Quelle est la raison pour laquelle vous avez commencé à vous entraîner pour le triathlon?

Comme entraîneur du club Tri Montagne j’ai fait parti du club depuis le début.

Je ne m’entraîne plus expressément mais j’adore entraîner les autres – les débutants qui commence à se lancer dans le sport et les triathletes qui veulent ameliorer leur performance.

I’m the coach for Tri Montagne so I have been involved from the beginning. I don’t specifically train for my self anymore but love to help others – from beginners making their way into the sport and experienced triathletes looking to improve their performances

Quand est-ce que vous êtes devenu membre du club/commencé à vous entraîner?

Why did you decide to start training for triathlons?

J’ai commence quand j’avais 15 ans.  Chez moi en Tasmanie, il y avait un triathlon en piscine et l’équipe de natation étaient encouragé à participer. Mon frère ainé participait en traithlon déjà donc j’ai decidé à l’essayer. J’ai l’adoré et continué en triathlon sans me retourner

I started triathlons when I was 15 years old. In my home town in Tasmania, there was a pool triathlon and everyone in my swim squad was encouraged to participate. My elder brother was already doing triathlons so I thought I’d have a go. I loved it and never looked back.

Quelle est votre discipline préférée?

What is your favourite discipline?

Je les aime toutes – c’est la combination de la natation, le vélò et la course à pied qui rend le triathlon si spécial. La clé est d’étre capable des les tous faire!

I love them all – it’s the combination of the swim, the bike and the run that makes triathlon so special. The key is being able to do them all!

Qu’est ce vouz avez trouvé la plus difficile? Quels défis avez vous dû surmonter?

What have you found the hardest/what challenges have you had to overcome?

Le triathlon est trois sports dans un événement et pour cela il est dificile – si c’était facile, tout le monde le ferrait. Le triathlon peut se rendre plus facile. Si on entraîne les bases, on simplifie le défi.

Because it’s 3 sports rolled into 1, triathlon is challenging. There’s that saying, if it was easy everyone would be doing it. The thing is we can make triathlon easy. By training to do the basics well, we simplify the challenge.

Comment notre club a-t-il vous aidé à ameliorer?

How has the club helped you to improve?

Le club m’a permis de rendre/réinvestir au sport. J’avais de la chance comme compétiteur junior et senior d’avoir du soutien excellent, un coach excellent et des partenaires de formation motivants.

Si je peux aider aux autres à aimer le triathlon comme je l’aime, cela me rend super contente.

The club has allowed me to give something back to the sport. I was very fortunate as  junior and senior competitor to have excellent support, an excellent coach and great trainman partners. If I can help others enjoy triathlon as much I as I do then it makes me very happy.

Qu’est ce qui vous plaît le mieux dans le dynamique du club et les membres du club?

J’adore la camaraderie dans le club. Il y a une diversité entres les sexes, âges et capacités des membres. Ce qui est super est que quoi qu’il soit les membres soutient l’un à l’autre. En triathlon, tout le monde qui participe est un championnat et cela est encouragé par le club .

I love the comradery in the club. There is a mix of genders, a mix of ages, a mix of abilities. The great thing is that everyone supports each other no matter what. In triathlons everyone that takes part is a winner and this is really encouraged in our club.

Quelle est votre réussite dont vous êtes la plus fière?

What is your greatest achievement so far?

Ma réussite dont je suis la plus fière et que d’une manière ou d’une autre j’ai fait partie du sport de triathlon pour 25 ans..

My greatest achievement is that I have been involved in the sport of triathlon in some way for almost 25 years……

What would you say to anyone thinking of joining?

SVP, n’hésitez pas!  Le plus qu’on est, le mieux. Le club offre un excellent endoit pour pratiquer pour les événements, de développer les capacités et le fitness. Je pense qu’on s’amuse bien aussi!
Please do. The more the merrier. It’s a great way to practice for events, develop skills and fitness. I think we’re a fun and friendly bunch too!

The post TRI MONTAGNE MEMBER – AMELIA PEARSON appeared first on Tri Montagne.

J’ai fait mon premier triathlon avant la naissance de mon premier enfant car j’aimais nager, faire du vélo ou courir.  J’ai passé un été avec mon mari et une copine à nous entraîner et on a fait le triathlon M de Passy Mont-Blanc et j’ai adoré !  Après les naissances rapprochées de mes 2 enfants, je voulais retrouver la forme donc je me suis inscrite pour un triathlon S.

Why did you decide to start training for triathlons?

I first did a triathlon before having my 2 children as I enjoyed swimming, biking and running.  My husband and a friend and I spent a summer getting fit and we did the Passy Olympic at the end of the summer and I loved it.  I had my 2 children quite close together but after having them, I wanted to get fit again.  I remember going out on my bike and realising how unfit I was so I entered a sprint triathlon in an attempt to get fit again !

Quand est-ce que vous êtes devenu membre du club/commencé à vous entraîner?

