Training Considerations for This Race
Cold Water Acclimation
Water temp ~15°C — practice in cold water. Controlled breathing on entry is critical. Bring a good full-sleeve wetsuit.
Flat = Aero Focus
Flat bike course (150m gain). Train in aero position for sustained periods. Dial in your TT position.
Brick Workouts Essential
Include weekly bike→run sessions. Your legs will feel like concrete off the bike — brick training teaches your body to handle the transition.
