Location & getting there
The race is based in Daytona Beach, FL. If you're traveling in, book accommodation early — small towns hosting popular races can fill up on race weekend, and staying close to the venue makes race morning far calmer.
Arrive the day before if you can. Packet pickup, bike check-in and course briefings usually happen on-site, and a relaxed shake-out session beats a frantic morning.

Training tips for this race
- Build the swim first. Most beginners lose the most time — and confidence — in the water. Two to three short technique-focused swims per week for 8–10 weeks will transform your race.
- Practice transitions. A calm T1 and T2 can save you several minutes at sprint distance. Lay out your gear at home and rehearse the sequence twice before race week.
- Brick workouts matter. Even one short bike-to-run session per week teaches your legs what the second transition feels like — start with 30 minutes easy spinning straight into a 10-minute jog.
- Train the first run harder than you think. Duathlons open with a run, so fresh-leg speed matters — include one weekly session with a hard 2–3 km run straight into a strong bike effort.
- Get open-water practice. Pool fitness does not fully transfer: sighting, wetsuit feel, and swimming in a pack are skills. Aim for at least three open-water swims before race day.
