- Where is the race held exactly?
- The race typically takes place in the Chorrillos district, specifically around the Agua Dulce beach area, which offers a protected bay for swimming and flat coastal roads for cycling.
- Is the water suit-legal?
- In August (late winter in Peru), water temperatures in the Pacific are around 15-17°C. Wetsuits are almost always required for junior athletes to ensure safety and warmth.
- How do I get from the airport to Miraflores/Chorrillos?
- Use 'Airport Express Lima' or official taxi apps like Uber or Cabify. Avoid 'street' taxis for safety. The journey takes 45-90 minutes depending on Lima's notorious traffic.
- Where can I build my bike?
- Most athletes build bikes at their hotels. Specialized and local shops like Bike Spirit offer mechanical services if you need professional assembly or tools.
- What is the bike course like?
- The course is usually a multi-lap format on the 'Costa Verde' highway. It is mostly flat but can be windy due to the proximity to the ocean.
- Are the roads closed for training?
- No, the Costa Verde highway is very busy. For pre-race rides, it is best to use the dedicated bike paths in Miraflores or join a local club for a guided ride early in the morning.
- When is packet pickup?
- Packet pickup usually occurs 1-2 days before the event at the race hotel or the venue at Agua Dulce. Ensure you have your athlete ID and triathlon license.
