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 enjoyed 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.
The 2018/2019 DARE TO TRI Programme officially kicked off in August, but you can still sign up 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.
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!
