The Half Distance Triathlon Mossel Bay South Africa demands strength, endurance, and smart pacing—especially for senior athletes aged 60 and over. This 24-week training plan is designed specifically for you, addressing the unique challenges of aging while preparing you to conquer the 1.9 km sea swim, the hilly 90 km bike, and the undulating 21.1 km run.
🏊♂️ The swim starts at historic Santos Beach, with chilly 19.1˚C ocean water and a rolling start. Our plan builds swim endurance and technique gradually, so you stay confident and efficient in open water.
🚴♂️ The bike course features 1,020 meters of climbing over 90 km. You’ll gain the climbing strength and power needed through targeted hill workouts and strength training that protect joints and muscles from injury.
🏃♂️ The run is three laps along scenic coastal paths with rolling terrain. Our plan develops steady aerobic endurance and pacing strategies to help you finish strong without burnout.
