Your runway

41 weeks to race day: base season

Plenty of runway. This far out, the win is a boring, consistent base rhythm: aerobic volume, strength, technique. The structured 12-week block starts later; what you do now decides how high it can climb.

The race

Outlaw events are famous for feeling like they are run by athletes for athletes. The half at Holme Pierrepont is the classic first 70.3: the swim is one straight line down a rowing lake, the bike is flat and quiet, and the run is pancake-flat laps where your pacing either holds or it doesn't. Nowhere to hide, nothing to fear.
