Course + conditions (what should change in training)
- Surface: Mixed.
- Course difficulty: flat.
- Climate context: Avg highs ~ 32°C, lows ~ 25°C • Avg monthly precip ~ 245 mm • Avg wet days ~ 30 days.
Course pacing signals (what to rehearse)
- Mixed surface: practice transitions (grip, cadence, downhills) so race day feels familiar.
- Flat profile: practice restraint early; avoid surges and “free speed” that spikes effort.
- Crowds/wind rule: treat headwinds and congestion as “hills” and stay effort-controlled.
Climate-specific adaptations (gear + fueling)
- Warm/hot: start 1–3% slower, prioritize fluids + sodium, and practice cooling strategies.
- Rain/wet roads: prioritize anti-chafe, socks, and traction; avoid brand-new shoes.
- Fueling rule: practice carbs early and on schedule; do not “wait until you feel it.”
