The Outlaw Original features a famously fast and flat course consisting of a 2.4-mile swim in the regatta lake at the National Water Sports Centre, a 112-mile bike ride through the Nottinghamshire countryside, and a marathon run along the River Trent.
What this race demands
Outlaw Original demands complete physiological resilience across a full-distance triathlon covering a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bike leg, and a marathon run.
Aero Endurance
The 112-mile bike leg requires sustained aerobic output and aerodynamic posture over many hours in the Nottinghamshire countryside.
Run Durability
The marathon run along the River Trent demands structural durability and muscular endurance after completing the swim and bike disciplines.
Pacing Discipline
The long duration of a full-distance triathlon necessitates strict energy management from the opening swim to prevent late-race fade on the run.
A consistent intake of 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour is required across the extended duration of the event to maintain glycogen stores.
