Team JHOP Racing was started during the summer of 2007. Steve Trantham had been referring to Ken Junkins house as the house of pain for a few years due to the general difficulty of the workouts Ken would put his training partners through. When John LaFreniere began working out with the group in April of 2007, he came up with the acronym JHOP for Junkins House of Pain. The group initially included some guys that were primarily runners but over time it has evolved to be a triathlon team, although many of our members obviously still participate in non-triathlon events like running an cycling. The founding fathers of the club include Ken Junkins, Michael Moore, Stephen Trantham and John LaFreniere
