Plan Description

🌊 Swim Ready for La Quinta’s Lake Cahuilla:
Start with a 12-week base phase focused on swim mechanics, breathing efficiency, and endurance—essential for tackling the calm but chilly (57°F / 14°C) open water. Our plan includes video-based drills that improve form and boost your confidence from the sandy beach start.

Ride strong through La Quinta’s smooth terrain and Thermal Raceway with progressive bike workouts, heart rate zone guidance, and endurance-building sessions. You’ll be prepared to stay aero and efficient, conserving energy for the run.
🏃 Run Smart on the Scenic 13.1-Mile Course:
Train for the two-loop flat course around Silver Rock Golf Resort with speed intervals, tempo runs, and strength training that improve stamina and durability. Expect cheers and family support along the way—our plan gets you race-day ready to soak it all in.