J’ai rencontré Amelia et Joe grâce à une amie et j’ai commencé à faire quelques cours de spinning et fitness avec eux.  Ensuite nous avons créé le club de triathlon pour avoir une communauté et réunir les gens de la région qui voulait s’entraîner ensemble.

When did you first join/first start training?

I met Amelia and Joe when I was introduced by a friend and I started to do some spinning and fitness classes with them. We then created the triathlon club to bring together triathletes and people interested in triathlon in the local area.

Quelle est votre discipline préférée?

Ca change tout le temps ! Avant je préférais le vélo, mais cette année j’ai vraiment aimé courir et j’ai même commencé à faire un peu de trail.  J’aime bien nager au lac aussi sauf s’il fait froid !

What is your favourite discipline?

I go through phases !  I used to prefer biking but I have been really enjoying running recently and have even done some trail running.  I also love lake swimming but not if it’s too cold !

Qu’est ce vouz avez trouvé la plus difficile? Quels défis avez vous dû surmonter?

What have you found the hardest/what challenges have you had to overcome?

Well after having the kids I felt really unfit and weak and I have never had to train to get fit again so that was the first challenge !  Other than that, there are always challenges and things to learn : swimming in rough water and choppy seas, swimming surrounded by a lot of other people, getting over injuries, finding time to train.  And I had a bad bike accident in August 2017 

Comment notre club a-t-il vous aidé à ameliorer?

Amelia est une entraineur exceptionnelle.  Il y a 4 ans, j’étais faible, pas en forme, j’avais toujours mal au dos. Même un aller-retour en vélo me semblait énorme.  Mais avex l’aide de Amelia, les séances du club et un programme d’entraînement qu’elle fait pour convenir à ma vie personnelle et professionnelle, je fais maintenant des triathlons longue-distance, des trails et des cyclo-sportives.

How has the club helped you to improve?

Amelia is an amazing coach.  4 years ago I was weak, I had bad-ache all the time, I was unfit and just riding to Les Gets and back seemed like a long way.  However, by following Amelia’s advice, attending sessions and following a fitness programme designed to fit around my life and what time I have to train, I am now doing half ironman distance triathlons, trail runs and long road biking events.  I feel strong and fit and the journey has been nothing but enjoyable (apart from the odd hard session of course but at the club even the hard sessions are fun & much easier to do with likeminded people).

Qu’est ce qui vous plaît le mieux dans le dynamique du club et les membres du club?

J’aime qu’il y a un mélange de personnes dans notre club – de divers âges, professions, niveaux, motivations, objectifs, mais on se soutien, on s’amuse, on essaie tous de s’améliorer mais pas de gagner contre les autres dans le club.

What do like best about the club dynamics and club members?

I love the mix of people in the club – different ages, backgrounds, professions, levels, motivations, objectives, but everyone supports everyone else, everyone has fun, we all try to improve but we aren’t competing against each other.  The atmosphere is always fun and relaxed at sessions – we work hard, but we laugh a lot too and I always look forward to the sessions.  You’ll never regret coming along to a session !

Quelle est votre réussite dont vous êtes la plus fière?

Je pourrai faire une liste des résultats que j’ai fait, mais les réussites dont je suis la plus fière sont les réussites qui viennnent pendant le ‘voyage’ !  Apprendre à nager en eaux-vives, se sentir forte et en forme, réussir des courses ‘difficiles’.

What is your greatest achievement so far?

I could list some of the good results I have had in races, but the greatest achievements are the little things that happen along the way – learning to swim in choppy water, feeling strong and fit & completing tough races.

Que diriez-vous à quelqu’un qui pense à s’inscrire au club?

Venez essayer.  Qu’est-ce que vous avez à perdre ?  Je pense que vous serez content !

What would you say to anyone thinking of joining?

 Come and try – what have you got to lose ?  And I’m pretty sure you’ll enjoy it and feel very welcome

The post TRI MONTAGNE MEMBER – HELEN WATTS appeared first on Tri Montagne.

Why did you decide to start training for triathlons?

I started to train for triathlon for fitness reasons primarily. I used to run a little at university and have always swum when I can. In Morzine it’s hard not to get involved in cycling if you’re little bit sporty and it wasn’t long before a family friend had lent me a bike and I was entering my first sprint triathlons.

J’ai commencé à m’entrainer en triathlon pour me m’être plus en forme. J’ai couru un peu quand j’étais à l’université et depuis toujours j’ai nagé et je le fasse quand je peux.  À Morzine c’est presque impossible de ne pas pratiquer le vélo si vous êtes un petit peu sportif et donc il ne fallait pas beaucoup de temps avant qu’un ami m’a preté un vélo et je me suis inscrit à mon premier triathlon sprint.

What is your favourite discipline?

The joy of triathlon is that if one day you don’t feel like going for a run, you could swim and/or cycle or vice versa. I just love being outside, in the mountains, enjoying the fresh air or in the water and getting my lungs pumping and a sweat on!

La joie de triathlon est que si un jour vous n’avez pas envie d’aller courir, vous pouvez nager ou sortir en vélo, et vice versa. J’adore d’être dehors, en montagne, en grand air ou dans l’eau et faire exercer les poumons et transpirer !

