The Half Distance Triathlon Desaru Coast Malaysia is a race that rewards preparation, precision, and power. Designed specifically for Senior Triathletes 60+, this 24-week training plan helps you train smarter, stay stronger, and finish faster in Malaysia’s coastal triathlon paradise.
.
From the warm 1.9km beachfront swim at The Westin Desaru Coast Resort to the undulating 90km two-loop bike course, and the shaded 21.1km run past The Els Club and Ferry Terminal, this course demands endurance, efficiency, and smart pacing—especially in the tropical 28°C (82°F) heat.
