THE WORLDS MOST CHALLENGING TRIATHLON EVENTS

DIE ANSPRUCHSVOLLSTEN TRIATHLON-EVENTS DER WELT

Wie könnte man besser davon träumen, den Neoprenanzug anzuziehen und ins Wasser zu gehen, als durch das Lesen unserer beliebtesten und härtesten Events?

Wenn Sie zum ersten Mal in die Welt des Triathlons einsteigen, ist es normal, mit den kürzeren Sprintdistanzen als den olympischen Distanzen zu beginnen. Sie können dann zu halben IRONMAN-Distanzen übergehen und danach – wenn Sie sich wirklich für den Sport begeistern – zur vollen IRONMAN-Distanz, die in Bezug auf die Rennlänge den Höhepunkt darstellt.

Das ist die allgemeine Regel der Weiterentwicklung, der die meisten Triathleten folgen, wenn sie dem Sport ein paar Jahre treu bleiben. Mit zunehmendem Alter können erfahrene Triathleten feststellen, dass sie fast auf kürzere Distanzen zurückfallen. In der Welt des Triathlons wird die Rückkehr zu den Sprintdistanzen für Anfänger als eine Art letzter Vorhang für ihre Triathlon-Bemühungen und -Karrieren angesehen.

Was also meinen wir, wenn wir von den „anspruchsvollsten“ Triathlon-Veranstaltungen sprechen?

  1. Normalerweise wäre das ein Triathlon, der weit über Ihre derzeitige Komfortzone hinausgeht. Einige der weniger anspruchsvollen Wettkämpfe können Sie im Handumdrehen bewältigen. Schon nach ein paar Wochen Training können Sie die Ziellinie problemlos überqueren. Bei Ihrem ersten Triathlon müssen Sie nicht schnell sein, Sie müssen ihn nur beenden. Ein „anspruchsvoller“ Triathlon? Nicht unbedingt. Diese Rennen liegen weit außerhalb Ihrer derzeitigen Komfortzone.
  2. Sie müssen bereits viel Abnutzung erlebt haben, bevor Sie sich einer dieser Herausforderungen stellen. Wenn ein Rennveranstalter Sie warnt, dass Sie während des Rennens krank werden, sich verletzen oder in Gefahr geraten könnten, müssen Sie wissen, dass Sie darauf vorbereitet sind. Sie sind nur dann wirklich bereit dafür, wenn Sie dies zuvor im Training und bei anderen Rennen erlebt haben. Sie müssen jahrelange Erfahrung unter verschiedenen Bedingungen und in verschiedenen Situationen haben, bevor Sie bereit sind, sich einer dieser Herausforderungen zu stellen.
  3. Sie müssen willensstark sein. Und mit willensstark meinen wir im Triathlon normalerweise ein bisschen verrückt. Sie müssen sich so auf Ihre eigenen Fähigkeiten konzentrieren, dass Sie bereit sind, eine Herausforderung anzunehmen, zu der nicht viele Menschen bereit sind. Sie müssen das größte Vertrauen in sich selbst haben.
  4. Sie benötigen viel Freizeit und einen guten Vorbereitungsplan. Je nach Ihrem aktuellen Leistungsniveau kann es Jahre dauern, bis Sie für einige dieser Herausforderungen bereit sind. Bevor Sie überhaupt daran denken, an die Startlinie zu gehen, müssen Sie vollständig vorbereitet sein.
  5. Sie müssen Geld zur Verfügung haben. Diese Veranstaltungen sind leider nicht billig und können oft zusätzliche Kosten verursachen, die bei einem normalen Wochenendrennen nicht anfallen würden. Denken Sie an Startgebühren, Flüge und Ausrüstung.

Nachdem Sie nun wissen, was diese Herausforderungen erfordern, finden Sie hier einige Beispiele für die anspruchsvollsten Ereignisse.

