Whether you're chasing a personal best or just want to cross that finish line with confidence, this plan gives you the edge—plus personal email coaching support to guide your journey every step of the way.
✅ Why This Plan Works for the Half Distance Triathlon North Carolina:
🏊 Current-Assisted Saltwater Swim Prep
Train with open-water sessions, sighting drills, and tempo swims to simulate the fast-paced channel swim in Wrightsville Beach. You'll feel confident with wetsuit-legal water temperatures and a current on your side.
🚴♂️ Flat & Fast Bike-Specific Training
Our program emphasizes sustained power output with long intervals and steady-state rides, mimicking the rural, flat roads of the 56-mile course—including race-day pacing across the Cape Fear River.
🏃 Run the Riverfront with Confidence
From threshold intervals to negative split long runs, this plan prepares you for the unique energy of the downtown Wilmington loop. Strategic brick workouts simulate the hot corner intensity and historic finish line near the USS North Carolina.
📈 Progressive Weekly Volume
Starts at 8 hours per week and builds gradually to ~12 hours, helping you avoid burnout while enhancing endurance, strength, and recovery.
