No Love for RallySport

I don't understand why RallySport gets so little love from the endurance athlete masses in Boulder. Truly, this bothers me. I constantly hear how Rally doesn't support the triathlete or that Flatirons is the place to be or furthermore, that BAM is the place to swim.

Listen, those places are great and they do solid things for athletes. That is not my point. My point is this, some of the best athletes in the world are products of RallySport. The High School swimmers, adult runners, professional and amateur triathletes at Rally rival the best anywhere. AND they don't walk around telling you about it. Oh yeah and their kids are welcomed at Rally too.

Yeah, yeah...I know, my opinion right? Try this. Two of the very best endurance athletes in the world in their sport were born and raised right here in Boulder, CO. Mara Abbott and Cameron Dye are both attending the professional national championships in their sport this season. Cam in triathlon, Mara in cycling. Both of them grew up swimming at RallySport. They have been members for the past 10+ years and they both still train here.

Even better, they are welcome at Rally as stud pro athletes, but they were also welcome when they were kids.
