How the day is laid out
The swim is held in the ocean. An average of 26 °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 hilly and runs over 2 loops.
The run is labelled hilly.
A hilly bike followed by a hilly run is the hardest combination on the calendar. The bike leg costs more than its distance suggests, and the run asks for what is left afterwards.
Expect air between 21 °C and 32 °C on race day. A spread of 11 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.
