Race Intelligence · Tallinn, Estonia
Tallinn can look like an inviting place to go fast: water near the city, open Harju County roads and a run back towards the finish. But you need to know which swim venue you're actually heading to before any careful pacing plan becomes useful.

The course behind your race
The August 2027 weekend is taking shape, and the regional roads offer room to settle on the bike. The half-distance swim is less clear: Stroomi, Harku and Raku all appear in different accounts. Treat this as a useful race-distance plan until the confirmed 70.3 map names the real start.
Tallinn 70.3 swim, Stroomi/Harku/Raku conflict
Whatever venue the 2027 half uses, give the opening 300 metres to your stroke and breathing rather than chasing swimmers around you. Only choose a sighting line once the actual start and buoys are confirmed.
Seed honestly. Settle into rhythm.
Harju County, first half bike stage
Flat countryside roads make it easy to ride harder than planned. Hold your target watts.
Watch the watts, not the speed. Fuel early.
Harju County, bike return pending
Use the return leg to hold effort and finish your nutrition before two coastal run loops.
Stay aero. Finish planned nutrition.
Tallinn half-marathon route, opening stage pending
The earlier coastal run could be exposed to Tallinn Bay wind. If the 2027 run returns here, let the first loop establish the conditions and a pace you can repeat.
Easy first aid station. Check posture.
Tallinn event finish, current map required
Only progress once the first loop has confirmed conditions and held together.
Stay tall. Choose the last move late.
Check the official half-distance start day and swim venue before booking transfers or rehearsing entry. Conflicting plans name Stroomi Beach, Lake Harku and Lake Raku. Get the half-specific bike, run, aid and transition maps instead of borrowing the full-distance course.

Prepare for Tallinn
