Plan Description

This isn't just any race—it's the North American Championship, featuring a 2.4-mile point-to-point swim in Lake Woodlands, a 112-mile wind-swept ride on the Hardy Toll Road, and a 26.2-mile run lined with cheering fans and Texas heat. To perform your best, you need more than grit—you need a proven training strategy designed for this specific course.
