HALF IRONMAN DISTANCE PROGRAM

2009 Season Preliminary info here.

2008 Season:
TriLife Coaching offers event specific coached Half Ironman programs, specifically designed to prepare you for peak performance on event day. The focus races for the 2008 seasonwere the St. Croix Ironman 70.3 event in the U.S. Virgin Islands and Timberman Ironman 70.3 event in New Hampshire. Both races are an official qualifiers for the Ironman World Championship 70.3 event. Timberman race course is considered one of the most beautiful in the continental U.S. and the late summer timing of this event is perfect for northeast triathletes looking to race in peak condition. If you are considering a different Half Ironman event in late summer, we invite you to contact the coaches directly to discuss possibilities of training with this team. TriLife Half Ironman training programs are usually 16 weeks in duration, which we have found to be ideal timing to train efficient technique, enhance base conditioning, build to peak conditioning and rock on race day. Our simple premise is that you will become a smarter, stronger and more efficient athlete by training with a team under the supervision of experienced coaches.
 
TriLife Half Ironman programs require an initial interview process and athlete assessment period.  Pre-requisites include: previous triathlon racing experiences, and basic swimming ability.  Following the interview process, athletes accepted into the TriLife Half Ironman program will join their teammates for coached group workout sessions, and will receive monthly and weekly training plans, articles and other training resources via email and website.

TriLife’s Half Ironman programs draw primarily on the unparalleled coaching abilities of Earl Walton, George Vafiades, and Nina Strika.  Each coach is intimately familiar with the "TriLife way of coaching”.  The coaches are all equally motivated to spread passion for the “TriLife way of life” in which athletes learn and are motivated to pursue long term, healthy and active lifestyles.

All Half Ironman programs includes the following benefits: initial evaluation assessment, three or more coached sessions per week, access to periodic swim sessions at Asphalt Green, seminars and clinics by coaches and guest speakers, coaching at training camp(s), team environment, membership in the Asphalt Green TriClub, access to TriLife social events, discounts at affiliate partners, race day coaching and support at designated events.
