Plan Description
Build Strength. Embrace Speed. Conquer Oceanside.
Racing the Half Distance Oceanside Triathlon requires more than just endurance — it demands intelligent, race-specific preparation that mirrors the course’s unique terrain and conditions. That’s why our 6-Month Intermediate Training Plan is purpose-built to help you perform at your best on this spectacular course.
🌊 Swim Strong in Oceanside Harbor
With an average water temperature of 61°F (16°C), the 1.2-mile swim in the sheltered harbor demands acclimation, efficient technique, and cold-water confidence. Our training plan integrates consistent open-water simulation, sighting drills, and stroke refinement, ensuring you arrive race-ready for the calm yet brisk harbor waters.
🚴♂️ Tackle the Scenic Camp Pendleton Ride
The 56.2-mile bike leg through Camp Pendleton is both scenic and deceptively challenging. Expect strategic intervals, long aerobic rides, and hill simulations that mirror the base’s subtle elevation shifts. Strength endurance is the focus here — training your legs to stay powerful from start to T2.
🏃♀️ Dominate the Pier-to-Strand Run
The two-loop, 13.1-mile run course offers a fast profile with rolling segments. We prepare you for this with progressive tempo runs, elevation-specific intervals, and course-specific brick workouts to replicate the transitions and terrain you’ll face — especially the shifting elevation near the Oceanside Pier.
🔥 What to Expect from the Plan
Starts at 8 hours/week, building gradually to 12 hours
Emphasizes foundational endurance + tempo sessions
Integrates VO2 max intervals, anaerobic threshold work, and long bricks
Prioritizes recovery and technique across all three disciplines
💥 Whether you're chasing a personal best or aiming to complete your first 70.3 with confidence, this plan is your blueprint for success. It's not just about crossing the finish line — it's about owning the course and celebrating every stride, stroke, and spin.
