Everyone's first comment is that it's because it ALL WOMEN! That doesn't make it different that makes it THE BEST! If you're thinking about trying a tri, and you're a woman (of course) then this is a great first, second or umpteenth triathlon!
Women understand each other, at the Ramblin Rose there's always someone to help. Come to Fleet Feet on Thursday for an informational session, then let them help you with the gear you need. Only have a mountain bike, no problem! We've seen women in this triathlon with the baby seats still attached to their bikes! With all the gear, at the transition area there's always someone to answer questions or help you get set up. We must admit, this is the only transition area where we hear, "Wow, that top you bought at Fleet Feet really matches your biking shorts, and how did you find a Sweaty Band in the RIGHT color?"
The Ramblin Rose is low key, it's meant for fun and empowerment of women. There's volunteers and cheerleaders all along the way, heck, all the women cheer each other DURING the race! The bike loop has changed to take out that DAM hill so everyone can cheer on that one and with a two loop course coming back to everyone is a great way to stay motivated on the bike ride!
So come to the informational session even if you are still thinking about it. There's still spots available and we KNOW that once you listen to our panel of guests and talk with other women who participated, you'll see why this is the triathlon for women in Winston Salem!
Ramble over Thursday at 7pm! Past Ramblin Rose women, how did you like this triathlon?
Well said Kelly.... I agree with it all, this is a FUN event and love that it is all women, and there is NO BETTER to be your first, it is a sprint so it is doable for anyone! We have a team member (actually she won the registration at the last Girls' Night Out!) that has NEVER swam, now that is brave, she has (4) weeks to learn, and there is no doubt that she will be there! Come on out and join us, everyone needs to say they have tried a tri!
