Training for the Half Distance Triathlon in Buenos Aires demands a strategic approach that matches the race’s unique swim, bike, and run challenges. This comprehensive 44-week Half Distance Triathlon training plan is expertly designed for athletes aged 60 and over, ensuring you build endurance, strength, and confidence for race day.
The race features a calm, warm-water swim in Lago Regatas (1.9 km, two loops), a fast and flat 90 km bike on Buenos Aires Highway, and a scenic 21.1 km run through Palermo’s rolling streets. This plan perfectly aligns with those demands, helping you master each segment through a progressive, injury-conscious approach.
