Hello all, I am a Tufts University Student, and I just completed my first Triathlon. Naturally, I am not addicted to the sport and am trying to find outlets to train and improve. Are there any triathlon training groups in Boston? if I can't find a group, how do many of you train in the winter months when even the thought of going outside makes you shudder? Anyway, happy racing, Amish

I could have tied this in with the thread on the poor air quality in Beijing, but I feel that it deserves it's own thread. I was going to do my first triathlon this weekend, however, smoke from the wildfires in California have degraded the air quality enough that the race organizers cancelled the event.
