Plus: Gear Swap!
Do you have extra gear that has been taking up space? Stuff you haven't used in seasons? Bring it with you to the New Member Potluck for our annual Gear Swap!! All items that don't find a new home at the event will be donated to the UCSB Tri Club.
Since 1983 triathletes have traveled to Bonelli Park, on the eastern edge of Los Angeles County, to learn the sport; to shake off the winter rust and get ready for the upcoming season; to see old friends and make new friends; and to be in the midst of a fun, high-energy, multi-sport setting. The LA Tri-Series events accomplish all of that and more! If you are new to the sport of triathlon this is the perfect setting to learn open water swimming in a safe environment, cycling around as a safe course with little traffic, and a well-supported run to one of the most beautiful finish lines you will experience. If you are an experienced triathlete who has been waiting for a warm water swim and safe bike course to start off the season – this is for you also.
Come on out and be a part of history at the 40th consecutive LA Tri-Series event.

Featured Speaker: Author, Coach and USA Triathlon Hall of Fame inductee, Cherie Gruenfeld.
Cherie will be speaking with us about her 30+ year career, sharing her tips on longevity in the sport of triathlon and inspiring us with her work supporting the lives of at-risk youth through her nonprofit organization, Exceeding Expectations.
Cherie is a 13-time IRONMAN world champion, multiple age group course record holder and a three-time IRONMAN 70.3 world champion. She is the founder of Exceeding Expectations, a San Bernardino-based nonprofit that encourages at-risk youth to move their lives in a positive direction using triathlon as a vehicle. The program prioritizes education, and through the support of generous donors, Cherie has been able to ensure that money will never be an obstacle for “EE Scholars” who are accepted into college.
