FAQ

This edition
What's the best pacing strategy for this race?

Start conservatively and find your rhythm—it's a long race and you'll regret burning out early. For multi-discipline events, consider your strengths; you can push harder on your strong disciplines. Negative split (second half faster than first) is often a winning strategy.

How do I handle the mental challenge mid-race?

Break the race into smaller segments and focus on executing each well. Have a pre-planned list of things to focus on when motivation dips. Training-induced confidence is your best mental tool; trust your preparation.
