MEET the Board
Royce Scrivano
President
“Hi, I’m Royce! I’m the tall guy that’s usually cheering WAY too loud, when I’m not racing myself.”
Royce’s favorite local race is the Nat Greene’s Revenge tri at Lake Brandt, “since it was my FIRST one for me and for my future wife!” In 2021, he won the overall Trivium Multisport series for males. In 2022, he be racing my first 70.3 in Chattanooga with TTT-mates.
Royce has been on the team since early 2019. “I joined since I heard great things about it on a local Performance Bicycles group ride (I miss that store!).”
His goals as a board member include: attracting more and new faces to our monthly events, building relationships with our sponsors, and being a role model for new teammates.
Outside of triathlon, Royce is a huge NASCAR/motorsports fan. He is originally from Philadelphia and LOVES cheesesteaks!
Nick Atz
Vice President
Nick joined TTT in 2020 after completing High Point Sprint Triathlon as his first triathlon in 2019. Since
then, he has completed two half ironman events and participates in Sprint and Olympic distance events
in the Triad area each year. Nick has enjoyed getting to know the many awesome triathletes in our area
and seeks to continue fostering the triad triathlon community. Outside of triathlon, Nick enjoys anything
outdoors, especially when the (3) dogs are involved, and accompanies his partner Nicole in some of her
trail running adventures.
Arlene Barbosa
Treasurer
Arlene was introduced to the sport of triathlon when her husband asked her to do a race with him. She started doing them as a "bucket list" item, but quickly realized how incredibly blessed she was to "tri". After years of competing, she now gets to enjoy her kids competing, racing with friends and introducing friends to the sport. Arlene has participated in Sprint, Olympic and Half Ironman Distance events, along with countless running events, her favorites being Nat Greene’s Tri and the Myrtle Beach half marathon.
Arlene was drawn to TTT in 2017 after witnessing the support and camaraderie the team offered. She has held the position as team treasurer for several years and maintains her role in 2022 with the goal to “grow the team even more and offer more team building experiences.”
Outside of training, Arlene holds a degree in civil engineering, has been married for 20 years this September. She has 3 kids, (Ana 14, twins Oscar and David 12) and has been an instructor at the YMCA for 20 years. She enjoys working for Junction 311 racing, and this past year, her family adopted their first rescue dog, Midnight!
Jim Jeremiah
Website Administrator
Jim joined the world of triathlon to stay motivated, push his physical limits, and set a positive example for his sons, Dylan and Jacob. As a former Navy rescue swimmer, Jim is very comfortable in the water, though he wouldn’t call himself the fastest swimmer out there!
Since joining TTT in 2024, he has truly valued the camaraderie, and opportunities the team provides to train with others and share our hard learned lessons. He is excited to serve as a new board member and the Website Administrator and looks forward to contributing to the team’s success and growth.
Zachary Gootman
Team Events Coordinator
Zachary Gootman’s journey into endurance sports began with running alongside his wife,
Candace, as part of a lifestyle change and weight loss journey. In 2022, he took the plunge into
his first triathlon at Smiley Sprint Triathlon, driven by a desire to take on one of the most
demanding physical challenges he could imagine and prove that the old version of himself was
gone. Since then, Zack has been a fixture at local racing, including winning the 2023 Trivium
Multisport Series in the Clydesdale division and a first-place age group finish at the Belew’s
Lake Sprint. Zack has also participated in several Ironman-branded events, finishing his first full-
distance race at Ironman Florida in 2024.
Kara Davis
Director of Social Media
Kara joined TTT in 2019 and the board in 2021 as director of social media. As a former competitive swimmer, Kara had always had her eye on competing in triathlon, but it seemed like an unattainable goal. After moving to Greensboro, she had heard of a local triathlon team (TTT) and signed up for that and NC 70.3 on the same day (go big or go home). She was glad that she had team support, as she now needed to train.
Her favorite races include Belew’s Lake Triathlon and IMNC 70.3. Her 2022 race schedule is still in the works, but includes Oak Island Marathon, 70.3 Augusta (Maine, not Georgia) and IM 70.3 Worlds in St. George, UT. Her goals for the TTT in 2022 is to collaboratively plan and promote team events to increase participation within our community.
Kara is originally from New Jersey, married to Jason, a mom of 3 boys 8 and under and 2 dogs. She is a former DI swimmer and a RN working in the ICU.
Amy Arruda
Director of Membership
Amy did her first triathlon on a whim in college with very little training. After a long break she got back into triathlons in 2021 and has done many races since then. Triathlon has provided a wonderful way to keep active and find a great community through TTT! In her free time when not working as a PA, Amy enjoys spending time with her husband, trail runs with her dog Daisy, and various artistic and musical pursuits.
Cary Maycock
Board Member at Large
If you have been to any local race, chances are you have seen Cary on the course, or the podium. Cary has been a member of TTT since the mid-2000’s and a key member of our local triathlon community. She joins the board in 2022 with a goal of encouraging team members to “enjoy the camaraderie of training and racing together no matter what level or distance you are participating in.”
Cary’s favorite races include: Belew’s Lake Triathlon and Chattanooga 70.3/140.6. Her strongest races have been Raleigh 70.3 in 2018 and Williamsburg 70.3 2019. Her upcoming races in 2022 include the Trivium Series, Blue Ridge 70.3, and potentially Knoxville SwimRun.
Cary’s husband Joel is also triathlete. She has 3 grown kids, and has worked as a PT at Moses Cone for the past 30 years.
Audrey Miller
Team Events Coordinator
Audrey Miller joined the team in 2020, just before the COVID shutdown. However, through virtual bike racing on Zwift and open water swims, she made the best of making friends and quickly settled into a group of like-minded athletes. Since then, those friends have inspired and motivated her to try numerous adventures. She has discovered trail running, relay events, Ironman 70.3, and shorter tri races. She is forever grateful for the sisterhood they have become. She looks forward to more racing, new friends, and future adventures through expanding her commitment to the team through board service this year. Her favorite local race is the High Point Triathlon. During her career as a local public educator, she has also gotten into coaching youth running through her school’s GOFAR team that includes 60 young runners. She is also a wife and mother of two, Charlie (20) and Catherine (18).
