The Road to Giant Acorn

No. This is an optional paid training program created specifically for Richmond Triathlon Club athletes and delivered by Tabula Rasa Racing. RTC membership and training-group enrollment are separate. 

No. Race registration for the Kinetic Giant Acorn Sprint or Olympic triathlon must be completed separately. The training-group fee covers the coaching and training support described on this page. 

No. Group workouts are optional opportunities to train with other RTC athletes and receive additional coaching support. You can still participate in the program if you are unable to attend every session. 

This is a structured, race-specific group training plan rather than fully customized one-to-one coaching. Coach Justin will use your athlete intake and training feedback to provide guidance and make reasonable adjustments when needed, but the program does not include unlimited individual plan redesigns. 

Missing an occasional workout is normal and does not mean you should try to make up everything at once. Contact Coach Justin for guidance on how to adjust your schedule safely. If you become injured, training may need to be modified or paused, and you may be asked to seek medical clearance before continuing. 

You do not need to be an experienced or fast triathlete. You should be able to safely begin training for your selected distance and complete basic swim, bike, and run workouts. 

For the Olympic training group, registration closes July 5, 2026. For the sprint training group, registration closes August 2, 2026.

The fee includes the race-specific training plan, premium Training Peaks subscription, coaching feedback and guidance, opportunities to ask questions, group-training opportunities, and race-preparation support. Race registration, equipment, travel, and other personal expenses are not included. 

Your workouts will be delivered through Training Peaks, the training platform used by Tabula Rasa Racing. Setup instructions will be provided after enrollment. 

You can ask training-related questions and communicate with Coach Justin through the Training Peaks platform throughout the program. Messages are reviewed during normal coaching hours, and responses are typically provided within 24 hours. 

You may cancel for a full refund within 48 hours of purchase, provided the program has not begun. After 48 hours but before the start date, refunds are subject to a $25 administrative fee and any nonrefundable TrainingPeaks costs already paid. Program fees are nonrefundable once training begins. Medical withdrawals may be considered for a prorated TRR credit on an individual basis. Please review the complete cancellation and refund policy before enrolling.
