How the day is laid out

The swim is held in a lake, from a rolling start. An average of 19 °C sits in the range where a wetsuit is both allowed and worth wearing for nearly everyone.

The bike leg is labelled rolling.

The run is labelled flat, over 2 laps.

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 9 °C and 13 °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.
