The Complete Guide to Your First 70.3 Triathlon
The Complete Guide to Your First 70.3 Triathlon is your all-in-one resource to train smart, race strong, and cross your first Ironman finish line with confidence.
Written by journalist and triathlete Brittany Vermeer (that’s me!) a 12x 70.3 finisher, 2x Ironman finisher, and 4x 70.3 World Championship qualifier. This 100+ page e-book takes the guesswork out of training and race prep and gives you a roadmap to follow.
This is everything I wished I knew before I did my first 70.3 triathlon, and I want to share it with you. :)
Here’s what’s inside:
How training changes from short-course triathlon to long-distance triathlon
Important skills you will need to learn, with my favorite drills to improve
Recommended gear and training essentials
How to conquer open water swimming with confidence
Smart pacing and fueling strategies for race day
Mental tools to stay calm and confident under pressure
Step-by-step guidance for navigating race week, transitions, aid stations, and race rules
Lessons learned from real-world experience— what works, what doesn’t, and what no one tells you before race day
Whether you’re training for your first half-ironman, or just haven’t been able to race to your potential at this distance, this book is for you.
