Video-based swim drills improve technique and prepare you for the sea swim starting at Santos Beach, adapting to rolling starts and 19.1˚C water temperatures.

Three laps of an undulating 21.1km run along the bay call for pacing and endurance. Brick workouts and threshold runs simulate race conditions to build stamina and race efficiency.
