Tom Cowlam
I have been a member of TriAugusta since April 2015 and was the Training Coordinator from March 2021 until December 2024. I became President in January 2025. I completed my very first Sprint Triathlon in April 2014 (TriPATHlon in Atlanta) and my first Ironman 70.3 Augusta race in September 2015. Since then, I have completed four (4) Full IRONMANs (North Carolina 2016, Louisville 2017, Florida 2018, and Louisville 2019), twelve (12) Half IRONMANs (Augusta 2015 through 2019, 2022 and 2023, Gulf Coast 2017, Chattanooga 2018 and 2023, Raleigh 2018, and Atlantic City 2021) and numerous Olympic and Sprint distance races. I was the Aiken Running Club President from March 2019 to March 2020 and the Secretary from March 2015 to March 2019.
I’ve completed ten (10) Marathons including the NYC Marathon in November 2019. I am a USAT Level I Certified Coach and really enjoy introducing new members to the sport and sharing my experiences with them. I look forward to helping coordinate some great TriAugusta training events this year including the increasingly popular TriAugusta Camp, The BIG RIVER SWIM, and numerous clinics, Savannah River swims, Ironman 70.3 Augusta old course bike rides, Fort Gordon rides, and the ever-sweltering downtown Augusta and North Augusta summer runs. Also, we collaborate with other triathlon clubs on weekend training camps to prepare triathletes for races later in the year (on demand). I look forward to seeing all of the returning members and meeting all of the new members throughout the year!
