Train for the Ironman 70.3 Santa Cruz with Cadoo
The Ironman 70.3 Santa Cruz is a 70.3 Triathlon in Santa Cruz, CA on Sep 13, 2026. Signing up is the easy part — showing up for every training session until race day is where most people fall off. Cadoo fixes that by turning your build-up into a money-motivated game: stake money on hitting each session, hit your goal and get paid, miss it and your stake goes to the athletes who showed up.

Your Transition Timer training game
For an event like this, Cadoo runs a Transition Timer game — a 16-week plan pitched at difficulty 7/10. It builds the specific fitness this event demands, one verified session at a time. Every rep, mile, and minute is verified (reps by CadooVision's AI camera check, distance and steps via Apple Health or Google Health Connect), so the money only moves on work you actually did.
Built for training crews like #TransitionKing, #TriLife, #EnduranceStack.
Running with friends or a club? This one supports team mode — rally a crew, keep each other honest, and chase the start line together.
