ALL WOMEN’S TRI TEAM (AWTT) was formed in 2012 to help foster the growth of women participating in the sport of triathlon in the Five Boroughs of New York and Long Island. Team members reside in Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan and Long Island, and the majority of team activities and sponsors are local to these areas. The AWTT accomplishes its mission through racing, volunteering, mentoring, and sharing their journey via social media. The team's mission is inspire and encourage more women to participate in triathlon; and by doing so, experience the empowerment of setting and achieving goals, discover their inner strength, and experience the joy of activity through sport. I aim to achieve this through the open sharing of skills and resources, participatory activities in a variety of settings and locations, and developing a network of like-minded individuals who share the enthusiasm of helping others.
