2 weeks to race day: check your preparation
A shorter runway cannot replace a full build. If you already have the required training base, course rehearsal, familiar pacing and freshness may be useful. Assess your readiness before committing to this edition.
Building for this one? 70.3 training plan covers the sessions, the weekly shape and how the block is paced. The R.A.C.E. Framework explains why it is built that way.
Build my pacing and preparation plan.
Commit to the date and the work gets a shape: your countdown starts, the emails arrive in step with your build, and the app anchors a recovery-led block so the final week lands exactly on race day.
One confirmation email, then the road begins. Registering for the race itself stays with the organiser.
“The last realistic race of the European season and still warm in November. A good way to cash in a long summer of fitness before the off season.”
The race
The course
Interactive swim route in the Course Lab above ↑ Drawn from the official GPX file, checked against this leg's distance.
Two loops in clear Turkish Riviera water, split by an Australian exit. You run out onto the sand and straight back in, which spikes your heart rate halfway through the swim. Rehearse it, because the second loop is where people panic.
Interactive bike route in the Course Lab above ↑ Drawn from the official GPX file, checked against this leg's distance.
Two laps of a 35km loop plus a short section in and out, all on well maintained multi-lane roads towards the Expo 2016 area. Around 80m of climbing in total, and the only rises are bridges. This is as close to a time trial as the distance gets.
Interactive run route in the Course Lab above ↑ Drawn from the official GPX file, checked against this leg's distance.
Three laps through The Land of Legends, starting into the shopping mall section and following the Venetian Channel past the finish line each lap. Passing the line three times before you are allowed to take it is its own kind of test.
Not yet confirmed for this edition: cut-off times, aid station spacing, water temperature history. We publish these only once they are on the official course page, so check there before you pace off anything here.
