/in /by

The ‘Big Husky’ Triathlon Festival has become one of Australia’s most loved events. As the second largest triathlon event in the southern hemisphere – attracting 5,000+ fabulous athletes – Huskisson comes alive with a festival of fun, fitness and friendships. 

The festival offers a variety of races over the weekend, from Super-Sprint to Ultimate distances. There is even the Miniman race for the kids (7-11yrs), plus ocean swims, fun runs and aquabike. A weekend packed with sporting activities!

 About the Program

Our 16-week Tri-FIT program starts on Mon 5 Nov 2018.  It is based on 4 x weekly coached group sessions* and 2 x weekly individual training sessions. The program will be adjusted based on your race distance – Sprint, Classic or Ultimate.
(* Total number of group coached sessions may vary on certain weeks)

All athletes will receive their own training plan sent to you each week via Training Peaks. This plan will be customized to accommodate your lifestyles – so that you are able to balance family, work and training commitments.

Special Base Training

We are also offering a special 3-week Tri-FIT base training program, to gear you up ahead of the main 16-week program. This base training starts on Mon 15 Oct 2018 and will include 3 x coached weekly sessions – strength, run intervals and indoor bike. A great opportunity to build you base fitness and ahead of the main program.

“Ironman 70.3 Sunny Coast was a challenging race. I looked at the ocean that morning and the big challenge ahead and felt excitement.  I wasn’t the same hesitant woman as last year.  I swam through a rough ocean, rode a bike through the rain and ran for a long time.  When not long ago, that was all a dream for me.  I still smile when I think of that day.  It has changed my perspective on myself, my capabilities and life.”
Sandra Gallo (Ironman 70.3 Sunshine Coast 2018)

If you’ve been tempted to step up the distance from short to middle, to a mixed-distance – then we’ve got two great programs to support two awesome events!  

Triathlon is a beautiful sport. It is such an equaliser. Where one person is strong in one discipline, they are challenged in another. Conversely, where another person is strong in a different discipline, they are challenged in another. That’s the beauty of triathlon. It’s a winner for everyone!

Which is why we are SO excited about launching our latest training programs for two awesome upcoming triathlon events:
