What this race demands

The Triathlon de Lausanne requires sustained pacing across a standard Olympic distance of a 1.5 km swim, 40 km bike ride, and 10 km run on the shores of Lake Geneva.

Multisport transition

The race demands seamless transitions between three distinct disciplines, requiring the athlete to efficiently shift neuromuscular coordination from swimming to cycling and finally running.

Aerobic endurance

Spanning an Olympic distance over multiple hours, the event requires strong aerobic capacity to sustain a high output across the swim, bike, and run legs without fading.

A sustained effort of this duration requires targeted carbohydrate intake of 60 to 90 grams per hour during the cycling and running segments to maintain glycogen stores.
