The Full Distance Triathlon Cairns is not for the faint of heart. With a 3.8 km ocean swim off Palm Cove, a 180 km scenic ride along the iconic Captain Cook Highway, and a fast-paced 42.2 km run along Cairns Esplanade, this event demands elite preparation. That’s exactly what this 24-week training plan delivers.
