This 36-week training plan supports your progression from base building to peak performance, tailored for experienced athletes over 40 who are serious about training with purpose.

With a 1.2-mile swim in Lake Coeur d’Alene’s clear, cool waters, a 56-mile bike ride through rolling terrain with over 2600 feet of elevation gain, and a 13.1-mile run on a two-loop, undulating course, this event challenges both aerobic capacity and muscular endurance.
