IRONMAN Brazil
The full distance in Santa Catarina is raced in June, which is winter in the southern hemisphere, and that is exactly why it works. While European athletes are dealing with summer heat, Florianópolis gives you a mild day for 3.8 km of ocean swim, 180 km of bike and a 42.2 km run.
The swim is off the beach, so surf and current are part of it rather than an exception, and the water is cool enough to want a wetsuit. The bike rolls through hills inland before the run returns to a flat, fast coastal course.
For northern-hemisphere athletes the awkward part is the calendar rather than the course. A June race in winter conditions means training through your own spring for a race in someone else's off-season, and it means a long flight with a bike into a time zone that will not help you.
The Brazilian crowd support, in return, is among the best anywhere.
