IRONMAN Vitoria-Gasteiz is an full-distance IRONMAN race held in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain. Athletes face a freshwater lake swim, followed by a rolling bike course through varied terrain and a flat and fast run course.
Lake
3.8 km / 2.4 mi
Rolling
180 km / 112 mi
Flat
42.2 km / 26.2 mi
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 for even pacing on flat ground with race-pace tempo runs and practice holding form when fatigued.
For a full IRONMAN, rehearse your nutrition strategy during long training sessions — aim for 60-90g of carbs per hour on the bike.
