Are you ready to conquer the Full Distance Triathlon in The Woodlands, Texas? This is your opportunity to race in the prestigious North American Championship event, featuring a 2.4-mile swim in Lake Woodlands, a 112-mile bike ride, and a 26.2-mile run through a vibrant, spectator-filled course. With challenging conditions including warm temperatures and exposure to sun and wind, success demands precise preparation.
Designed for competitive Master's athletes, this structured plan will guide you from start to finish, building endurance, strength, and speed for the challenges of the swim, bike, and run sections.
