Atlanta Tri Sisters prepping for a triathlon.

MEMBERS OF THE ATLANTA TRI SISTERS, INC. SMILE FOR THE CAMERA IN ST. PETERSBURG, FLORIDA BEFORE AN OPEN-WATER SWIM.

Tackle your first triathlon with the Atlanta Tri Sisters, Inc. (ATS). Best Self Atlanta was introduced to this awe-inspiring collection of women (most of whom are over the age of 50) by 2012 Over 40 & Fabulous! cover winner, Dr. Debra Carlton. Created by tax attorney Julie M. T. Walker seven years ago, this adventurous group trains to take part in the Meek & Mighty Triathlon, which is a part of the St. Anthony’s Triathlon, in April. Each year, ATS hires a coach and begins an exercise regimen to prepare for the event’s 200-yard swim, 5.4-mile bike ride, and 1-mile run. To find out how you can become a part of this welcoming team, which is soon to be a registered club with USA Triathlon, attend its interest meeting on Aug. 11 at The Villages at Carver YMCA. Training is set to begin in October.
