IRONMAN Aix-en-Provence
The 1,900 m swim here is in Lac des Peyrolles, fresh water outside the city, and the 90 km bike climbs out of the lake basin into the Provençal hills before the 21.1 km run comes back into the centre of Aix.
Two things shape the day. The bike is not flat, whatever the route summary says: it mixes genuinely fast valley sections with climbs that arrive in the second half, and pacing the flat parts too hard is the standard error. And the run is a lapped city course, which means shade in the narrow streets, heat radiating off stone, and passing the finish area more than once before you can use it.
Late May in Provence can be hot, and the mistral can turn an exposed ride into a grind in either direction.
The lake will be markedly colder than the air. Do not judge your wetsuit decision from the car park.
