Plan Description
🌴 Ready to race the Half Distance Triathlon on Hawaii’s stunning Kohala Coast? Picture this: you start your day with a sunrise swim in Pauoa Bay’s crystal-clear waters, ride through ancient lava fields along the historic northern coast, then finish with a scenic run around the Mauna Lani Golf Course—all in paradise.
🏊♂️🚴♀️🏃♂️ To get you to that magical finish line at Honu Pointe, we’ve created the Beginner’s Six-Month Half Distance Triathlon Plan, designed specifically for first-time triathletes preparing for this incredible course.
Why This Plan Works for the Kohala Coast Course

Master efficient stroke mechanics and open-water skills to tackle the Pacific Ocean with confidence.
✅ Cycling Strength for Island Winds
Train with intervals and aerobic base rides tailored for the rolling hills and coastal gusts of the legendary bike course.
