For those of you who, like me, did not know this, there are two types of races:
International Distance: 1.5K ocean swim, a 40K out-and-back bike course, and a 10K out-and-back run course.
Classic Distance: 1/2 mile ocean swim, a 19 mile bike course, and a 4 mile out-and-back run course
Live and learn, thanks for clarifying Lars! If there is an expert it's certainly you!
