This iconic race features a challenging 1.2-mile swim in the tidal Choptank River, a fast and flat 56-mile bike through scenic country roads and the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge, plus a 13.1-mile run along peaceful riverside streets and the beautiful Algonquin neighborhood. Temperatures often reach 80°F (27°C), so you’ll need smart training to stay strong and steady.
.
That’s where our 36-week beginner training plan comes in — designed to get you race-ready and confident!
.
Why This Training Plan Works for Eagleman Athletes:
.
✅ Build a solid foundation: The first 12 weeks focus on strength, endurance, and swim technique to help you master the Choptank River swim — including managing those tricky tidal currents.
.
✅ Bike with power and control: Our workouts prepare you for the flat but windy 56-mile bike course, teaching you to maintain speed and efficiency on open roads.
.
✅ Run strong to the finish: Train with a smart mix of tempo runs and endurance sessions to handle the out-and-back run course without fatigue.
.
✅ Progressive brick workouts: Combine swim, bike, and run sessions gradually to perfect your race-day transitions and build triathlon-specific stamina.
.
✅ Strength training included: Video-guided* strength exercises improve your form and prevent injury, crucial for maintaining pace in hot, humid conditions.
.
✅ Personalized pacing: Using Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) and heart rate zones, you’ll learn to train smarter, avoid burnout, and peak just in time for race day.
