IRONMAN Nice
The Nice half runs on the same date as the full-distance race in the city, so the first thing to confirm is which of the two your entry covers. They share a swim venue and a finish line and almost nothing else.
The half is 1,900 m in the Mediterranean, 90 km from the sea into the hills behind the city, and a 21.1 km run on the Promenade des Anglais. The bike is the point: 90 km with real climbing in it, which puts this well outside the flat European halves people use for personal bests.
Ride it as a hilly course and the flat run will be there. Ride it as a fast course and it will not.
September on the Côte d'Azur is still warm, the sea is at its most comfortable of the year, and the promenade run is completely exposed to afternoon sun.
