Course description
Large, flat PR course on the Gulf of Mexico. Ocean swim (challenging in swell), very fast bike and run.
Coach tip
The Gulf swim can be choppy — stay calm; after that the course is perfect for a personal best.

Estimate, not a guarantee – field strength shifts the real cutoff. The roll-down column is a scenario assuming 8 in 10 athletes accept their slot; IRONMAN publishes no acceptance rates per age group.
