Jersey Shore Tri Gals

Throughout the winter while most triathletes are hibernating, we have been busy preparting for the 2008 season.  It is with great pride and excitement that we announce the incorporation of Jersey Shore Tri Gals, Inc. (JSTG).  Whether you are a novice or an elite athlete, we will now be able to provide more structured training support and networking capabilities.

Don't be discouraged if you were not able to secure a spot in this year's Danskin, the Jersey Shore Tri Gals will host a women's starting wave at each of the Sandy Hookers triathlons at Pier Village in Long Branch.  The Sandy Hookers triathlons are offered throughout the summer.  Visit www.sandyhookers.org for race details and to register for a race.

Our History

In 2004, three friends decided to participate in the Danskin women's triathlon on Sandy Hook, NJ.  They weren't sure what they were starting but their lives were changed.

Today, the group is over 100 women strong.  We have group ocean swims, group bike rides, seminars with nutritionists, training sessions with running coachs, and much more!

"If the Jersey Shore Tri Gals were in charge, the world would be a nicer place to live. Never in all my experience dealing with large groups of women -- as a sorority member, working for a fashion magazine, or volunteering for our PTO -- have I encountered such encouragment and overall goodwill. Where was the bickering, the backstabbing and the maneuvering? It's like we all drank the Kool Aid and got on board and were on our very best behavior. I now believe that there's very little I cannot do and it's not because I'm so great but because over the course of three months I've been surrounded by women telling me that I can. Pass the Kool Aid, I'm thirsty ..."
