Plan Description

Conquer the Full Distance Triathlon Cairns with Confidence

Ready to take on the breathtaking Full Distance Triathlon Cairns in Australia? With its tropical waters, iconic Captain Cook Highway bike course, and vibrant Cairns Esplanade run, this race demands a smart, focused training approach. That’s where the Competitive Masters 40+ Six-Month Full Distance Triathlon Training Plan comes in—built specifically for experienced triathletes like you who want to compete strong and finish proud.

🌊 Swim Strong at Palm Cove
Start with a two-lap swim in the crystal-clear waters off Williams Esplanade, where smoother, shore-hugging conditions and a self-seeded rolling start give you the edge. This plan prepares you for the 3.8 km distance with structured open-water sessions, stroke efficiency drills, and pacing strategies tailored for 23°C (73°F) water.

🚴‍♂️ Crush the Bike Through Tropical Paradise
The scenic 180 km course up to Port Douglas and back—twice—is demanding. You’ll train with power-based intervals and long endurance rides that mimic the elevation and rhythm of the Captain Cook Highway, Rex Lookout, and Spring Creek Road. Expect increased power and better bike-handling through targeted brick workouts.

🏃 Run with Purpose Along the Cairns Esplanade
This 42.2 km, 4-lap run is flat but fast, with enthusiastic crowds and aid every 2 km. You'll build mental toughness, pacing control, and long-run stamina to thrive in 26°C (79°F) conditions—even in the final miles.

✅ Key Plan Features
✔️ Heart Rate & Power-Based Workouts — Tailored for optimal endurance and peak effort.
✔️ Garmin-Synced Training — Workouts auto-load to your device.
✔️ 3:1 Build/Recovery Cycle — Prevents burnout and ensures steady gains.
✔️ Video Swim & Strength Sessions — Detailed guidance for efficient technique and power.
✔️ Progressive Structure — Builds from 8 to 16 hours per week to match Full Distance demands.

This isn’t just another plan—it’s your roadmap to performing at your absolute best on race day. Designed with the master athlete in mind, it targets your strengths, improves your resilience, and ensures you’re race-ready for every stage of the Full Distance Triathlon Cairns.

It’s your time. Commit to your best season yet—start your training today! 🏁
