DARE TO TRI
WANT TO DO YOUR FIRST IRONMAN
70.3 EVENT IN EARLY 2019?
Then sign up for the Modern Athlete DARE TO TRI programme and we’ll get you there!
T
he Modern Athlete DARE TO TRI (DTT) Academy has had seven very successful years since our initial coaching project took 10 novices to compete at the 2012
Ironman 70.3 South Africa in East London. In this time, our programme has transformed hundreds of everyday athletes and even self-confessed ‘couch potatoes’ into
successful Ironman triathletes.
Now the 2018/2019 DARE TO TRI Programme kicks off this August, so sign up today and let us help you reach your triathlon goals.
Manageable Build-up
The success of DTT is that it is an affordable, manageable and sustainable training programme that fits in with your family, work and social commitments. The programme
will once again incorporate shorter sprint, standard and 5150 triathlons, as well as MiWay Ultra series events, in the build-up to Ironman 70.3. The programme caters for
both novices and those looking to improve their previous Half Iron times.
Tried and Trusted Programme
Each week DTT members receive an e-mail detailing the week’s recommended training,
and weekday training is done by yourselves (or with a training group). Then on weekends
you can join coached DTT sessions presented by DTT Coach Derick Marcisz, who can
look back on 48 years as a runner, cyclist and triathlete, has competed in more than 120
triathlons and duathlons at all distances from sprint to Ironman, and has represented
South Africa in his age group at five World Triathlon/Duathlon Championships. He is a
qualified TSA triathlon coach and has been coaching for more than 20 years.
Come Meet the Coach
The 2018/2019 Programme will start with
an Info Session on Sunday 6 August at
the Jeppe Quondam Club in Bedfordview,
Johannesburg, where you can meet the
DTT Coach and find out more about the
programme. The training will then start
officially on Monday 7 August.
Still the Most Affordable Option!
For just R1650 you will receive expert coaching and be able to join coached weekend group training sessions from 7 August 2018 till
Ironman PE in April 2019. You cannot get this level of coaching for this period at this cost anywhere else!