1.Das Schweizer ULTRA DECA Continuous

Mit 38 km (23,6 Meilen) Schwimmen, 1.800 km (1.118 Meilen) Radfahren und 422 km (262 Meilen) Laufen – alles innerhalb von 14 Tagen – ist dies unserer Meinung nach das anspruchsvollste Triathlon-Event aller Zeiten.

Nur die engagiertesten und abgehärtetsten Athleten nehmen diese Herausforderung an und das auch nur, wenn sie nicht nur die Zeit haben, die nötig ist, um zwei Wochen lang an Wettkämpfen teilzunehmen, sondern auch die Einstellung dazu. Diese Wettkämpfer sind geistig und körperlich auf einem ganz anderen Niveau. Sie sind die Definition von engagiert.

Wir glauben nicht, dass es eine größere oder härtere Herausforderung als diese gibt, wenn man im August teilnimmt. Für die Schwimm-, Rad- und Laufabschnitte gibt es Zeitlimits und man muss eine Menge Rennerfahrung haben, bevor man überhaupt daran denken kann, teilzunehmen. Allein der Gedanke an 38 km Schwimmen schreckt jeden bei klarem Verstand ab, ganz zu schweigen von der Rad- und Laufdisziplin. Wir glauben, dass diese Herausforderung wirklich nur für die verrücktesten, mutigsten und weitgereisten Triathleten ist. Aber wir glauben, dass das Recht, danach damit anzugeben, es vielleicht wert ist.

2. Der australische ULTRAMAN 

Man kann sich das als einen Baby-Triathlon im Vergleich zum Swiss Ultra DECA Tri vorstellen. Diese Veranstaltung ist immer noch atemberaubend, aber etwas sanfter, mit 10 km Schwimmen, 421,1 km Radfahren und 84,3 km (52,38 Meilen) laufen. Obwohl es viel kürzer ist als das DECA-Event, wird dieses Event selbst für die härtesten Triathleten eine enorme Herausforderung sein. Obwohl es machbar ist, ist es immer noch lang.

Diese Veranstaltung ist anspruchsvoll, da an Tag 1 10 km Schwimmen und 140 km Radfahren anstehen. An Tag 2 folgen dann 281,1 km Radfahren und an Tag 3 die gesamten 84,3 km Laufen.

Allein das Durchlesen der Richtlinien reicht aus, um ein wenig Angst zu bekommen. Eine Renndistanz von über 500 km würde sicherlich als „äußerst anspruchsvoll“ eingestuft werden. Dies ist definitiv ein Auftakt für die DECA.

3. Der Patagonman

Der Patagonman findet im Dezember in Chile statt und umfasst 3,8 km Schwimmen, 180 km Radfahren und 42 km Laufen. Klingt einfach? Vielleicht nicht.

Die durchschnittliche Wassertemperatur bei dieser Veranstaltung beträgt etwa 12 Grad. Je länger Sie zum Schwimmen brauchen, desto kälter wird es Ihnen. Die Radstrecke führt durch die Anden, während der Lauf komplett abseits der Straßen verläuft. Auf der Website wird stolz von Eisfeldern, Gletschern und schroffen Bergen gesprochen, damit Sie nicht denken, dass dies eine einfache Veranstaltung ist. Hier wird nichts beschönigt. Wenn die Organisatoren sagen, dass es hart wird, dann wissen Sie, dass es hart wird.

Das klingt, als ob es für abenteuerlustigere Sportler interessant sein könnte. Man muss der Aufgabe in mehr als einer Hinsicht gewachsen sein, aber es ist durchaus machbar. Was wir aus der Presse über die Veranstaltung erfahren haben, ist die Landschaft, die man während der Veranstaltung zu sehen bekommt, die Strapazen auf jeden Fall wert.

