This 10-week plan is for the triathlete who has completed sprint and Olympic distance races and is looking to step up to the ½ iron distance. The White Lake 1/2 is a great choice for your first 1/2, as it is VERY flat. Before starting this plan you are capable of swimming 3 times per week from 45 to 60 minutes per session, able to cycle comfortably for at least 90 minutes and should have several 60 minute runs under your belt. Up to this point in your schedule you should be completing about 7 to 9 hours of training per week.
