Plan Description
Whether you’re chasing a breakthrough personal best or aiming to crush your second finish, this plan equips you with the strength, speed, and strategy to own every mile—from the crisp, controlled swim in Tempe Town Lake to the lightning-fast flats of Rio Salado Parkway. Get ready to race smarter, push harder, and finish stronger than ever before.
Why This Plan Prepares You for Arizona:
🏊♂️ Swim-Ready from Day One
The single-loop 2.4-mile swim in Tempe Town Lake features calm, controlled water. Our structured swim workouts include open-water skill development and pacing strategies, ensuring you're efficient and confident—even in cooler 61°F conditions.
🚴 Bike-Specific Power & Endurance
Arizona’s 112-mile bike course is a fast, three-loop ride with a gradual climb on the Beeline Highway. We prepare you with progressive long rides, sustained power intervals, and heart-rate and power-based sessions to conquer the 1,400 ft elevation gain while staying aero and strong through all three laps.
🏃 PR-Ready Run Conditioning
The 26.2-mile run is flat, scenic, and ideal for personal bests. Our plan integrates threshold workouts, brick runs, and terrain-specific pacing to help you stay light on your feet through Papago Park and across spectator-lined paths.
