TCSD is proud to support Medals4Mettle.  We will be collecting medals and cash donations at various events throughout the year.
 
From Coach Craig Zelent:
 
I wanted to let you know that I have volunteered to be the San Diego Chapter Coordinator for Medals4Mettle, a non-profit organization that facilitates the gifting of marathon, half marathon and triathlon finishers' medals.  Our network of volunteers then awards these medals attached to a Medals4Mettle (M4M) ribbon to children and adults fighting debilitating illnesses who might not be able to run a race, but are in a race of their own just to continue to live their life.  It is in honor of this mettle and courage in bravely facing these challenges that they are awarded a medal.  
 
I have been affiliated with M4M for 10+ years, but just to the extent of collecting finishers' medals.  I have decided to take a leadership role going forward.  This entails a few basic responsibilities:
 
  1. Collect finisher medals that meet our criteria:  Marathon, half marathon and any distance triathlon.
  2. Raise funds.  We incur a cost of $2.50 per Medals4Mettle ribbon.
  3. Process the medals.  Clean and polish the medals, then attach the Medals4Mettle ribbon.
  4. Award the medals to our very worthy recipients.
 
How can you help?

It's been a long road to get here, but we're pleased to welcome you to the new home of the Triathlon Club of San Diego!!!

 

The plan at the outset was to design a website that becomes the core of TCSD.  A "go to" to connect, engage and find information for workouts, training, calendars, coaching, other members, discounts, etc.  It had to be intuitive to navigate and user-friendly.

With the launch of our new TCSD website, we have included what we think are the most popular features of our old website with a new look and feel:

  • A robust member "dashboard"  which includes features only available to logged in members
  • An easy way to find sponsor and race discounts (and to post tri equipment for sale)
  • Searchable member database (you choose what you want other members to see)
  • Enhanced ecommerce site (selling TCSD buffs but looking for a volunteer to manage our e-store!)
  • Enhanced calendar with TCSD workouts and races, socials, volunteer opportunities and "meet-ups", a way for members to invite other members to their own workouts
  • New training section, with links to useful tools and information, especially for newbies

Before we (the TCSD Board) pat ourselves on the back, we realize there is still work to be done.  This is just the beginning framework; there is much more to be added in the weeks and months ahead. As resources allow, we will roll out new features.  If you have any suggestions, please email us at info@triclubsandiego.org.

 

And as you may expect, there are probably a few bugs we missed.  If you find anything like links that don't work or misspellings , please send an email to info@triclubsandiego.org with the details of what you encountered, a copy of the URL that you were on when you encountered the bug, and what computer/operating system/browser you are using.

In case you are wondering what has happened to the content on our old website, rest assured the data will be migrated to the new site in due time. We just had to prioritize things that members would need right away, like the calendar and discounts.

 

Thanks to everyone who has helped in the development of our new website!   A special thanks goes out to Paul Hekimian of the LA Tri Club and his web developer, Chris Lohman for working with us patiently and professionally to build this new website.

 

Thanks to everyone for your continued support of TCSD.  

GO TRI CLUB!

TCSD is happy to announce that our weekly workouts will be officially re-starting the week of March 15, 2021!  With that being said, we would like to stress that the following guidelines are still in place and some workouts have additional ones that MUST be followed!

 

  • Workout participants are required to wear and use adequate face coverings whenever possible as described by current local requirements.
  • Workout participants are encouraged to maintain physical distancing requirements (aka 6 feet or greater) whenever possible.
  • Workout participants may be divided into smaller groups (suggestion 6 or less) if needed to comply with current group size requirements.
  • Workout participants are encouraged to change or wait at their cars or arrive as close to workout start time as possible to reduce congregation time.
  • Workout leaders will disseminate workout information in advance using social media or other forms of communication to reduce congregation time.
  • High-risk or symptomatic individuals should NOT participate in workouts at this time.
  • Please be aware that TCSD can and will be judged by how we appear to the public!

 

Below is a summary of our current workouts, however please be sure to check the Facebook links provided for the most up-to-date information until our new website is launched!  Please note, larger club gatherings (meetings, races, socials) are still on-hold at this time.
