Problem
Triathletes often struggle to create comprehensive race plans that account for pacing, nutrition, and weather conditions, leading to suboptimal performance and increased risk of underperformance during races. Manually integrating these factors is time-consuming and prone to errors, hindering athletes from achieving their race day goals.
Solution
RaceDay is a mobile application designed to generate personalized triathlon race plans by integrating pacing, nutrition, and weather data tailored to an athlete's abilities. The app utilizes athlete-provided swim start time, target pacing, and transition times to compute discipline-specific and overall projected race times. It incorporates a nutrition planner, allowing athletes to input hydration and fuel components at 15-minute intervals, comparing the plan to nutritional goals and highlighting variations. RaceDay also leverages weather forecasting to display anticipated conditions at the race venue, enabling athletes to adjust training and nutritional needs accordingly. The app then compiles this data into a standardized PDF report that can be shared with coaches and fellow triathletes.
