Your goal isn't a wish. It's a plan. CrushThisCourse turns the finish you want into a race strategy proven against real results dating back to 2002: 2.4 million finishes across 1,800+ race editions, so you know it holds up on race day, not just on paper. BIKE POWER PLAN The bike is where your race is won or lost, so this is where CrushThisCourse goes deepest. It builds a course-aware power plan for your exact race: the optimal watts for every climb, flat, and descent that hit your goal split without torching your run. See how much time a smart power plan saves you versus riding a steady number, then export it as a .fit file ready for your bike computer and ride to it. DIAL IN EVERY SPLIT Set your swim, T1, bike, T2, and run, and instantly see your probability of hitting your goal, from a podium to a Top 10 to a personal best. Adjust any split and watch the odds move in real time. PRESSURE-TEST AGAINST REAL DATA No estimates, no guesswork. Every prediction is checked against real finisher times and placings, 2.4 million results across 1,800+ race editions and more than 300 distinct triathlons dating back to 2002, the kind of field-comparison depth most apps in this category simply do not have. The plan you take to the start line is one the data says you can hold. FOR COACHES CrushThisCourse is built for coaches working with athletes all season, not just on race day. Build a full race strategy and course-aware bike power plan for anyone on your roster and deliver it in one tap. Your athletes get their own login to check splits, adjust their plan, and export their own .fit file, ready to ride. One coach subscription covers your whole roster. EVERY DISTANCE Full, 70.3, Olympic, and sprint. Whether it is your first finish or your fastest, CrushThisCourse gives you the watts, the splits, and the confidence to race your plan. Stop guessing. Build the plan. Hit the number.
