Racing a continental championship on the other side of the world multiplies the unknowns: a sea that can rise within hours, a coastal wind that turns the bike leg into a balancing act, and a body straight out of the European winter suddenly pushed to maximum effort.
To approach this faraway trip with a clear head, rely on our long distance triathlon insurance, which also follows you through the winter build and your test races.
In Port Elizabeth, on the shores of Nelson Mandela Bay, the IRONMAN African Championship opens the season of big goals: a swim in an often lively Indian Ocean, a wind-swept coastal bike course and a popular seafront marathon, with the continental title on the line.
