How the day is laid out

The swim is held in the sea. An average of 20 °C sits in the range where a wetsuit is both allowed and worth wearing for nearly everyone.

The bike leg is labelled hilly.

The run is labelled rolling.

A hilly bike ahead of a rolling run puts the day's decision early: what you spend on the climbs is what the run will not have.

Expect air between 12 °C and 23 °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.
