🏊 Swim: Prairie Creek Reservoir (1.2 miles)
The race begins with a 1.2-mile swim in calm, warm water—ideal for beginners but still demanding efficient technique.

✅ Sessions include V02 max intervals and long ride simulations to prep for sustained output.
✅ RPE and heart rate guidelines ensure smart effort management in training and on race day.

🏃 Run: 13.1 Miles of Rolling Terrain
The run course features rolling hills and average race-day temps near 83°F (28°C), requiring heat adaptation and strength.
✅ Gradual build-up from walk-jogs to sustained aerobic runs.
