WHY CUSTOMTRI EXISTS

A personalized starting point for every athlete who wants to enter the sport of triathlon — without the guesswork.

CustomTri was created to help people get started in triathlons, and to serve as a reliable tool as you work your way up to longer distances.

When I first got into the sport, I ran into the same wall most beginners hit. There was too much conflicting information online, generic PDF plans that treated every athlete the same, and websites charging what felt like a lot of money for a plan that had no idea who I was or where I was starting from. I did not have aspirations to go pro. I also did not have the budget for a personal coach. And I was not willing to pay for an off-the-shelf plan that did not meet me where I actually was, athletically or in my journey.

The idea is simple. Take into account where you are right now; your experience level, your schedule, your race distance, your goals, and build a plan around that. Not around some idealized athlete. Around you.

Finding the right training plan when you are just starting out is genuinely harder than it should be. Plans you find online require your best guess to adapt them, which leads to mediocre preparation at best and overtraining or injury at worst. CustomTri removes that guesswork. Your answers shape your plan. Your fitness level, your available days, your race date — all of it factors in.

This is not a replacement for professional coaching, and we say that honestly. If you are chasing podiums or pushing toward full-distance racing at a competitive level, a certified coach and a registered dietitian will always give you more. CustomTri is your starting point, built for the athlete who is ready to commit to the sport without overcomplicating the entry.

Train smart. Fuel well. Enjoy the journey.
