IRONMAN Alghero
Alghero sits on the north-west corner of Sardinia, and its 70.3 uses the coast properly: 1,900 m in the clear water of the Coral Riviera, 90 km out along the cliffs towards Capo Caccia and inland on quiet Sardinian roads, then 21.1 km on the seafront beside the old Catalan town.
The bike is the interesting part. The coastal section near Capo Caccia is genuinely exposed, and the inland roads roll enough that a rider expecting an easy Mediterranean spin will be surprised by the accumulated climbing.
End of May is close to ideal for racing here, warm without the July furnace, and the sea is swimmable rather than cold.
Travel is easier than the map suggests. Alghero has its own airport a few minutes from town, so you can be at transition the same afternoon you land, which is unusual for an island race.
