Plan Description
Are you ready to conquer the Half Distance Triathlon Gulf Coast in Panama City Beach, Florida? This breathtaking race features a 1.2-mile swim in the clear, challenging waters of the Gulf of Mexico, a fast and scenic 56-mile bike through intercoastal waterways and Pine Log State Forest, and a flat, three-lap 13.1-mile run along the stunning emerald coast. To race at your best, you need a training plan designed specifically for this unique course.
