Any local triathlon clubs here in Chennai? I’ve been getting into the sport recently and wanted to get any leads if possible for any triathlon clubs in the city.

There are many queries I do have which can be easily addressed by someone who is already involved in said groups, rather than approaching one person for every discipline. TIA 1 0 replies

But now when I called them and asked, they said that RTO is closed today and cause of that, they couldn't... 1 1 replies