4. Flucht vom Alcatraz-Triathlon

Dieser Wettkampf wird seit den 80er Jahren in San Francisco ausgetragen und es gibt nichts Ansprechenderes als diesen Wettkampf, der auf jede beliebige Löffelliste gehört. Abgesehen von seinem Kultstatus ist es auch die Herausforderung, von einer Fähre in eiskaltes Wasser zu springen und dann mit außergewöhnlich starken Strömungen zu kämpfen, die diesen „Kurzdistanz-Triathlon“ für die meisten zu einer echten Herausforderung macht. Die große Mehrheit der Triathleten hat Probleme mit dem Schwimmen, daher wird ein Schwimmen dieser Art den schwächeren Schwimmern schon vor dem Start des Rennens Angst einjagen. Das Schwimmen ist 1,5 Meilen lang, also etwa 2,4 km, wenn Sie geradeaus schwimmen und die Strömung richtig einschätzen. Das kalte Wasser wird eine riesige Herausforderung sein, da es kein Aufwärmen gibt. Sie verlassen die Fähre und gehen ins Wasser. Sie müssen anfangen, hart und schnell zu schwimmen. Das Radfahren ist 18 Meilen lang (weniger als 30 km), aber die kurzen, steilen Hügel werden ausreichen, um den Oberschenkel ordentlich zu beanspruchen. Stellen Sie sicher, dass Ihr Fahrrad vorbereitet und gewartet ist und die Bremsen zu 100 % funktionieren. Dies könnte DAS Rennen sein, bei dem der neue Trend, ein Fahrrad mit Scheibenbremsen zu verwenden, ratsam ist. Der Lauf ist mit 8 Meilen (knapp 13 km) relativ kurz, beinhaltet aber am Ende des Laufs die berüchtigte „Sandleiter“, einen 400-Stufen-Aufstieg vom Strand zurück auf die obere Straße, während die Triathleten sich auf den Weg zur Zielgerade machen.

Ein legendäres Rennen, das auf keiner Bucket List fehlen darf und das hinsichtlich der Distanzen absolut machbar, aber keineswegs einfach ist. Damit ist dies ein äußerst anspruchsvolles Triathlon-Event, an dem wir alle eines Tages teilnehmen sollten.

https://www.escapealcatraztri.com/race-information/the-course

Kann ich bei diesen anspruchsvollen Triathlon-Veranstaltungen das Ziel erreichen?

Natürlich, warum nicht?

Auch wenn Sie ein völliger Neuling in diesem Sport sind, können Sie dennoch das Ziel verfolgen, bei jedem der oben aufgeführten Events ins Ziel zu kommen. Wenn sie nicht machbar wären, würden sie nicht existieren.

Zunächst müssen Sie sich an die Herausforderung gewöhnen. Beginnen Sie mit den kurzen Distanzen und arbeiten Sie sich dann zu den längeren, anspruchsvolleren vor. Wenn Sie sich ins kalte Wasser werfen, werden Sie nur entmutigt und das Ergebnis ist, dass Sie nicht ins Ziel kommen und sich möglicherweise Verletzungen zuziehen.

Natürlich müssen Sie körperlich fit sein (das versteht sich von selbst), aber Sie müssen auch geistig fit sein, um bei diesen jeweiligen Wettkämpfen gut mithalten zu können. Dies braucht, wie alles, was mit dem Geist zu tun hat, Zeit, um sich zu entwickeln, und erst wenn Sie einige Rennen absolviert haben, können Sie anfangen, die nötige geistige Stärke aufzubauen, die Sie brauchen, um diese längeren Rennen zu laufen.

Wahrscheinlich müssen Sie auch sparen. Leider ist kein Sport billig. Die Startgebühren für Triathlons können heutzutage recht hoch sein und Sie müssen auch Reisekosten, Verpflegung und Unterhaltungskosten einkalkulieren. Die Reiseplanung und die Reise selbst werden einige Zeit in Anspruch nehmen. Wenn der Wunsch und der Wille jedoch stark genug sind, wird Ihnen dieser Teil leichter fallen. In gewisser Weise ist das Sparen die größte Hürde vor dem Rennen.

