Before beginning it's essential to establish a strong foundation of base mileage that effortlessly propels you through an Olympic distance triathlon.
🏊♂️ Swim Preparation for Betsie Bay
The calm, protected waters of Betsie Bay provide an ideal setting for a one-loop, 1.2-mile swim. Our plan integrates consistent open-water simulation workouts and structured intervals, helping you build confidence and control in variable conditions. With water temps averaging 65°F (18°C), you’ll be race-day ready to glide efficiently from start to finish.
🚴♂️ Bike the Iconic M-22 with Strength and Strategy
The scenic 56-mile bike course mixes rolling hills and flat terrain along Michigan’s famed M-22. Our plan includes progressive endurance rides, intervals, and power-focused workouts that mirror this exact terrain—equipping you to maintain a steady cadence while conquering climbs and capitalizing on flats.
🏃♂️ Run Strong Around Betsie Bay
With two out-and-back loops on paved paths through Frankfort and Elberta, the 13.1-mile run is largely flat—perfect for maintaining pace if you’re well-trained. Our running workouts include tempo efforts, negative split runs, and brick sessions to sharpen your endurance and ensure a confident finish.
