Why Do We TRI?
A triathlon is a multiple-stage competition involving the completion of three continuous and sequential endurance disciplines; traditionally swimming, cycling and running. Crossing the finish line requires that you follow a comprehensive training plan, fuel your body with the right foods at the right time, and develop an emotional and mental toughness to persevere through it all.
​
So why TRI? Well, because RYPE believes there are few things more empowering than crossing the finish line of a triathlon! That one moment can unlock mental barriers that limit us from being all that we have the potential to be. The personal development gained from mastering what it takes to get your race bling translates to every aspect of a woman’s life. And becoming a part of the triathlon community provides a way to socially connect with other strong women who braved their way to becoming a Triathlete.

To swim, then cycle, then run…in immediate succession…provides a badge that says you are powerful and RYPE!
As I continued to cross finish lines and experience the same empowering emotions every single time, I noticed that I did not see faces that looked like mine. And fully understanding the challenges of being a woman, specifically a black woman in this society, I wanted to see more women of color participating…using the empowerment of this sport to positively influence every aspect of their life.

The Let’s TRI Together Program is a signature initiative of RYPE that brings together adult women and adolescent girls to train, grow, and thrive—side by side. By creating a shared space across generations, this program fosters mentorship, motivation, and mutual inspiration. It’s designed to introduce participants to the sport of triathlon in a fun, structured, and encouraging environment. Whether it’s a mother-daughter duo, big sister-little sister, or any other adult woman / adolescent girl combination, Let’s TRI Together builds bonds that go beyond the finish line—promoting health, confidence, and a lifelong love for movement. Participants gain not only skills and stamina, but a strong foundation for continuing their journey with Team RYPE and the greater multisport community.
Lets TRI Together Program
RYPE was an opportunity for me to step out of my comfort zone of just doing sprint distance triathlons and taking my body to a different level. It allowed me to do something that I thought I would never be able to accomplish. It also allowed me to train with other inspiring women who were not only training partners, but became long-long friends. I have grown in the work of triathlon, and RYPE gave me the opportunity to go from doing a spring triathlon to competing in a full Ironman. For that, I will forever be grateful. And now I am an example of how training hard in a community of supportive women allows you to accomplish any goal you put your mind to.
