Course description
A half distance on the Atlantic coast west of Lisbon, on the same weekend as the full distance. A swim in Cascais bay, a rolling bike course inland and a rolling run along the promenade.
Coach tip
The Atlantic is rough in October; practise swimming in swell, not just in a lake.
Rolling on both bike and run means no section lets you recover — spread the effort across the whole day.
The full distance runs the same weekend; book accommodation and travel accordingly early.
