Course description
Middle distance in the heart of Cologne: a 2.6 km current-assisted Rhine swim, 87.3 km on fully closed roads across the Rhine bridges out to Lake Fühlingen and back, and a 19 km run finishing at the Tanzbrunnen.
Coach tip
The Rhine swim is longer than usual but faster thanks to the current – sight the exit early.
Closed roads tempt you to overbike, stick to your power target.
The riverside run is flat and offers hardly any shade.
