San Giovanni beach
Settle without assuming the bay will be calm.
The harbour provides shelter to the bay, but it does not guarantee calm conditions. Settle your breathing while following the official swim markers.
Seed honestly. Settle into rhythm.

Race Alghero on your terms.
San Giovanni beach opens the day, then you ride the roads around Alghero before three run loops return you to the harbour and old town. The coastline makes this race look inviting. Keep some strength to enjoy the final pass through those streets.

Your day in Alghero
What could you race?
I’m Tom, the coach behind Sense Endurance Coaching. Tell me where you are now and I’ll show you what a strong day in Alghero could look like.
The course behind your race
The harbour is worth coming back to with good legs.
The run follows the seafront wall and loops back towards the harbour. The exact bike profile and transitions still need confirmation, so prepare for changing road effort rather than inventing a named climb. Your best pacing choice is the one that leaves you running well at the end.
The opening ride
Ride your plan while the route remains provisional.
Alghero's bike is described as rolling, but the detailed road profile is not yet settled. Keep a sustainable ceiling on unfamiliar rises and choose gearing and handling tactics once the final route is available.
Hold your planned watts. Fuel early.
The closing ride
Leave enough for three coastal laps.
Avoid using the closing ride to chase an average speed. The run repeatedly returns along the coast; arrive with an effort you can turn into running rather than an exhausted bike split.
Stay patient. Finish planned nutrition.
Harbour, old town and coast
Learn the repeated route at a controlled effort.
The route skirts the old town and seafront wall before heading south and turning back. Use the first circuit to identify where wind and turns affect rhythm, then compare effort on the second rather than forcing identical kilometre splits.
Easy first aid station. Check posture.
The third harbour return
Use what remains on the last loop.
On lap three, judge whether you can hold the stronger effort through the southbound section and return. Keep your line through harbour turns and build pace on the open stretches rather than accelerating at every change of direction.
Stay tall. Choose the last move late.
What to check in race week
Look for the final bike and transition instructions before travelling. Check water conditions at San Giovanni, wind on the coast, and the run’s harbour turns and seafront access; confirm where aid will be available.

Prepare for Alghero
Build the legs.
Practise the decisions.
A finish range gives you something to work towards. The preparation is specific to this race: Practise an even ride followed by repeated run laps, while keeping the plan adaptable to the final course. Build confidence starting and finishing a swim from the beach without depending on a promise of calm water.
