Racing the Half Distance Triathlon in Valdivia, Chile means navigating a fast yet demanding course—from the chilly Calle-Calle River swim to the flat-but-punchy bike through the lush countryside, and a scenic, bridge-crossing run into the heart of Valdivia. This 44-week triathlon training plan is tailored to help Masters athletes (40+) arrive confident, fit, and race-ready.

✅ Cold-Water Swim Confidence
Train with structured swim sets and video-supported technique drills to master your form and pacing. Early base phases include cold-water swim prep, ideal for Valdivia’s 14°C river.
