Ironman 70.3 Racine & Ironman 70.3 Muncie & Door County Half Ironman
Go long this season and train for the Racine Half Ironman or Muncie Half Ironman! Join our 14-week Group Training Program for the either the Ironman 70.3 Racine, Door County Half Ironman or Ironman 70.3 Muncie (a half ironman distance event!). This is a proven group training program designed for those looking to move from sprint and olympic distance triathlons to the half iron distance.
In addition to having a professionally coached program, everyone will meet in a group twice weekly for workouts to stay extra motivated. We will go up to the race site several times to practice on the actual course and swim, bike and run. We will have pool sessions, open water sessions, CompuTrainer(R) Cycling Sessions and Track workouts included in this program.
We have two levels in the program (beginner and intermediate). We limit our program to 12 women as we specialize in providing individual attention and support in a small group environment. Hurry, we expect to sell out of this program early! Doing Munice 70.3 instead? No problem, we can adjust the program for that event!

Testimonials
"It just goes to show you that you never know what can happen and I am very thankful that I do have the ability to get out and do these kind of things that many people cannot. That being said, the whole training process was really the best part of the whole race. I truly enjoyed meeting and getting to know my fellow athletes and you and all the wonderful people at Max. Everyone I have met has been helpful and willing to share advice. I am definately going to miss seeing everyone on a regular basis."-Mary
"I wish I could put in words my gratitude to you and all of the Max coaches for the tremendous coaching you provided to me as I completed my first half ironman distance triathlon. My goal was to finish--which I did--but through the process not only did I learn athletic skills, I learned more about myself as a person. I am grateful that Max Multisport has entered my life. You are an amazing group of supportive coaches and athletes, and I am glad to be a part of it."-Beth Ann
