Official event pageWhat this race demands
The Barcelona Triathlon demands sustained aerobic capacity and efficient pacing across a middle-distance multisport effort.
Aero position endurance
The fast bike route between Barcelona and Mataró requires maintaining an aerodynamic position for an extended duration.
Multisport pacing
Transitioning from a sea swim to the bike and finishing with a coastal run demands disciplined energy distribution to avoid late fatigue.
A target intake of 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour is recommended to sustain energy levels across the middle-distance duration.
