TIME TO TRI: PART 5 with Nargis Fontaine and The Naugatuck Triathlon Team

It’s beginner’s season. Well, actually, it’s always beginner season for us because there is always a race to learn to TRI. For the month of June, we will highlight beginners as they share their stories. It’s the modern-day race report, if you digg.

This week’s featured beginners are: Nargis Fontaine and the Naugatuck Tri Team

Ask for what you need, receive the gems, and then knock down the door to Tri. Nargis Fontaine doesn’t let an opportunity slip past her. She is a skillful martial artist who doesn’t like to be underestimated. She shapes her workouts by looking forward to them. For her, it’s not just about checking a box. Most Newbies don’t have the opportunity to attend training camp before their first race. However, she’s a member of D.I.S.K., so she didn’t have a typical first season.

When your civic’s teacher encourages you to tri, you know you are destined for greatness. Thank you, Mr. Fobler, for introducing Ayana Williams, Jadya Costa, and Leticia DoNascimento to triathlon, getting excited to have a triathlon team only to be told it’s not going to happen. Well, these young ladies would not be told they won’t be able to TRI. They quickly galvanized themselves and made a decision to Tri despite the initial obstacles that got in their way. After all, isn’t every goal worth having worth fighting for? These high school track stars still wanted a challenge. So, they used their resources to garner support, and bam, now we have new triathletes! These young ladies know the true meaning of teamwork and its power to make the dream work. They started together and literally finished together.
