The official distance is usually a 4k Swim, 120k Bike and 30k Run, but as you can see from the widely varying finishing times, these distances are often changed (most often the swim is shortened because of cold water temperatures). I have seen conflicting data about this year’s swim – it’s planned to be either 3k or 4k.
