Are you a team leader, business owner, or an executive looking for a fun and healthy way to liven things up a bit? Maybe “weary sales manager” better describes you?
The I Can Tri program is quite simply a FUN way to discover new energy and excitement in life and within teams. Participating in a triathlon with your co-workers WILL open doors for extraordinary progress. Team building that celebrates personal growth results in HEALTHIER interpersonal relationships which often results in higher job satisfaction.
Thankfully the sport of triathlon has grown considerably since it’s birth in Kona, HI. Now there are many “sprint
distance triathlons... which just means that an ordinary person [you] can successfully train for and finish a race without turning into a gym-rat. If a consecutive swim/bike/run sounds impossible to you... RELAX! Many races offer a relay, so you can complete your first event as part of a 2-person or 3-person relay team.
A suggestion... ignore the little voice in your head that might be SHOUTING something like,” hey lazy/fatso/mr. or mrs. nutritionally challenged/[ insert personal insult here ], you’re not in-shape enough to do this”. That’s the whole point! Training for a triathlon WILL whip your butt into shape like no other... if you accept the challenge! Of course, as with beginning any new fitness program consult with your doctor before proceeding and train SAFE!
The I Can Tri program is flexible and will be easy to implement within your organization because there truly is
something for EVERYONE in a triathlon! Every race needs volunteers, racers, cheer-leaders, more volunteers, team photographers, and have we mentioned volunteers yet? And sure, maybe not everyone will be interested in achieving the personal victory that only completing a triathlon can bring. We tend to think that they will ALL ENJOY watching their boss/manager or favorite pain-in-the-neck out on the course... breaking a sweat!
Triathlon brings our inner “kid” back; and isn’t it about time you let him/her out again? Do you remember when “working out” was more or less defined by racing around with the neighbor kid(s)? Think back to those pre-driving days... was a bicycle part of your “transportation program”? What about hot summer afternoons at the lake or pool... was swimming with reckless abandon your “stress-reducing” therapy?
So now you’re all grown up and have probably noticed one or two changes... like band-aids are probably used more often for paper cuts than knee scrapes... “can you play with me?” just might be a question you haven’t been asked in quite a while... and do you find yourself saying, “hurry-up” a lot now instead of “slow-down”?
Whether you want to “free the inner child” again just for the FUN of it, or BUILD more TEAM cohesiveness and increase employee retention; COMMIT all or part of your group to participate in a triathlon AS A TEAM! Doing this will open doors for EXTRAORDINARY growth within your organization and help your team redefine what is possible to achieve!