Sie müssen auch weit im Voraus planen. Sie müssen Reisepläne erstellen, dicht gefolgt von Trainingsplänen. Für die genannten Herausforderungen braucht es buchstäblich Jahre des Trainings. Wenn Sie auf die Schaltfläche „Senden“ klicken, stellen Sie sicher, dass Sie die notwendigen kurzfristigen und langfristigen Pläne zur Hand haben.

Vor allem müssen Sie abenteuerlustig und bereit sein, etwas Neues auszuprobieren. Die meisten Ihrer Freunde und Trainingspartner bleiben im Allgemeinen bei dem, was sie kennen und womit sie sich wohlfühlen. Eine Rennherausforderung dieser Art erfordert, dass Sie Ihre Komfortzone verlassen, und Sie werden es wahrscheinlich alleine schaffen müssen. Es sei denn, Sie haben ein paar wirklich gute, willige Freunde.

Und schließlich kann Ihnen Zone3 wirklich helfen, indem es dafür sorgt, dass Sie richtig ausgerüstet sind, um bei diesen Veranstaltungen Ihr Potenzial auszuschöpfen. Beginnen Sie damit, den Reißverschluss Ihres Lieblings -Neoprenanzugs über Ihren Triathlonanzug zu ziehen, und stellen Sie dann sicher, dass alle Ihre Accessoires beim Wechsel leicht zugänglich sind, indem Sie sie in unserer Wechseltasche aufbewahren.

Wenn Sie ernsthaft darüber nachdenken, solche Herausforderungen anzunehmen, sind Sie bereits auf dem richtigen Weg. Die Belohnungen am Ende dieser Events werden umso süßer sein, wenn Sie bereit sind, sich zu engagieren, wenn es sonst niemand tut.

Our speed cuffs are iconic… A game changing invention that made getting wetsuits off quickly and easily in T1, out of the swim and onto the bike. This ‘simple’ feature saves valuable time for athletes racing, didn’t exist 16 years ago. We’re pretty proud of our speed cuffs, a concept now on swim wetsuits throughout the triathlon industry.

Challenge Roth 2025 Recap   A race like no other and one for the history books. For the first time ever, Challenge Roth saw a non-wetsuit swim for both the pros and age groupers! With lots of people scrambling for swimskins when the call was made, we were proud to be right there in the thick of it, being able to support athletes in and out of the water, as the official swim sponsor.   A huge thank you to everyone who came down to our test swims, chatted to the team and took the plunge with ZONE3. From first strokes to final strides, your energy made the weekend.   Whether it was your first full distance race or you know Roth like the back of your hand, you reminded us why we do this: for the shared grit, passion, and love of the triathlon. 🎥 @jacktriathlon 📍 @challengeroth

What. A. Day. 💥 Last Thursday Zone3’s Lake Roadshow Hero event popped up at Swim Six Hills. The day had it all: sunshine, swim tips, wetsuit testing, free swims, refreshing drinks and seriously good vibes. Massive shoutout to Pro Triathlete & @nebulatri.team Coach @rebecca.anderbury who came down to share her swim wisdom. She had a great crowd gathered lakeside, and for good reason, her knowledge and tips were gold. Everyone had the chance to try on a range of Zone3 wetsuits in different styles and sizes, then jump straight in for a free swim at the beautiful open water swim venue. No pressure, just pure open water joy. What really made it special? The mix of people. Triathletes chasing race goals testing upgrades in suits. First-timers just dipping a toe in. Casual open water swimmers wanting a suit to see them through the winter. All in it together. Missed out on trying a wetsuit? Swim Six Hills has the full size curve of ZONE3 Advance wetsuits all season long, or check out where we’ll be at the next stop of the roadshow.

