Club Philosophy
Tri-CHAMPS Triathlon Club was created to fill a gap in Alberta's triathlon scene:
A space where kids, youth and adults can train, grow, and connect together with purpose.
Our name reflects our mission: Tri-CHAMPS stands for
Triathlon, Consistent, Holistic, Adapt, Meaningful, Potential and Social,
the core values that drive us on and off the course.
Triathlon - one sport, three disciplines: swim, bike, run (and we think stretching is the fourth while eating donuts is the fifth). We love the variety, challenge,
and fun that triathlon brings. Participating with friends makes it even more fun.
Consistent training is the key to building skills, boosting performance, and bonding with teammates. We aim for small, incremental gains.
Holistic training means nurturing the physical, psychological, and social sides of sport - essential for every athlete's growth and well-being.
Adaptive training meets athletes where they are - and where they want to go - with a focus on the individual, their context, and the bigger picture.
Meaningful training looks different for everyone - whether it’s learning new skills, improving performance, staying healthy, having fun, meeting people, or chasing a personal goal, there’s always a purpose to be found.
Potential is about pushing your limits and, at the same time, finding fulfillment in every race and training session.
Social connections help make training fun! Teammates can push us, pull us, and remind us about what makes the journey worthwhile - we’re better together.
Becoming a Triathlon-Champion starts with a choice - yours. Whether it's crossing a finish line, hitting a personal goal, or simply showing up, a champion looks different for everyone. With the right mindset, support, and training, you can accomplish more than you think.
