The Orientation for the mentoring program was a huge success, most of the mentors/mentees made it to the meeting and got to know each other. The business was taken care of with contracts and expectations, then the fun stuff snacks and team names. This years mentoring program has some changes including group mentoring which appears to be a hit among the participants! There will be more info to come on some of the great things coming this season!
A huge shout out to Laurie Hunt for putting this together and making it possible!

2016 Baydogs Mentoring Program Launched!
It's that time of year again to launch our annual mentoring program for club members. Mentoring is an opportunity get guidance and support from experienced triathletes. Mentors are not coaches but rather a guide on the side that you can use as a sounding board, for motivation or accountability or whatever parameters you and your mentoring partner agree to. We cover all the details in the Mentoring Orientation on Tuesday March 29 from 6:30-9:00.
Just like our sport, we are always learning and adapting the structure to meet the varied needs of our members.
This year we have added peer mentoring groups to the format and within each group we aim to have 2 mentors and a maximum of 5 mentees. The proposed group categories are below. If there is a need to adjust the categories based on applicants, we will do so as much as possible.
○ New to triathlon
○ 70.3 Muskoka
○ 70.3 Barrelman
○ Full Iron distance
○ Women 55+
We are also keeping our 1:1 mentoring option open for those that prefer an individual learning environment.
Mentee application form
Mentor application form
Application deadline is midnight Saturday March 19th.
Remember to mark your calendar for the Mentoring Orientation on March 29 from 6:30-9:00pm.
Objectives of the orientation:
- Set context and expectations for mentoring program
- Meet and get to know mentoring partner
- Establish goals for the program - mutual learning opportunity
- Get to know other club members participating in the program
We'll be back in touch by March 25 with your mentoring match.
