IRONMAN Da Nang
Da Nang is a flat 70.3 where the heat, not the terrain, decides your day. The 1,900 m swim is in the sea off the city beaches, the 90 km bike runs along the coast road, and the 21.1 km run is as flat as the bike.
Early May in central Vietnam is the hot season. Humidity sits high overnight, so there is no cool start to bank time in, and the sun is up long before the run begins. Athletes who pace this course off a European flat-course power number tend to be walking by the second half of the run.
Ride it conservatively. The temptation on a course with no hills is to hold a big number for 90 km, and the run is where you find out that was a mistake.
Travel is easier than most Asian races: the international airport is a short drive from the beachfront, and the whole race sits inside one city.
