What is Zero to Sixty (0 to 60)?

This 12-week program provides the coaching, training structure, and mentorship to get you ready for your first Olympic distance triathlon! (1.5k swim, 40k bike, and 10k run).

Key dates, Info Session, Registration

0 to 60 usually runs from late January to April but it depends on our target race. We’re still finalizing the details for 2025.

There are only 25 spots. It sold out last year in 72 hours so best to reserve your spot early.

Registration will open in mid-December. We’ll also be hosting an a zoom info session around then.

Will you really take me from zero to my first triathlon?

While it is a beginner program we do expect you to have a basic level of swimming, biking, and running. We offer clinics that will help you greatly improve all three events, but the program does not teach you how to swim or ride a bike.

Your training plan and select clinics are led by certified coaches. Coaches and club members will lead many of the workouts.

What does the program include?

• 12-week training plan with coach Megan Tobin

• Weekly track workouts with coach JD and swim practice with coach Mike

• Weekly group bike rides with fellow 0-60 participants, led by seasoned club members

• Beginner clinics like open water swimming 101, how to change a flat tire, bike handling

• Group sessions on nutrition, transition, pacing, and other topics

• A no-pressure mini-triathlon to prep for race day!

• A private slack group to communicate with your cohort members and club mentors.

• An SF Tri Club Running Shirt

• Discounts from our sponsors on gear, services, and races

• Social hours to get to know fellow members out of their spandex 😅

• And most importantly, a wonderful community to support you and keep you accountable!

• Not included: Entry fees for the target race. You need to sign up for your race directly with the race organizers. Depending on our target race we usually get a discount code for 10 to 20% off.

How much does the program cost?

We’re still finalizing the cost — but to give you an idea, last year the program costs $300 for members, and $400 for non-members.

For non-members, the program comes with a 1-year membership to the San Francisco Triathlon Club (worth $125) so you can continue working out with us even after the race! You'll continue to have access to coached track and swim workouts, member-led workouts, discounts with our sponsors/races, training groups, social events, and more!

What is your refund or cancelation policy?

We do not offer refunds. Once you’re in, there’s no turning back! If you have any questions feel free to email us at info@sftriclub.org

When are workouts? Does it fit with my schedule?

The general schedule is

• Coached track on Tuesdays from 6:45 - 8pm @ Kezar Stadium

• Coached swim practice on Fridays from 6 - 7:30pm @ Balboa Pool

• Bike rides on Saturday mornings usually start at Golden Gate Park

• Open water swims on Sunday mornings at Aquatic Park (starts in the second half of the program)

If you’re not able to attend a workout, no worries. Life gets busy, it's totally understandable. You'll have access to the training plan so you can still do the workout on your own time.

In addition, to these group workouts, there will be some workouts to do on your own time such as strength, stretching, pool laps, or a bike ride.

What equipment and gear will I need for the program?

You’'ll need a few things

• For running, you’ll need a good pair of running shoes.

• For biking, you’ll need a bike (ideally a road bike but any bike will do), a helmet, and padded shorts - your booty will thank you 😅. In addition, you’ll need a spare tube, bike levers, and a pump in case you get a flat.

• For swimming, you’ll need a bathing suit, goggles, and a swim cap. Towards the second half of the program, we’ll begin open water swimming where you’ll need a wetsuit and body glide.

Optional items - a heart rate monitor / smart watch, cycling gloves, cycling shoes/clips, chamois cream, and athletic sunglasses.

You don’t need to purchase these all at once, and we’re happy to give you advice on what to buy. We have a bunch of discounts from our sponsors like 20% off at Sports Basement at our 2025 Season kick off (details coming soon).

What should my goal be for my first triathlon? Just finishing or something more?

If you’re a little competitive and want to go for a specific time or even podium, we’ll definitely support you!

That being said, finishing your first triathlon is a huge accomplishment in itself! And for most, this is an excellent goal, especially for your first race.

The most important thing is to set a goal that feels right for you and that you're excited about. We’re happy to help you figure out what's right for you.

I'm not sure if I'm ready for an Olympic distance triathlon. Can I still join the program?

Absolutely! The program is designed to help you build up your skills and endurance gradually, so you can feel confident and prepared on race day.

If you're not sure if an Olympic distance triathlon is right for you, Coach Megan can help you determine the best distance based on your current fitness level and goals.
