Official event pageWhat this race demands
Pilman demands sustained endurance across three disciplines over a middle-distance triathlon format featuring 1100 meters of elevation gain.
Aero endurance
The 113-kilometer total distance requires sustained aerobic output and efficient pacing throughout the swim, bike, and run segments.
Climbing strength
The hilly cycling course combined with 1100 meters of total elevation gain demands strong climbing legs and sustained power on ascents.
Terrain adaptability
Transitioning from a reservoir swim to a hilly bike course and finally a forest run requires muscular versatility and resilience.
Given the middle-distance duration exceeding three hours, athletes should target an intake of 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour.
