IRONMAN Eagleman
Eagleman has a long-standing reputation, and it is not for the course profile. The 1,900 m swim in the Choptank River is flat and the 90 km bike across Maryland's Eastern Shore is one of the fastest in North American racing. Then you run 21.1 km through the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge, and that is where the race happens.
The refuge is marshland. There is essentially no shade, no elevation to generate a breeze, and mid-June on the Chesapeake brings heat and humidity together. Athletes ride a personal-best bike split, start the run at the pace it seemed to promise, and lose ten or fifteen minutes in the second half.
The river is brackish, shallow, and often warm enough to make the wetsuit decision genuinely marginal, so have a plan for both.
Ride it slightly under what you think you can do. This is the course where that discipline pays most obviously.
