Plan Description
The Half Distance Triathlon Ohio offers a distinctive and scenic course ideal for beginners ready to take on a new challenge. Athletes begin with a 1.2-mile swim featuring a rolling start from the Kelleys Island Ferry into Sandusky Bay (avg. water temp: 78°F), finishing at the Paper District Marina. The 56-mile bike segment is a fast, flat, single-loop course through Erie and Sandusky Counties with just 790 feet of elevation—perfect for controlled pacing and smooth cadence. The 13.1-mile run consists of two flat loops through downtown Sandusky (avg. air temp: 88°F), offering great spectator support and minimal elevation.
To prepare for the demands of this event, our Beginner’s Six-Month Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan is built to guide you through every phase of training—safely and effectively.
✅ Built for Beginners: Designed for athletes with a 4–6 week aerobic base, this structured plan gradually builds volume and intensity with purpose.
✅ Strategic Progression: Training introduces VO2 intervals and anaerobic threshold work, essential for adapting to heat and maintaining steady output on the flat bike and run courses.
✅ Full-Body Focus: Emphasis on strength training and swim technique ensures muscular balance, improved efficiency, and reduced injury risk.
✅ Tailored Workouts: Structured sessions based on Rate of Perceived Effort (RPE) and heart rate keep you within the right training zones—vital for race-day success in warmer temperatures.
✅ Open-Water Readiness: Specific swim sets and drills help you prepare mentally and physically for the ferry start and sighting in open water.
✅ Coach Support Included: Need help along the way? Personalized support is available via email to answer your questions and help you stay on track.
This plan is more than just a schedule—it's your pathway to confidence, capability, and a strong finish at the Half Distance Triathlon Ohio.
Take the next step. Start your Half Distance Triathlon journey today—with support every stroke, pedal, and stride of the way.
