Where are we racing in 2026? Lets talk course strategy

Hey Stealth athletes,

Most triathletes train for "The Swim." The smart ones train for "The Race."

There is a massive difference between holding a pace in a heated 25m pool and navigating the Atlantic swell in Cascais, the "washing machine" start in Bolton, or a non-wetsuit heatwave in Frankfurt.

I want to make sure everyone in this squad is technically "Race-Proofed."

I’ve been deep-diving into the 2026 course profiles, and I’m putting together a series of Stealth Race Reviews—breaking down the exact technique, sighting strategy, and "drag-reduction" hacks you need for specific courses.

I know most of yours, but you might inspire another founding member of the Stealth Triathlon Squad, or if you're raising money for a great cause with an event, you never know what can happen! You can make friends here too with other members

Which 70.3 or Full Ironman / Open Water Swim Challenge is your "A-Race" this year?

Whether it's an Ironman, Challenge, or a local classic, comment with your Race Name + Date.

What happens next:

I’ll pick the most popular races and drop a 3-Point Technical Checklist

We’ll cover:

The Sighting Trap: How to navigate that specific sun/current.

The Catch Mechanic: Adapting your pull for the [Lake/Sea/River] conditions.

The Secret "Free Speed": Where the drafting and turn-buoy wins are.