What have you found the hardest/what challenges have you had to overcome?

Cycling downhill has been a real challenge for me as well as simple bike skills such as reaching for my bottle on the bike! A few injuries and psychological scares haven’t helped, but coming back stronger is always the goal!

La descente en vélo était un grand défi pour moi ainsi que des capacités faciles comme attraper une bouteille d’eau sur le vélo ! Quelques blessures, et des craintes psychologiques n’on pas aidé, mais le but est de toujours revenir plus forte !

How has the club helped you to improve?

Training with like-minded people, with who you can share your experiences, as well as tricks and skills, ideas on kit, has really helped. Some of the club are experienced triathletes, some are just starting out and it’s great to see the camaraderie and support between members of the club. Amelia has a great knack of gently bringing out the best in you without you really realising it.

S’entraîner avec des personnes avec les mêmes intérêts, avec qui on peut partager nos expériences, m’a vraiment aidé. Des membres du club sont des très bons triathlètes, et des autres sont des débutants et c’est super à voir la camaraderie et support entre tous les membres du club. Amelia à un grand talent à vous améliorer sans que vous rendiez compte.

What do like best about the club dynamics and club members?

The club is diverse in characters and all are welcoming and friendly which makes training fun.

Le club est diverse en caractères et tous sont accueillants et amicaux ce qui rend les entraînements amusants.

What is your greatest achievement so far?

I’m lucky to have progressively achieved little personal goals over my triathlon journey with the last summer being the best, completing my first long distance triathlon.

J’ai de la chance d’avoir progressivement réussi des petits objectifs personnels au cours des dernières années. L’été dernier était le meilleur, j’ai complété mon premier parcours distance longue.

What would you say to anyone thinking of joining?

Come and have a go! Even if you can’t do all three disciplines, or have concerns and worries, come and share them and as a club we can often find a solution and hopefully before long you will be improving and loving triathlon as much as we do!

Venez et essayez! Même si vous ne pouvez pas faire toutes les trois disciplines, ou vous avez des soucis ou inquiets, venez les partager avec le club est nous pourrions probablement trouver une solution ensemble et bientôt vous aller améliorer et adorer le triathlon autant que nous!

Aix Les Bains kids Triathlon by Ceri Nicol

          

The post Kids Can Tri – Aix les Bains appeared first on Tri Montagne.

Well, to start with Triathlon is a great sport. You swim, you bike, you run… so you get to do 3 sports in one! There are lots of different triathlons of different distances and people of all abilities and ages can compete – so there is something for everyone!

Being part of Tri Montagne will help you enjoy triathlon even more than you would if you just did it on your own. There are going to be regular club training sessions throughout the summer so you get to prepare for your chosen event with like-minded people. You don’t even have to be doing an event, you could just come along for the fitness benefits and to meet other people. The sessions are going to be taken by a fully qualified and excellent coach too, so you’ll probably learn a bit along the way.

All levels and ages are welcome to join the club, whether you are a beginner looking to get into the sport or whether you have done lots of triathlons before.  You don’t have to be a permanent resident, holidaymakers and 2^nd home-owners are also very welcome!

The club membership fee is just €45 per person. This gives you the access to the club training sessions which are going to be held on different days and at different times from June through to September so even if you can only make a few sessions it’s still great value for money!

Those that are planning on doing some events also have the option to take a French Triathlon Federation Competition License. This gives additional benefits, the main one being cheaper race entry fees!

So, what are you waiting for? It’s easy to join Tri Montagne. Just follow these steps:

1. Go to www.trimontagne.com/membership
2. Complete the membership form with a few simple details
3. Make the online payment through the link provided
4. If opting in for the FFTri Competition Licence follow the link to complete the online registration and then email a medical certificate direct to us.

Please note:

• The Club Membership fee is compulsory to join Tri Montagne.
• The FFTri Competition Licence is optional.
• The fees can be paid together or separately if you are adding the compition licence at a later date.
• We recommend taking the FFTri Competition licence if you are entering 3 or more triathlons for the summer as you will save on one day licence fees and therefore save money overall.
• After the club fee has been paid you will be added to the email list & Facebook group and receive information about club sessions & events.

The post Why join Tri Montagne? appeared first on Tri Montagne.

An initative from the the Buzz Performance team, who over the past 5 years have seen the interest in triathlon increasing in Morzine and the surrounding area steadily grow, the idea for Tri Montagne has evolved and you are now presented with a fully registered and insured French Association. The club is registered with the Rhone Alpes Triathlon Ligue & French Federation of Triathlon.

Anyone and everyone is welcome to join the club. It will be friendly and inclusive! The type of training sessions will vary and all levels will be catered for. Some sessions are designed to improve fitness, some technique and some confidence. There is club gear and support for those racing triathlons in the local area and further afield.

The club will be aiming to make the most of this wonderful area & facilities. The pool, Lac Montriond and of course the amazing outdoor natural environment that we in the Portes du Soleil are lucky enough to live in!
