Pittsburgh Triathlon Club

If you’re looking to network or socialize with other triathletes in the Pittsburgh area this weekend, please plan on attending our monthly club meeting scheduled for this Sunday, March 13th, at Top Gear Bike shop.

The meeting will begin at 1:00 PM and will also include a guest speaker, Kim Schwabenbauer, owner of Fuel Your Passion, LLC.  Kim is a Registered Dietitian as well as an elite amateur triathlete and will be speaking on how triathletes of all abilities can harness the power of nutrition to improve their power to weight ratio. Power-to-weight ratio is the amount of power you’re able to generate per pound of kilogram of body weight.

Top Gear is located at 639 Wexford Bayne Road in Wexford, PA.

After the meeting, there will be a “Tech Talk” session with the Top Gear Bicycle Mechanic aka “G”.  This week, Garvin will be teaching you the “ins” and “outs” regarding how to efficiently change a flat tire and also what to carry with you in case of an emergency or a flat while you’re out training and also what you should carry while racing.

Besides the normal club business, there is a lot going on in the PTC.  We’ve eclipsed 120 members and continue to grow by the day.  If you’ve ordered a race kit, they are ordered and should be here just in time for your first race!  We also have watter bottles, swim caps and possibly cycling jerseys coming soon.  Please continue to spread the word and help grow the Pittsburgh Tri Community.  Our monthly meetings are a great place to have your voice heard.

Please continue to check out the PTC Forum for upcoming group rides and runs and in just a couple short months we’ll once again have open water swim sessions!  Also, members, please remember that you need to have a Forum account in order to receive all of the applicable sponsor codes.  If you ever have any questions, simply send an email to info@pittsburghtriathlonclub.com.

Hope to see you all this weekend!

Thanks,
