Focus on drafting and pack swimming in open water, since lake starts tend to be calm but crowded.
Practice power management on rolling courses — surge over short rises, then recover on the descents without losing momentum.
Train on gently rolling courses and practice running by effort rather than pace — ease up on the ups, recover on the downs.
Test your fueling strategy during long brick sessions to find the right mix of calories and hydration for 70.3 miles.
