The Middle Distance Triathlon in Vieux Boucau, France offers a spectacular yet fast course — a smooth, 1.9 km point-to-point swim in a sheltered saltwater lake, a flat and rapid 90 km ride through pine forests and charming Landes villages, and a four-lap 21 km run around the marine lake with roaring crowd support. This training plan is built to help you thrive on race day, taking full advantage of the course’s speed potential while preparing you for every physical and mental challenge.
