Official event pageWhat this race demands
IRONMAN 70.3 Kenting demands sustained multi-sport pacing across a 113.1 km distance comprising a swim, a coastal bike course, and a flat run.
Aerobic endurance
The 113.1 km total distance requires continuous cardiovascular output over several hours, demanding a well-developed aerobic base to manage energy expenditure from the swim through to the run.
Bike-to-run transition
Racing a coastal cycling leg followed immediately by a flat run through tropical landscapes requires the muscular durability to transition from sustained cycling posture to forward running mechanics.
Aim for 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour to sustain energy levels across the multi-hour duration of the race.
