Ironman 70.3 Sunshine Coast – 8 Sept 2019
Our absolute favourite long-distance triathlon! Ironman 70.3 Sunshine Coast offers the best of triathlon in Australia – energising sunshine, stunning coastline, lush landscape and awesome crowd support. That’s why we keep going back for more… and in 2019 we’d love you to join us!
The 1.9km swim takes place at Mooloolaba’s spectacular surf beach – starting and finishing at the ‘Loo with a View’. Cheering crowds await you as you exit transition for the 90km cycle-leg which heads out onto the Sunshine Coast Motorway – it’s fast and smooth with a few undulations. Finally, the 21km run takes in the iconic Mooloolaba Esplanade for a 2-lap run following the coastline. The crowd support is sensational!
If you’re a seasoned triathlete who has completed a few standard-distance triathlons – this event is definitely for you.
About our Program
Our programs are always build on the foundation of having FUN!
We start our 16-week Tri-FIT program on Mon 20 May 2019. The program is structured into periodised blocks focused on base, build, peak & taper phases. Each week we will complete training sessions for all three disciplines – swim, bike and run. We train together as a team, as this offers encouragement, motivation, accountability for showing up and a great sense of camaraderie between fellow triathlete buddies. Most of these sessions are coached sessions, however there are a few sessions that will need to be completed on your own (or with your buddies).
You will receive your own online training plan sent to you each week via Training Peaks. Our aim is to customise each individual training plan so that it fits in with your lifestyle. We feel very strongly that your training is balanced with your family and work commitments.
