🌊 SWIM PREP: Calm Waters, Confident Starts
The point-to-point, clockwise swim in the protected Plava Laguna cove (64°F / 18°C) is ideal for new triathletes—but only with proper technique and confidence.
✅ Foundational swim phase with guided drills and video instruction
✅ Open-water prep to adapt to sighting, pacing, and wetsuit practice
✅ RPE-based swim sessions to match race effort and condition you for cool water
🚴 BIKE STRONG: Fast Course, Smart Training
The 90km rolling bike course through vineyards and olive groves, including closed highway sections, is built for speed—not suffering.
✅ Gradual build from 7 to 12 hours/week includes structured cycling workouts
✅ Progressive brick sessions prepare your body for smooth bike-to-run transitions
✅ Emphasis on aero-position endurance, cadence control, and long-ride pacing
🏃 RUN READY: Coastal Views, Rolling Terrain
With 2 scenic loops along the Adriatic coast to Poreč city center and Zelena Resort, the rolling run requires stamina and rhythm.
✅ Tempo and negative split workouts help you dial in pace on undulating terrain
✅ Strength + mobility sessions support durable, injury-resistant run form
✅ Weekly long runs scale progressively to race-specific intensity
