This six-month training plan is expertly designed to prepare you for the iconic St. Kilda Beach swim, Beach Road bike, and the scenic waterfront run that define one of Australia’s premier triathlon events. Before beginning be sure to have a solid base of training to finish an Olympic distance triathlon.
🌊 Swim-Ready Preparation:
From your first stroke at St. Kilda Beach to your final turn back toward Catani Gardens, you’ll be race-ready for open water conditions. This plan incorporates open water swim simulation sets, pacing strategies, and endurance swims specifically tailored for the 1.9km Half Distance Triathlon swim leg.
