What this race demands
This 136 km road race around Thousand Island Lake demands sustained aerobic endurance and pacing discipline over a substantial distance.
Aerobic endurance
Covering 136 km requires a high baseline of cardiovascular fitness to maintain forward motion for several hours in the saddle.
Pacing discipline
The long-distance format necessitates measured energy expenditure early in the event to prevent late-race fatigue over the full 136 km distance.
Athletes should target 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour to sustain output across the expected multi-hour duration of a 136 km event.
