Port Macquarie’s Half Distance Triathlon is more than a race—it's a celebration of endurance, spirit, and stunning coastal scenery. From the peaceful swim in Hastings River to the demanding hills of Ocean Drive and the vibrant energy of the Town Green finish, every section of the course demands focus, resilience, and strategic training. That’s where your journey begins—with the 44-Week Intermediate Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan.

Why This Plan Works for Port Macquarie
🏊‍♂️ Swim Prepared for Hastings River: The plan incorporates structured open water swim sessions and technique-focused drills to prepare you for the 1.9km swim start and finish at Westport Park. Build confidence in your sighting, pacing, and endurance for a fast, efficient swim leg.

🚴‍♀️ Tackle Ocean Drive’s Climbs with Power: With specific hill intervals and power-based cycling sessions, you'll gain the leg strength and stamina to conquer the two climbs up Matthew Flinders Drive. By race day, those rolling hills won’t intimidate—they’ll energize you.

🏃‍♂️ Run Strong to the Finish at Town Green: Brick workouts and tempo run sessions simulate race conditions, helping you transition off the bike with energy. You'll be ready for the two-lap run that winds through Town Beach, the breakwall, and Settlement Point Road—so you can finish with purpose and pride.
