Let's meet Bryan Frank, a prominent figure in the DC triathlon community, who's dedicated his time to making the sport a more welcoming space for everyone.

Bryan gets real about his journey, which began in 2008 thanks to a friend's invitation to a new triathlete training meeting. This led him to his first triathlon, a race he bravely tackled on a mountain bike. That surprising 3rd-place finish in the novice division ignited a passion not just for the sport, but for competing more seriously.

For the past decade, Bryan has also been at the helm of the DC Tri Club Elite Team. Despite their competitive nature, he emphasizes that the team's goal is to be approachable and helpful to all athletes, dispelling any notion of elitism.

Bryan is a passionate advocate for normalizing LGBTQ+ visibility in the sport and how creating specific spaces helps build broader acceptance. In 2011/2012, he co-founded "TriOUT," a visible and supportive community for LGBTQ+ athletes and allies.

At his core, Bryan puts inclusivity first, continually leading the way to help others find their place in the sport. As Bryan himself wisely puts it: "Start with what you have. Make space for yourself. And never underestimate the power of showing up." This episode is packed with wisdom and practical tips for every athlete.

So,Let’s Tri this!
