Tri4Him® Keller Team

Welcome to the Team Keller + page.  Lots of people doing life and triathlon together from all around NE Tarrant County.  We have advanced groups training for Half Iron and Iron distances.  But also beginners who have made the commitment to complete their first Sprint Triathlons in 2008.  My name is Ross Paterson (aka Coach Ross) and I have dedicated this season to helping 10 beginners get through their first open water swim race on October 5th.  We have lots of training planned, and a pool swim triathlon on the calendar for July 6th (see other races below) to get us ready for this goal.  So whether you are racing for the first or fiftieth time, we would love to have you come out and be part of the team.  We want to inspire, train, and encourage you to live an exceptional life.  Come out this week and join one of our workouts.
