Team Timex is the longest standing team in triathlon, now entering its 14th season. This year’s edition is made up of 50 athletes including a handful of pros, but it is more heavily rooted with elite and influential age-groupers. They met in Tucson, Arizona for a three day camp to kick off their season. Activities included team sponsor introductions and talks, photo sessions, team building and bonding over yoga, swims, rides and runs, and a seemingly endless supply of snacks prepared by Skratch Labs.
