Performance-Driven Features:
✔️ Swim Mastery: Instructional videos and precision swim drills designed to improve efficiency and confidence in Lake Taupō's calm waters.
✔️ Dynamic Brick Workouts: Build critical bike-to-run strength with back-to-back sessions tailored for multi-lap terrain and transitions.
✔️ Heart Rate & Power-Based Intervals: Dial in your pacing with smart, structured workouts for both bike and run.
