Essential tips for conquering Tritour Tossa de Mar 2026
To make your race experience as successful as possible, keep these practical tips in mind:

- Train in open water: The swim start at Platja Gran usually enjoys calm sea conditions, but it’s important to get used to swimming in the Mediterranean and practise your sighting using the walls of the Vila Vella as a landmark.
- Organise your equipment carefully: Prepare your transition areas the day before. Make sure everything is ready and checked, including tyre pressure, your nutrition on the bike frame and a clearly visible race number.
