IRONMAN Omaha
This is an inaugural 70.3, and that changes how you should prepare for it. There are no course reports from previous years, no split data to pace against, and no accumulated knowledge about which aid station runs short or where the road surface deteriorates. You are gathering that information rather than using it.
What the record does say is flat and rolling Nebraska terrain, warm conditions in early June, and the standard 1,900 m swim, 90 km bike and 21.1 km run.
The upside of a first edition is real. Fields are usually smaller, the roads are less contested, and travel to Omaha costs a fraction of what a European or island race does, with the airport a few minutes from downtown.
The downside is that everything is a first attempt, including the organisation. Build in more margin than usual on race morning and read the athlete guide twice rather than assuming it matches other races.
