RACE RECON
IRONMAN 70.3® 2025​

Why Recon with GREAT ENDURANCE?

Prepare like a pro! You've worked hard to earn your slot for the World Championship 70.3 in Marbella and you want to maximize the experience. So why not enhance it with personalized Ironman training on the exact course in advance!

Working within your existing training plan, you will recon the course with a local Ironman U certified and Tridot triathlon coach.

We will tailor your program with you, your coach, your training software and provide analysis and feedback based on your recon training experience.
