.
🏊♂️ Swim-Ready for Lewisville Lake
The one-loop, 1.2-mile swim in Lewisville Lake is likely wetsuit-legal, with water temps between 58°F and 71°F. This plan includes early-season swim fitness development, plus video-supported technique drills and open-water swim practice to prepare you for the race environment at Little Elm Beach.
✅ Integrated swim sessions with video support
✅ Early aerobic base + sighting and open-water skills
.
🚴♂️ Bike-Strong for Fast Rural Roads
With 56 miles of rural Texas roads and no chip seal in sight, the course is fast and smooth with gentle inclines. Our plan builds cycling efficiency with progressive endurance rides, tempo sessions, and power-based intervals—all Garmin-compatible.
✅ Power & HR-based bike workouts
✅ Gradual load with 3:1 recovery structure
✅ Long rides mimicking race terrain and pacing
.
🏃♂️ Run-Ready for the Nature Trail System
The flat, fast 13.9-mile run over hard-packed crushed gravel calls for a durable engine and strong pacing. With brick workouts, VO₂ max intervals, and trail-relevant sessions built in, you'll be race-day ready for all three loops of the spectator-friendly course.
✅ Targeted brick sessions for smooth transitions
✅ Tempo and threshold running on varied terrain
✅ Strength sessions for joint support and resilience
