Our Vision
The PG Triathlon Squad
Founded in 2016, our mission was never just to build a training group - we set out to create a slightly obsessive, wildly supportive, occasionally sunburned endurance family. We believe that camaraderie, shared suffering, and a mutual love for overpriced nutrition products drive athletes to levels they didn’t know existed. Around here, motivation spreads faster than chain grease, and showing up for each other is non-negotiable.
From day one, we raised the bar for endurance training in the valley, pioneering "Monster Weekends" (aka adult recess for triathletes) and redefining what a local training group could achieve. In just six years, we’ve helped 23 athletes punch their ticket to Ironman World Championship, and many more launch their triathlon and running careers out of the deep end - and swim just fine.
Coach Pedro Gomes, who leads the squad, learned early on that performance skyrockets when you surround yourself with equally committed weirdos who think 5-hour rides are “fun.” That experience shaped our core value: the right community doesn’t just help you train harder - it helps you want to. We blend serious training with a seriously strong team culture. Because if you’re going to suffer, you might as well do it with friends, structure, and a race on the calendar. We don’t just make athletes fitter - we make them faster, tougher, and hard to beat (unless there's a buffet involved).
Looking for a Swim Squad only?
Triathlon-specific. Just show up and get faster.
Our Swim Squad is designed for athletes who want high-quality, triathlon-specific sessions without committing to a full coaching program. Not everyone needs full coaching but almost everyone benefits from structured swim training!
Three times per week with workouts focused on what actually matters for triathlon: technique, aerobic endurance, race-pace efforts, and holding form under fatigue. No endless laps — just purposeful swimming that translates to race day. You’ll train alongside a motivated group of triathletes, follow structured sets, and bring consistency to your swim training. No guesswork, no junk yardage — just better, more efficient swimming.
