🌊 Swim Confidence at San José Beach

🚴 Conquer the Rolling Costanera Course
With over 3,000 ft of elevation on the 90 km bike leg, this training plan incorporates targeted strength endurance rides, tempo intervals, and race-specific simulations to build the resilience and power you need to tackle those rolling hills—twice. Heart rate and power-based workouts ensure you train precisely for the demands of the scenic Costanera route.
