About triathlon team names

A triathlon is a swim, a bike leg and a run, with two transitions between them: T1 from swim to bike and T2 from bike to run. The shortest pun is on the sport's nickname, tri, which can stand in for try, high, cry or three: Tri and Stop Us, Tri Achievers, Tri Me a River, Tri's Company.

Then there is the vocabulary triathletes pick up in their first season. A brick is a training session that stacks two disciplines, usually a run straight off the bike. To bonk is to run out of energy. Swim courses are marked with buoys, and a race is wetsuit legal when the water is cold enough for wetsuits to be allowed. Hence Thick as a Brick, Breaking the Bonk, Buoys Will Be Buoys, Wetsuit Legal and Lost in Transition.

Relay teams split the race three ways, one athlete per leg, and hand over the timing chip in transition, so one group of names is written for trios: Fin, Wheel and Heel, Pass the Chip, One Leg Each. Others follow the distances, from sprint and Olympic to middle distance, long course and the full distance. There are also charity squad names (The Fund Racers) and club names built on invented places (Heronmere Tri Club, Towpath Multisport).

How to choose triathlon team names

  • For a relay, pick a name that works for three. Anything built on a trio, such as Rock Paper Scissors or Gold, Silver and Bronze, lets each of you claim a part on the race shirt.
  • Match the name to the distance. Short and Sweaty suits a sprint, Standard Deviations suits the standard or Olympic distance, and Going Long or Full Distance Fools suits a full-distance day.
  • For a club, put your own lake, town or pool in front of Tri Club, Triathlon Club or Multisport. Multisport is the usual choice when members also race duathlon and aquathlon.
  • Leave race brands out of a team name and describe the distance instead: sprint, middle distance, long course or full distance. If you want a race organizer's own wording on your kit, check their rules yourself first.
  • Announcers read team names at the finish line, so say yours out loud. Buoy Band and Aero Smiths are spelling jokes that work on a shirt and get lost over a loudspeaker.

Frequently asked questions

What is a good name for a triathlon relay team?

A relay has three legs and usually three people, so names about threes work best. One Swims, One Rides, One Runs says it plainly, while Tri's Company, No Third Wheels and Three Legs to Stand On make the joke.

What do brick, bonk and T1 mean in these names?

A brick is a workout that joins two disciplines back to back, most often a run straight after a ride. Bonking is running out of energy during a race, and T1 and T2 are the two transitions, swim to bike and bike to run. That is the joke in Sunday Brick Club, Bonk Account and Picnic in T1.

Why does no name here use a race brand?

The list sticks to generic words for the distances, such as sprint, middle distance, long course and full distance, and leaves the names of race series out. A name like Long Course Legends or Full Distance Family then fits whichever event you enter.

Are the club names real triathlon clubs?

They are not meant to be. Places such as Heronmere, Glasswater and Tarn Hollow are invented, and the list has not been compared with any federation's club records. Swap in your own town or lake and search the result before you register it.
