TriDot's Preseason Project 2013 Results Highlights (9:34) The Preseason Project was designed to test and improve the effectiveness and proven science of TriDot preseason (and inseason) training.

What's Your TriDot?

What reaction would you get if you asked a fellow triathlete, "What's Your TriDot?" Today, they'd probably give you an expression similar to the "eyes-wide-open-with-a-straight-line-mouth" Emoji face. But the reality is the TriDot Score can change triathlete conversations about training, performance and potential. Think of it like a golf handicap. If you're a 19 handicap and you're talking to a 2 handicap, you immediately have context for the conversation. The same is true of the TriDot Score. Before you start weeks of triathlon training, wouldn't it be great if you could quantify your overall triathlon fitness with a baseline score? And get a score for each discipline too? What if these scores helped identify which areas offer the biggest training payoff (i.e. better results, more efficient training) and served a role in tracking your progress? You can and…

And that’s exactly what we’re doing at TriDot. THE BIRTH OF TRIDOT Since my first sprint triathlon in 2003, I have been intrigued with not only the sport of triathlon — but also the training science behind it. As I began researching the science, I found training resources to be mostly generic philosophies, unproven theories, vague concepts, one-size-fits-all templates, and personal anecdotes. Many of these conflicted with each other. And any published research I reviewed was too small of a sample size to be conclusive or broadly applied. While I…
