** X and X indicate potential race impact > 5 min
| Race Feature | Likely hood | Easy | Moderate | Hard | Detail |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Surf Entry / Exit | Possible | X | Swim in the Noosa Bay. The surf will only be present if an unseasonal easterly or northerly wind appears. | ||
| Navigation Challenging due to swell | Possible | X | Sight at the swell crest. Navigate off other swimmers when breathing to minimise head lift. Sight ~ every 30 strokes. | ||
| Water Temperature extreme | Unlikely | X | Historically 24.5 degrees | ||
| Wetsuit Legal | Unlikely | X | |||
| Bike Hills | Certain | X | Only 1 climb up named Garmin hill which can be challenging to novices. One long decsend which can be frightening to novices due to speed and number of riders. Take Care! | ||
| Bike Cornering | Minimal | X | Some traffic circles, one hairpin at top of course. | ||
| Bike Biddon pick-up in motion | N/A | ||||
| Bike Puncture | Possible | X | |||

The centre of attention is the green area around the Weerwater, the lake in the middle of Almere that once was part of a sea. The run course consists of six laps. Every lap you pass the stadium where a big crowd cheers you on! | ||
