Next Saturday, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful 70.3 will take place in Alcudia (Mallorca). Some quick tips:
A fast swim in the protected waters of the bay a fairly long T1 and then the bike ride begins, a really “cyclist” route that becomes the strategic leg for a good final performance. The advice is to try to be regular on the long climb that begins around the 20th km, without ever going out of threshold even if you still have a lot of energy, at the top of this climb you have to start pushing seriously until the finish line on a route that can also be fast if you keep up the pace in a Rolling first part, don’t relax on the descent and then push regularly in the second flat part of the race. The bike leg will be strategic on the final result. The run is flat and fast but, pay attention to hydration even if high temperatures are not expected, but they are still warm especially for those coming from Northern Europe where so far spring has not been seen much.
