Hobart Triathlon 70.3

Seventy point three miles through Hobart. That's 1.9km in the water, 90km on the bike, and a half-marathon to finish — the world's most popular triathlon distance, in a city that earns the right to host it. The 1.9km swim sends you into cold saltwater at 15°C — bracing — the kind of cold that sharpens focus. It's long enough that a poor start costs real time, short enough that strong swimmers can build a genuine lead. The 90km bike is the centrepiece: rolling with some honest climbs terrain with 423m of climbing that never lets you settle. At 70.3 distance, the bike is where races are won and lost — 90km of rolling road demands constant effort management. A rolling half-marathon through Hobart with 63m of gain. After 90km on the bike, even gentle rises feel significant. Quick cadence on the ups, controlled effort on the downs, and trust the training through the middle kilometres. A half-iron course that doesn't apologise for its difficulty — and neither should you for choosing it.
