The course at Tallinn

Swim
Lake Raku, fresh water, sandy bed and around 6.4 m average depth.
Bike
Flat, 90 km out to the southern villages, back past the Unibet Arena and out into the countryside again. The official route file is unpublished, so the lap count is unconfirmed.
Run
Two laps, 21.1 km with 87 m of gain, along Tallinn Bay and finishing at the Unibet Arena.

What that changes in your bags

Ten calendar years put race day between roughly 13 and 20 degrees with a median daily gust of 18 km/h. That is the temperature where athletes pack for the swim and forget the bike: cold hands on a flat course cost more than they do on a climb, because nothing warms you up.

Packing list for Tallinn

Sorted by the bag each thing goes in. Bag systems vary by event, so check your athlete guide.

Morning clothes bag

0 of 22 done

White bag. Clothes for the walk to the start, and everything you want the moment you finish. Many races take this bag from you at the swim start and hand it back after the line.

Bike gear bag (T1)

0 of 24 done

Blue bag. Everything between the water and the bike course. At most races the bike is checked in the day before, which splits this bag in three: what goes ON THE BIKE has to be there before the bag is, what you CARRY IN goes with you on the morning because it cannot sit out overnight, and the rest is the bag itself. Each line says which.

Not in a bag

0 of 20 done

Everything that has to leave the house and belongs to no race bag. A bike that arrives is a bike you have to put back together, and nothing in that hour can be bought at eight on a Saturday night.
