TRILIFE 70.3/SHORT COURSE TEAM
For 70.3 races, Olympic races and anything in between.
If you are eyeing a half ironman distance or shorter race, this is the program for you. Ideal for June and July races, though many will fit into our training schedule.
THE TRILIFE TEAM EXPERIENCE
Ross Galitsky and Scott Willett founded TriLife in 2004 with the unique mission of providing athletes with a training program that comprehensively addresses the physiological, psychological and emotional adaptations required to not just finish, but to successfully compete in Ironman, Half Ironman and Marathon events. As competitive athletes themselves, and with decades of coaching and mentoring experience, TriLife’s Head Coaches and Coaching Staff have a passion for the sport of triathlon, pursuit of personal athletic excellence, and a desire to share their knowledge and experience.
However, the true essence of TriLife is the magical way a group of people from all walks of life, with hugely variable athletic skills and experience, across a range of ages from 20 to 60+ come together every season to form a team. A team where lifelong friendships are made; where a teammate always has your back (spare goggles, lube, a ride anyone?); where teammates and coaches will push you to your limits and dole out tough love when needed, but who will also be there with a hug and advice if you need it; a family of teammates and coaches who are invested in your journey and success.
When you join TriLife, you become part of the TriLife family. We can’t wait to train with you!

Season Schedule:
We train our teams for a season, and plan season goals that build on experience, fitness and knowledge. In order to structure this we recommend “A”, “B”, “C” races.
“A” Race = Your primary focus race – you are trained, you are ready. Recommended in July or August.
“B” Race = You are trained and fit, but use this for race fine tuning.
“C” Race = You don’t taper your training for this race. This can be a fun training day.
Typical Events:
International travel team A Race*
Domestic early summer B Race**
*Team athletes are also racing other domestic 70.3 events as their A race.
** Race day coaching based on number athletes attending. Additional B and C races may be added to the schedule as needed. Alternate races that fall within reasonable time range of A races are possible. If you’d like to do a late season race, an extension is possible. Please see below.

- A.D.A.P.T – Advanced Data Analysis Performance and Training – $100/month with a 3 month initial commitment. The intent of this added benefit is to provide dedicated and athlete-specific one-on-one collaboration with a coach. This occurs in the form of a monthly scheduled phone call to establish/review/update goals, manage individual swim/bike/run progressions as well as the overall season progression and to review nutrition and weight management strategies before/during/after training and, finally, to review up to 4 key training sessions per month. The aim is to ensure the athlete recognizes their biggest opportunities for improvement and to raise the athlete’s knowledge base to the next level.
- Requires Training Peaks Premium account, heart rate monitor or power meter and a GPS watch/computer.
REMOTE TRAINING – For athletes who cannot attend team workouts due to location or scheduling, we are offering a remote training option. The initial 3 month minimum program is $550, then $150 a month thereafter. This includes personalized data analysis and regular access to your personal coach. A 10 month season would be $1,600, which averages out to $160 a month – a great deal! A Training Peaks Premium account is required. Should you choose, you may also take advantage of our A La Carte Drop In camps or workouts. Please inquire for more info.
