Official event pageWhat this race demands
TriXilxes demands sustained endurance across a middle-distance triathlon format consisting of a 1.5 km swim, a 60 km non-drafting bike leg, and a 15 km run.
Aero positioning
The 60 km non-drafting bike leg requires sustained aerodynamic efficiency and steady pacing over an extended effort without the benefit of a Peloton.
Run transition
The 15 km run tests neuromuscular durability and pacing control immediately following a demanding swim and non-drafting bike effort.
A carbohydrate intake of 60 to 90 grams per hour is recommended to sustain energy levels across the multi-hour duration of this middle-distance event.
