Stop guessing. Pace your course with a plan—before the marathon catches you.

Physics-based simulation using GPX/TCX data, wind, and aerodynamics (CwA) → clear, segment-by-segment decisions. Get a race strategy in minutes—not weeks of guesswork.

This is what the result looks like

No more guesswork. You get a TrackIQ strategy: go faster through smarter distribution—at the same overall load (WP), tuned to the course, wind, and aero.

  • See instantly where a watt actually saves time (gradient, wind, aerodynamics)
  • Segment-by-segment power plan instead of “ride steady”: controlled surges + recovery
  • Cap surges realistically: intensity, max threshold, and an optional over-threshold budget (CP/W′ thinking)
Tip: If you don’t know your CdA or CP/W′ yet, start with presets—you’ll immediately see how sensitive your time and strategy are to them.

Every course tells a different story.

Triathlon often gets reduced to training plans and averages. But on race day, something else matters: the decisions you make on your exact course — in real conditions.

The problem (that costs minutes)
  • Generic pacing rules break down on real-world courses.
  • Wind + elevation profile + aero change the race completely.
  • Uncertainty leads to overcooking it—and the marathon pays the price.
  • Gut feeling seems “okay”… until it’s too late.
What RaceYourTrack changes
  • We make courses predictable—instead of relying on “gut truths.”
  • We turn data into decisions (segment by segment).
  • You see the risk upfront—not afterwards in the splits.
  • You start with a plan—not with hope.

How it works

Upload the course. Choose the conditions. Get the result. In just a few minutes, you’ll have a strategy you can actually ride.

1
Load route

Import from the event database, Garmin®, Strava, or GPX/TCX.

2
Insights in 30 seconds

Time prediction, segment analysis, risk zones—clearly visualized.

3
Compare scenarios

Change wind, CdA, weight, target watts → pick the best strategy.

You don’t need to be an aero nerd: RYT turns physics into rideable decisions.

Is RaceYourTrack for you?

Yes, if…
  • you often think during races: “Did I overcook it on the bike?”
  • you want to plan courses specifically (triathlon, TT, gran fondo)
  • you don’t want to “guess” wind/elevation anymore
  • you want to take ownership of your strategy
Probably not, if…
  • you only want an average time without context
  • you don’t want anything to do with watts/HR—and you don’t want to change that
  • you prefer “one size fits all” instead of a course-specific plan

The 5 pacing mistakes that cost minutes

If you recognize yourself here: good. Then a simulation will bring you clarity—fast.

Too hard on “small” climbs
Feels short—but it burns energy and comes back to bite later.
Ignoring the wind
Same watts ≠ same speed. RYT shows you where it actually matters.
Not pushing enough in fast sections
Many hold back exactly where aero saves the most minutes.
Flying blind on CdA
You don’t need to know your CdA perfectly—but you should see the sensitivity.
Misallocating risk
Nicht “mutig” oder “vorsichtig” – sondern smart pro Segment.

Trust through methodology & clear accountability

RaceYourTrack isn’t an “estimator” — it’s a physics-based simulation tool. We’re transparent about who’s behind it, how we validate the models, and how the product is reliably operated as SaaS.

Validated—yet easy to understand

If you ride X watts on a Y gradient, Z has to happen. That’s exactly what we test: reproducible, physically consistent, and robust across courses.

In short: consistent predictions instead of “sounds plausible.”

How we verify data integrity
SaaS operations with clear standards

Login, billing, monitoring, and data protection are part of the product — so you can focus on training and race strategy.
