Sandman Triathlon 2026
A beach triathlon on Anglesey. A sea swim off Newborough with Snowdonia across the strait, coastal roads on the bike, and a run through the forest and dunes.
7 weeks to race day: the sharpening window
A full build no longer fits, but a sharp one does. This close in, the job is specificity and freshness: race-pace touches, open-water or brick rehearsal, and a taper your nervous system actually absorbs. No heroics; arrive fresh.
Building for this one? 70.3 training plan covers the sessions, the weekly shape and how the block is paced. The R.A.C.E. Framework explains why it is built that way.
“A sea swim off a beach with the Snowdonia skyline behind you, in late September. Not a PB race and not trying to be, but one you will talk about.”
