If your talents extend beyond the bike and you’ve got an engine to match, why not take on the challenge of a triathlon! Squadra Veloce, in collaboration with Asterix and Nayade, facilitates a student triathlon program. Through Squadra Veloce, you can sign up for the triathlon arrangement, giving you the freedom to train with Squadra Veloce (cycling), Asterix (athletics), and Nayade (swimming). Triathlon members not only train together but also with members of the respective associations. The training sessions, which you can find on each association’s website, allow you to create your own training week. Additionally, you always train with people at your own level. For example, if you are better at swimming, you can join Nayade in the fast competition lane, while cycling, you might train with the slower group.

If you want to attend as many training sessions as possible, a weekly schedule looks like this:

• Monday: Running (Asterix) 20:00-22:00
• Tuesday: Swimming (Nayade) 06:30-08:30 and cycling (Squadra Veloce) 18:00-19:30 or 19:30-21:00
• Wednesday: Running (Asterix) 17:00-19:00
• Thursday: Swimming (Nayade) 06:30-08:30 and cycling 18:30-20:30

All triathletes are part of a WhatsApp group and participate together in competitions. Several weeks before specific events, we organize triathlon training sessions where we practice transitions and combination training (cycling and running consecutively).

The cost of a triathlon membership consists of a €30 association membership fee to Squadra Veloce and a license with the Dutch Triathlon Union (NTB) of €49 (older than 24 years) or €35 (younger than 24 years).

Whether you want to get introduced to the sport or are looking for a friendly team to train together for your Ironman, everything is possible.
