Whether you're new to triathlon or returning after time away, this plan aligns with the specific demands of Boise’s scenic and challenging 70.3-mile course.
🏊 Swim – 1.2 Miles in Lucky Peak Reservoir
With water temperatures averaging 72°F (22°C), the wetsuit-legal swim at Lucky Peak Reservoir is calm yet requires sustained aerobic effort. The plan includes progressive swim drills and technique sessions that build endurance and efficiency—crucial for navigating the open water confidently.
🚴 Bike – 56 Miles through Rural Boise
The bike course descends from Lucky Peak into rolling terrain, blending fast flats with long stretches of open country road. To prepare, your training includes structured long rides and power-based intervals that mirror this profile, improving stamina and control for elevation changes.
🏃 Run – 13.1 Miles along the Boise River Greenbelt
The flat, shaded two-loop course is warm but manageable, averaging 81°F (27°C) during race season. The plan incorporates heat acclimation strategies, race-pace simulations, and brick workouts to build mental resilience and physical readiness for this final leg.
