Full Throttle’s success is in no small part due to the team’s founder and head coach, Scott Berlinger, 44, a former amateur bodybuilder and spandex-clad star of the television show “American Gladiator.” To subscribe to Inside Triathlon, click here. Follow Inside Triathlon on Facebook and Twitter.

Regular practices for Full Throttle begin right after New Year’s Day, with a 5:45 a.m. swim practice followed by a five- to seven-mile run. During the frigid early months the team does much of its training indoors, focusing on strength building with Thera-Bands and weights, core conditioning and volume work.

Stacy Creamer logs approximately 50 miles of running a week each year, in addition to her biking and swim training. But she’s not complaining. “My friends think I’ve joined a cult or the Marines, but I love it,” she said. To subscribe to Inside Triathlon, click here.
