Racine 70.3 (also Door County Half or Vineman 70.3)

The Racine 70.3 program has been designed by Sharone Aharon, USAT Level III coach, to meet the training requirements of athletes at any ability level.

This training group is for you whether you are:

an individual focused on improving your form and technique to finish the race strong
an intermediate or advanced athlete with some multisport experience, prepared to take your race day performance to the next level
an athlete with a long-term goal of completing a full Ironman

All participants receive an online training program, which details exactly what to do each day to reach your specific race day goal. Participants will train with like-minded athletes twice per week, guided closely by Well-Fit's USA Triathlon-certified coaches who will not only share knowledge but provide additional motivation.

Two classes each week will take place at the world-class Well-Fit Training Center, UIC pool, Northerly Island and Ohio Street Beach. Dates and times are listed in the class registration section below. The program includes a fully-supported group ride on the Racine 70.3 bike course in Racine, Wisconsin.

The program will be led by Coach Ted Ramos, who has years of experience helping athletes accomplish their goals at the half-Ironman distance. He will be assisted by other Well-Fit coaches and Elite Team athletes.

In 2010, every athlete that completed Coach Ted's 70.3 program had so much fun that they signed up for Ironman Wisconsin 2011 to continue chasing their triathlon dreams.

Testimonials:

" I wanted to let you know that my Well-Fit training for Steelhead was one of the most rewarding and incredible experiences I've ever had. Noelle and John were phenomenal coaches, the camp was unforgettable, my team members were amazing, and all of the well-planned workouts led me to a great race. I'm not exactly a natural athlete, but I really enjoy setting and achieving goals for myself. I'm really excited to participate in more Well-Fit training programs this year." - Anne Bowers, 2010 Steelhead 70.3 finisher

"Thanks for being such a great coach Ted! We would not have made it without you. Okay, maybe, but definitely not as fast." - Kathleen Harper, 2010 Racine 70.3 finisher

"I wouldn't have made it off the bike without you!" - Cindy Potocki, 2010 Racine 70.3 finisher

"You've been an awesome coach Ted. I can't wait to train with you again in the future." - Deb Kot, 2010 Door County Half-Iron finisher (personal best)
