How the day is laid out

The swim is held in a bay. An average of 27 °C is warm. Wetsuit use is commonly restricted above this point, and the swim becomes a question of heat more than of cold.

The bike leg is labelled rolling.

The run is labelled flat.

A rolling bike ahead of a flat run keeps the climbing on the bike and lets the run settle into a rhythm.

Expect air between 25 °C and 31 °C on race day. A spread of 6 degrees across the day matters as much as the peak, because what you wear at the swim exit is rarely what you want at the far end of the bike.
