Plan Description
The Half Distance Triathlon Washington Tri-Cities is a race that rewards preparation, precision, and grit. With a current-assisted 1.2-mile downstream swim in the Columbia River, a rolling 56-mile ride through Washington’s scenic wine country, and a flat, fast 13.1-mile run along the river, it’s the kind of race where your training plan can make or break your performance.
Our 44-Week Intermediate Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan is engineered to prepare you for this exact race experience—from your first base mile to the final stretch along the Columbia.
Why This Plan Works for the Tri-Cities Course:
✅ River-Current Swim Readiness
Begin with structured swim workouts that include open water skills, sighting practice, and drills to maximize downstream efficiency—critical for navigating the Howard Amon to Columbia Point Park swim.
✅ Hills Meet Endurance
With ~1,800 ft of elevation gain on the bike, our progressive ride sessions include tempo work and threshold intervals that mirror the rolling terrain of Eastern Washington. Your legs will be ready for climbs and speed.
✅ Run Strong, Run Smart
The plan’s run volume peaks with confidence-building brick sessions and aerobic progression workouts—ideal for the flat, scenic run course. By race day, you'll run strong with controlled pacing and resilience.
✅ Weekly Focus Blocks
Each training block emphasizes swim-bike-run integration, supported by technique-focused drills, strength training, and recovery strategies. You’ll never guess what’s next—every session builds purposefully toward race day.
✅ Race Simulation and Taper
In the final weeks, you’ll experience full race-day simulations—including fueling strategies and pacing—so you arrive at the Tri-Cities start line fully prepared, physically and mentally.
