This Intermediate 24-Week Training Plan is specifically designed to prepare you for the unique demands of this early-season Texas race—helping you build strength, speed, and endurance for a confident, high-performance race day.
.
🏊♂️ Swim-Ready Confidence
With a one-loop 1.2-mile swim in Lewisville Lake, cold spring water temperatures increase the likelihood of a wetsuit-legal race. Our plan includes open water simulation workouts, drill-focused swim sessions, and technique refinement videos to help you swim strong and stay relaxed—even in cooler conditions.
.
🚴♀️ Ride the Rolling Roads
The 56-mile bike course features gentle inclines, rural two-lane roads, and a smooth, chip-seal-free surface. You’ll be race-ready with:
✅ Power- and heart-rate-based cycling workouts
✅ Progressive long rides simulating sustained efforts
✅ Structured brick sessions to condition your legs for the run
.
🏃♂️ Crush the Fast Trail Run
You’ll take on a 13.9-mile, three-loop course on crushed gravel trails. It’s flat, fast, and spectator-friendly. Our plan helps you thrive on race day with:
✅ Interval and tempo runs to build speed
✅ Trail-specific workouts to adapt to the surface
✅ Endurance-focused long runs for race-day durability
