What our customers are saying:

I did it! I completed my first tri!! It went really well- I was pretty faithful following the app and it worked great! I competed in the Blue Lake All Womens Triathlon in the Sprint Tri. My goal was to just finish but I came in 69th overall out of 360 and 18th of 77 in my age group so I was pretty happily surprised. I felt really good throughout (not like I thought I was going to die or anything- like I was worried about!), so I think the training was right on and very helpful. Thanks for a great app and for helping me reach a goal of mine!
Cheers,
N.S.

Thanks for the app. I used it for the last 3 1/2 months in training for my first Tri, which I completed yesterday! The app was easy to use and pushed me without killing me. Keep up the good work!

I used your app to help with my first sprint tri. I really liked it and found the tips section especially helpful. The tri was awesome and I came in about 45 min less than I anticipated! I had a blast and will be doing more in the future!
Thanks, G.

Note: In order to be able to begin the training program, you should be able to do the following (individually, not one after another): (1) swim a total of 4 laps or 100 yards during a particular workout (this can include stops in-between laps); (2) bike for 20 minutes without stopping, at an easy, leisurely pace; and (3) run at least one mile continuously at an easy, leisurely effort.

We want to deliver a high quality application that you feel is worth 5 stars. Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any bug reports, suggestions, questions or concerns. Most of all, we would love to receive a race report after you complete your triathlon!

Pros and cons of First Time Triathlon app for iPhone and iPad

First Time Triathlon app good for

This is awesome - super easy to use, love the progress charts, and how it customizes the routines to your current skill level. Im working on my second tri - wish I had this for the first! Wouldve done a lot better :)
I just finished an Olympic distance triathlon (had to extrapolate a bit) and improved my time by six minutes. I look forward to future editions tailored to the Olympic, Half-Ironman, and Ironman distances.
This is a great application. Very simple, clean interface with well-explained workouts. It really does exactly what is says and is great for beginner to intermediate triathletes. Some new features (not sure if these are allowed by apple) would be a link to the nike plus workouts for the runs, the ability to buy other workouts from the app (longer distances, more advanced training) and finally a desktop version to sync to and keep track of things.
Worth the money because: 1) could see what I had to do each day. Workouts laid out nicely with explanations. Easy to use at gym. 2) could manage between days if work schedule forced an adjustment. 3) easier than using an online log for this lazy triathlete. Suggestions:Definitely need freedom to move a workout within a week. Ability to put comment on a day. Ability to export. MUST GIVE US MORE PLANS. I need this for my next race prep. Id pay $3 for a half Ironman plan.
This app has been quite helpful in preparing for my first sprint triathlon. It is super easy to follow and gives great tips. It would be even better if the user could change the workouts within a week...say, exchange bike for a run. I am sure it is set up for a reason so not a big deal there. It would also be nice to add workout notes about your performance on a particular day. Overall, an awesome app for the price! I should also mention I had a question and emailed the developer...she was fast and answered my question personally :)
This app has been really great helping me train for my first triathlon. I feel I will be more than ready for my first tri at the end of June. I too have had issues with swapping the swim workout on days when I can get to the pool, but it hasnt been a huge issue. I usually just do the bike and enter it, then go back and put my pool workout in. I did tell the developer about it and they are working to add it as a modification in the future. Developer is very responsive to suggestions and just released an app for Olympic distances called Triathlon Trainer. Cant wait to check it out!

Some bad moments

Lovely. Ive just paid $7 for a photo of a woman in a triathlon. Im sure this would be a helpful app - IF IT DID ANYTHING after installation. I was careful in my research and looking forward to a helpful new tool logging my training plan tonight. Will instead be pursuing a refund.
May have been good before, but app crashed several times in the first moments after I paid $6 for it. Loaded on a new iPhone 6 running OS 9. Now I cant change my projected triathlon date without the app crashing. Waste of money!
