Darcie Leighty of Salem, Oregon joined ontri.com this January and claims its already one of her favorite sites. My sister and I are planning to run our first sprint triathlon together in June. We are both on ontri.com and its great motivation to compete against each others workout history," said Leighty. It also motivates me see the 'completed marks next to my training schedule and not to mention I wouldn't have known where to begin without the training program the site provided. I just love ontri."
Robert Schuster of Tucson, AZ has been an ontri.com member since the spring of 2004 when the site first launched and last July he won the overall superstars of the month competition logging more miles than any other ontri member. Its been fun to watch ontri grow," says Schuster. Theyre always adding new features, making the site better and its simply a great way to add some fun to my training. Ive invited several of my friends to join and now I compete with them as well as the hundreds of others in my ontri club. I often add extra miles to my swimming, cycling and running workouts just to solidify my position on top of the ontri.com leader board, so the competition has really worked well for me as a motivator."
