How the day is laid out
The swim is held in the sea. An average of 22 °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.
The overall cut-off for this race is 8 h 30.
Expect air between 18 °C and 26 °C on race day. A spread of 8 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.
