Why This Plan Works for Taupō’s Demands

🌊 Swim Strong in Lake Taupō
Prepare for the 3.8km open-water swim with 166 sessions that improve technique, pacing, and deep-water starts. The plan builds confidence for navigating the cool 19°C water and the clockwise shoreline course.

🚴 Bike Power for Rolling Terrain
Tackle Taupō’s 180km ride over rural roads and long flats with 152 bike sessions (185+ hours). Train specifically for key sections like Broadlands and Vaile Roads to develop rhythm, strength, and stamina over two laps.

🏃 Run Smart Along the Lakefront
Master the 42.2km run through town and along Rainbow Bay with 122 structured sessions. Brick workouts improve your bike-to-run transitions, while pacing drills ensure you stay strong through all four laps.
