The course behind your race
A new full distance, not a longer 70.3.
Knokke-Heist has hosted a half-distance race before. The 2027 race is a full distance, so pace and fuel it as one from the first kilometre.
First half
Cap the opening.
Hold your power ceiling and set your fuelling rhythm.
Cap opening power. Fuel every 20 minutes.
Second half
Ride the wind by effort.
Let speed change with the wind and keep power steady.
Hold effort into the wind. Finish nutrition before T2.
First half
Open patiently.
Run the first half slower than you feel you can.
Walk aid stations if planned. Keep fuelling.
Second half
Bring it to the Zeedijk.
Race only once the last 10 km are in reach and form has held.
Check posture. Choose the last move late.
