💪 Strength You Can Feel on Race Day
.
From Day 1, this plan incorporates structured strength training to increase durability and power—critical for Galveston’s flat, fast bike and repetitive run loops. Swim drills enhance efficiency, while progressive V02 intervals, tempo workouts, and race-pace efforts build the speed you’ll need to PR.
.
🌊 Train for the Swim You’ll Face

You’ll train with open water sessions, sighting drills, and interval-based swim sets designed for Offats Bayou’s mild currents and saltwater buoyancy—helping you feel confident and fast from the first stroke to the final climb onto the dock.

The 13.1-mile run is three mentally demanding loops. This plan arms you with brick sessions, race-day simulations, and fatigue-resistant intervals that build stamina and mental grit—giving you the edge when it matters most.
