Plan Description
When racing the stunning and challenging Half Distance Triathlon in Mossel Bay you need a training plan built specifically to meet the demands of this unique course. From the cool sea swim and hilly bike leg to the scenic, undulating run—this six-month Half Distance Triathlon training plan prepares you mentally and physically to perform at your best.
🌊 Why This Plan Works for Mossel Bay
✔️ Swim-Specific Conditioning: Starting on Santos Beach and finishing at De Bakke Beach, the 1.9km sea swim calls for open-water confidence. The plan includes frequent open-water simulation sets, rolling start practice, and race-day wetsuit prep—ensuring you're calm and ready, even in cooler 19°C (66°F) waters.
✔️ Hill-Ready Cycling Power: With over 1,020m (3,346 ft) of elevation gain, the 90km bike course is no casual ride. We’ve built in climbing drills, sustained tempo intervals, and specific long-ride sessions that mirror the demands of the out-and-back loop to Uitkyk.
✔️ Resilience for the Scenic 3-Lap Run: Navigating the harbor, old town, and Point walkway means undulating terrain and mental focus over 21.1km. You’ll be prepared with progressive brick workouts, race-pace intervals, and aid station simulations—three per lap—to manage effort and stay fueled.
💡 What You’ll Get:
✔️ Structured 6-Month Plan: Starts with 8 hours per week, building to 12, prioritizing endurance, efficiency, and recovery
✔️ Performance Boosting Intervals: VO2 max sets, tempo bricks, threshold swims, and long runs for peak race-day form
✔️ Race-Specific Pacing: Learn to manage surges and recover—perfect for Mossel Bay’s demanding terrain
✔️ Olympic Base Required: Begin with a solid foundation and elevate from there
✔️ Includes Email Coach Support: Personalized guidance, feedback, and accountability tailored to your journey
🎯 This is more than a plan—it’s your roadmap to mastering the Half Distance Triathlon in Mossel Bay.
Your race deserves more than guesswork. Train with confidence, tackle every climb, and finish strong along the breathtaking bay.
👉 Start your transformation today—with expert support guiding you every step of the way.
