The 1.9 km swim in Lake Munksjön follows a simple out-and-back layout with average water temperatures around 68°F (20°C), calling for efficient stroke technique and adaptation to cooler water. The 90 km bike course loops through scenic lakeside villages, blending fast flats with challenging climbs that test aerobic endurance and leg strength. The 21.1 km run consists of three laps through Jönköping’s city center and lakeside paths, requiring muscular endurance and strategic pacing to combat fatigue.
