The Half Distance Triathlon in Dallas–Little Elm delivers a race-day experience that’s both scenic and fast: a cool lake swim in Lewisville Lake, a smooth, rolling bike ride on pristine rural roads, and a flat, spectator-friendly crushed gravel run. This six-month plan is engineered specifically for Masters triathletes over 40 who want to train with precision and perform with confidence.

✅ Is This Plan Right for You?
Before starting, you should comfortably be able to:

🏊 Swim 1,500 meters without difficulty

🚴 Bike 30 miles at a steady effort

🏃 Run at least 5 miles with ease

If you meet these benchmarks and want to build on your existing base, this plan delivers the smart, structured progression you need to reach your next level.

🏊 Swim Training Built for Lewisville Lake
With water temperatures in March typically ranging from 58°F to 71°F, wetsuit-legal conditions are likely. You’ll train with video-led technique drills and structured endurance sessions that mimic the one-loop swim, building both comfort and confidence in open water.

🚴 Bike Workouts That Match the Terrain
The 56-mile course features flat-to-gently rolling terrain and smooth pavement without chip seal—ideal for speed. This plan includes power-based tempo rides, aerobic endurance sessions, and controlled intervals to help you handle the course with strength and control.

🏃 Run Training That Prepares You for the Trails
The crushed gravel trail system in Little Elm offers a smooth, consistent surface with a three-loop design that encourages rhythm and pacing. You’ll complete progressive long runs, brick workouts, and race-specific interval sessions to prepare your legs for fast, efficient pacing across all three laps.
