Step onto the start line at Mar Bella Beach with confidence. This 44-week Middle Distance Triathlon training plan is purpose-built to prepare you for Barcelona’s flat, fast, and scenic course—so you can race strong from the first stroke to the final stride.
🏊 Swim 1.9 km – The calm Mediterranean waters and potential non-wetsuit conditions demand efficiency and confidence. Our swim sessions emphasize technique, open-water skills, and pacing control, ensuring you’re ready for a smooth, powerful one-lap swim start.
