FastForward to Ironman Wisconsin 2013

Announcing FastForward's 6th Annual Ironman Program for 2013...

After five successful and super fun training seasons helping over 100 athletes to reach their Ironman dreams, we are happy to continue the tradition next year at IM MOO in Madison, Wisconsin on September 8th, 2013! 

 

FastForward athletes had an awesome experience with this race in 2008, and we are excited to return again this year!  Our coaches feel strongly that the very best time of year for Ironman is late summer, which best suits our Colorado weather and optimal outdoor training season (March - September).  Earlier races require too much indoor training and/or unpleasant outdoor sessions, and fall Ironman races also risk foul weather for key sessions, plus possible burn out from too long a tri season.

 

 

Race Registration will be ON YOUR OWN, and will sell out... likely the day (hour) they open online, so you will need to have computer access on Monday morning, September 10^th in order to sign up.  An official F4 hotel will be designated, and will require individual registration as soon as it becomes available.

 

Team Training- By selecting one official goal race the F4 IM Team will be able to training together throughout the season, including a number of practice races and road trips along the way, as well as provide race weekend support in Madison.  It is a unique and highly valuable benefit to be able to train for Ironman with the support of your teammates, and only FastForward offers this opportunity.

 

Training will run from January 9th - September 8^th, 2013 with the first two month’s informal training focusing on swim/ bike/ run technique clinics, equipment, nutrition, and other fun low-key educational sessions before commencing formal training in March.
