Boston Triathlon preparation and race strategy
Boston Triathlon combines a Dorchester Bay swim, closed-road cycling and a South Boston run. The organizer publishes the final courses in the official athlete guide, so confirm the current edition rather than relying on an old distance or map. I prepare the effort, transitions and practical routine around the event you have entered.
How do I prepare for the bike course?
Rehearse steady effort, safe passing and the event’s rules. A closed road still requires attention to other athletes and possible pedestrian crossings.
What do I confirm before the start?
The final course, start procedure, transition entries and exits, equipment rules and available supplies. The current athlete guide takes priority over older descriptions.

Questions, answered.
What does coaching cost?
Essential is $250, Performance $350 and Elite $750 every four weeks. That is 13 payments per year. I cap the total roster at 15 athletes; Elite has a four-athlete cap. Availability is confirmed individually.
Who writes and reviews the plan?
I do. Your recent training, feedback and calendar shape the next block. Apex adapts a software plan and is a separate offer.
What should I bring to the first call?
Your target event, a recent representative result, the training you have actually completed and a typical work week. Tell me what you cannot move before we discuss what to add.
