How the day is laid out

The swim is held in a harbour. An average of 21 °C is close to the threshold where wetsuit rules start to tighten. Plan for both answers and check the call on race morning.

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 18 °C and 22 °C on race day. A spread of 4 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.
