What this race demands

IRONMAN 70.3 Dali demands sustained multi-sport endurance across a middle-distance course featuring a lake swim and flat cycling and running routes. Athletes must manage pacing and nutrition carefully over approximately four to eight hours of continuous racing.

Middle-Distance Endurance

The 113-kilometer total distance requires precise aerobic pacing across swim, bike, and run legs without depleting energy stores too early.

Aerobic Efficiency

The flat lakeside bike and run profile allows athletes to maintain a steady, uninterrupted cadence and high power or running output for extended durations.

Open-Water Proficiency

The pristine swim in Erhai Lake requires strong sighting, drafting skills, and comfort in open water at the start of the race.

A carbohydrate intake of 60 to 90 grams per hour is required to sustain energy levels across the middle-distance duration.
