Together we are putting together a beginner team to do the Hammerhead HOT "Sprint" triathlon:
And an intermediate team to do the Miami 70.3 Half Ironman triathlon:
-------------
Group 1- HOT "Sprint" Triathlon:
The first group is for beginners. Want to do your first triathlon and not quite sure how to get started? Love the social aspect of working out in a group? This is the team for you. The only prerequisites for this group are that you have to own or have access to a bike for the couple months of training and you have to be able to swim 100 yards without stopping.
This group will train together for the HOT "Sprint" triathlon on September 28th. For those of you not familiar, a sprint triathlon is the shortest triathlon distance. This race consists of a 750 meter swim, a 20k bike and a 5k run. I will be putting together a 8 week training plan (2 month) for this race starting on August 3rd.
Group 2- Ironman Miami 70.3:
The second group is for beginners to intermediate triathletes. Maybe you have done a couple sprint races before or possibly an Olympic distance and want to step up to the Half Ironman distance? Or you have competed in a half already and want to improve your time? This is the group for you. The prerequisites for this group are that you have to be able to finish a sprint distance race: swim 750 yards, bike 20k and run 5k.
This group will train for Ironman Miami 70.3 on October 26th. I will be putting together a 12 week training plan (3 month) starting August 3rd.
Included in this training plan you will be encouraged to race the HOT "Olympic" Triathlon as a build up race for the Miami 70.3.
What's included in both:
-Personalized athletic assessment, backround and goal setting.
-An individualized daily training plan that will be reveiled a week at at time via TrainingPeaks. These plans will be tailored to each athletes strengths and weaknesses. Workouts are based on perceived exertion and heart rate zones.
-Once a week group meetups. This will come in the form of swim/bike/run training as a group. Additionally there will be social gatherings to discuss training, nutrition and race specific questions.
-Discounts from local sponsors
-Daily communication via in-person, phone and internet
Additionally, all of the offerings by Velocity Multisport members will be included in these plans. Check the website for more information. And I will be encouraging you to become a member of the Hammerheads and attended their monthly meetings on the first Wednesday of the month.
