Danskin Triathlon Series 8-Week Program Registration Now Open
I am co-coaching the Danskin Triathlon Series MetroWest Boston team with Marsha Whitman this summer. It starts on May 31st with a kickoff at the Westboro Tennis and Swim club, and goes for 8 weeks through the Danskin Webster, Ma race on July 27th. There will be two levels to the program. Level 1 for beginners and Level 2 for people wanting to go to that next level.  This program is how I got started in triathlon! 6 summers ago Ellen Riley told me I should do it even though I didn’t own a bike, hadn’t swam in 20 years and couldn’t run more than 1 or 2 miles. As they say, the rest is history.
Registration is now open if you’re interested in the program at www.heartzones.com. we are coaching the Boston MetroWest team. There is another team out of Braintree, if that is more convenient for you.
If you’ve never been to a Danskin race, they are well worth attending. It is so much fun to see women of all shapes and sizes cross the finish line. I literally get tears in my eyes.
Not to mention, I am still friends with people I met at my first race doing this Danskin training! Right Bonnie, Andrea and Amy !!

I’ve always wanted to attempt a triathlon. I think this might be the right time for me to get started.
That’s great Randy. Where do you live? I can help you find some in your area to choose from and maybe some groups or coaches to work with.
I can’t seem to find the Danskin Training Series registration on http://www.heartzones.com. I looked under Coaching/events, but couldn’t find it. Where should I be looking?
Hey Laura,
You can sign up for the race itself at http://www.firm-racing.com under events. Our program isn’t listed on heartzonescoaching.com yet. I’ll let you know when it is and then you can register for it too.
BTW for those of you interested in the 8-week program to train you for the Danskin race July 26th, I will be holding practices on Thursday evening and Saturday mornings starting the first week in June. More info to come. The kickoff meeting will be held on May 16th at the Westboro Tennis and Swim Club. So save the date of the kickoff!
Diane, are we still guaranteed a spot in the race when we sign up for the training? I’m just thinking of all those I’m trying to gently influence
, do they need to sign up for the race now? Thanks.
We are not guaranteed, so they should register for the race as soon as possible.
Hey, Diane-
I just checked http://www.firm-racing.com, and the race is now listed as “Women’s Triathlon”, but under registration, it only says, “Coming Soon”, so you can’t register yet. On the Danskin website, it indicates registration opens on 2/10 @ 10am. If the Firm Racing website opens registration prior to 2/10, that would be great, since registration tends to fill up quickly!
ok, maybe 2/10 is when it opens then. Sign up then!
Okay. Missed the opportunity to sign up for the Danskin triathalon. Timing wasn’t right anyway as I sprained my ankle. When is the sign up for the next one, because this year I want in… I live in Wayland MA and I’m going to need lots of time to prepare. But I’m psyched!
Hi Randy. There are a few options we can talk about. Do you want to send me an email at dstokes@fitbricks.com we can discuss what’s gong on right now and what the plan is for next year.
