Squad Goals
As a competitive age group team, our squad sets team performance goals each year. Check our results archive and Club Records and Championships pages to see what our athletes have achieved.
Ironman Global Rankings
2026 Goal: Top 150 Globally, Top 50 U.S. Club
Ironman events award points to age group competitors registered under clubs. The better you perform in your age group the more points you get. But everyone gets points just for finishing an official 70.3 or Ironman. Details of the competition here. Division IV is for clubs with 26-75 participants (i.e. not total membership but number of members that compete in an Ironman branded event in that calendar year) which TCM is currently classified under. We have an internal Ironman Points Rewards competition to reward performance at these races.
2025 = 304 out of 5643 Globally, 216 out of 360 Div 4 clubs, 89 out of 1187 U.S.
2024 = 334 out of 5048 Div 5 clubs
2023 = 219 out of 4981 Div 5 clubs
2022 = 532 out of 4808 Div 5 clubs

TriClub Podium Awards are an on-site competition that honors the top five clubs with a physical and digital award at each IRONMAN and IRONMAN 70.3 race. Club points are calculated with points being added from all athletes from their respective club. Oceanside 70.3, Santa Cruz 70.3, Ironman California, La Quinta 70.3 are potentially our best chances.
