I can’t recommend Rapid Snail Racing enough! Working with coaches Robert and Rachel has been one of the best decisions I’ve made in preparing for Ironman 70.3 Muskoka.

From day one, they were incredibly attentive to my goals and tailored a training program specifically to my needs. As a busy real estate agent and father of three young children, finding time to train was one of my biggest concerns. Robert and Rachel created a program that fit seamlessly into my busy lifestyle, making it realistic, sustainable, and flexible without sacrificing the quality of my preparation.

Everything was exceptionally organized, with my workouts uploaded well in advance and broken down into scheduled weeks and daily sessions. Having a clear plan made training stress-free and allowed me to stay focused and consistent, even with a demanding work schedule and family life.

Their communication was outstanding. We had regular phone calls and weekly check-ins that kept me accountable, motivated, and on track throughout my training. Coach Robert even met me at the pool to work on my swim technique, which made a noticeable difference in my confidence and performance on race day.

What really sets Robert and Rachel apart is that they’re experienced triathletes and Ironman athletes themselves. Their firsthand knowledge, practical advice, and understanding of the physical and mental demands of the sport gave me complete confidence in their coaching.

Thanks to their guidance, organization, professionalism, and encouragement, I successfully completed Ironman 70.3 Muskoka—something I truly don’t believe I could have accomplished without them.

My experience with Rapid Snail Racing has been a 10/10. Whether you’re training for your first sprint triathlon or your next Ironman, I would recommend Robert and Rachel without hesitation. They genuinely care about your success, keep you accountable, and know exactly how to help you reach your goals while balancing the realities of everyday life.

I’m excited to continue working with them as I build toward another Ironman next year and continue improving as an athlete.

Thank you, Robert and Rachel, for everything you’ve done. I couldn’t have asked for better coaches!
