just becoming a better triathlete. Lora’s nutrition classes help me be more aware of what I am putting into my body, Saturday group brick workouts help me have faster transitions and help me to get over that awkward bike-run transition. The after workout socials allow me to make new, fun friends. Being a member of Northern Utah Triathletes, to me, means being a better, healthier human being.“ -Chris, NUTs Member 2011, triathlete for 4 years.
