FAQS
Who is this for?
This program is intended for our intermediate to experienced athletes, meaning you have completed an Olympic distance event at least once within the past 12-months. Special consideration will be given to those that may not have completed a triathlon - please contact Coach Neil directly. Additionally, you must be in good physical condition.
When will I be working out?
Training schedules will be updated weekly. As a participant, you'll be able to log-in to Training Peaks and view your workout schedule for the week. There will be one group weekend workout each week of the program. (Sunday’s with additional Saturday options)
Where will I be training?
Weekend group workouts will be held in San Francisco, Marin and on the Vineman Course including swimming in the Russian River, biking the full 56-mile course and previewing the run course. We also encourage all participants to attend the GGTC track workouts on Wednesday nights. During the week you can train on your own or with other HIT participants.
What happens if I can't make it to all the workouts? As an experienced athlete, you know the drill, knocking out your workouts is up to you. Keep to the schedule as best you can. You can always contact your coaches for help in planning your week.
Do I have to race? No. Participation is optional. This program is about trying something new, setting goals, and achieving them. Many participants use this program as a way to see if they want to do a future 70.3 or IronMan!