There’s a lot of kit to think about for a triathlon. ✅ The perfect fitting wetsuit ✅ Doubling up on swim caps for warmth and to hold goggles in place ✅ Goggles suitable for the light conditions (& that won’t fog up!) ✅ Anti chafe balm - does what it says on the tin ✅ Sunglasses to protect your eyes on the bike and run ✅ Stretchy laces to save time in transition. These are just a *few* of the things you need to pack for race day. But don’t panic. We’ve got the FULL kit list, so you can tick it off item by item. Comment ‘packing list’ and we’ll DM it to you 👊

Zips go on the back, people! For newbies putting on their first ever triathlon or swim specific wetsuit, we get it, it can be confusing to know which way around the suit should go. Surf wetsuits can have zips on the front or back, swimrun wetsuits are often on the front, and shorties vary too. But FYI all triathlon wetsuits zip up at the back. We’ve been popping up at lots of different events and lakes around the UK the last few months, helping people into wetsuits who haven’t worn one before. And we have seen a lot of people trying to put them on backwards. So if you are a newbie or know a newbie, this is for you 👊 📍 The Quays, Mytchett @quays_watersports @nice1wetsuitscoaching

We’ve seen so many people at events over the last few weeks wearing their swim goggles on their head waaaay before they’re due to swim. Only put your goggles on as you walk down to the water and are about to get in, this stops the heat from your head causing them to fog up! We also recommend splashing your face and dunking your goggles in the water before you start swimming - to eliminate the temperature difference on each side of the lens. And DON’T TOUCH the inside of the lens with your fingers, you’ll wear off the anti-fog coating. 📍 The Quays, @quays_watersports @nice1wetsuitscoaching, Mytchett Lake #tipsfornewbies #triathlon #openwaterswim

What a weekend up at Windermere 💦⛰️ The Great North Swim brought big energy, beautiful scenery, and plenty of Zone3 kit in the water. We had an awesome crew of ambassadors taking on the 5km swim, shoutout to @livs_is_livs who did it in skins 👏 and to @chloedooley who showed up and gave it everything. And a massive congrats to Zone3 Pro @j0m3sf1 for taking the win in the SwimRun - absolutely flying out there, despite the weather warnings! Open water season is officially on, and we’re buzzing to be part of it. @great_swim

This weekend, the Zone3 team also volunteered at the incredible 24-Hour Swim Relay at Shepperton @levelwateruk 🏊‍♀️ We're proud to support Level Water, a charity that gives children with disabilities the opportunity to learn to swim, offering 1-to-1 lessons that empower kids with confidence, movement, and freedom in the water. The 24 hour event brought swimmers together for a non-stop relay challenge, raising vital funds to provide these lessons across the UK. To everyone swimming, supporting, and staying awake through the night: thank you for making a difference. This is what sport is all about.

Blenheim Palace Triathlon 2025 brought together athletes, ambition, and the unmistakable energy of race season. 💥 As the Official Swim Sponsor, Zone3 was proud to support the event which included the British and English Sprint Distance Championships and GB Age-Group Team Qualifier. With athletes of every level pushing their limits and our ambassadors leading from the front, it was a weekend to remember. The rain came down, but the spirit? Unshakeable. The determination? Unstoppable. The atmosphere? Electric ⚡ From first-time triathletes to GB hopefuls, every stroke, step, and smile was a reminder of why we do this. Thanks to everyone who stopped by to chat! And huge kudos to everyone who raced! @blenheimpalacetriathlon

Are you ready for the Arla Great North Swim in June? @zone3official takes you through ‘sighting’ in open water, so you swim in the right direction and don’t zig zag your way around. Practicing sighting before the event will make sure you swim in a straight line and ensures you don’t swim further than you need to on the day. If you’re swimming in the pool, why not grab a bottle and use it as a marker at the end of your lane. Try to lift your eyes or head to look at it every few strokes. If you can practice in the open water, a landmark in the distance is a good marker to swim towards too! #openwaterswimming #zone3 #zone3official #greatnorthswim2025
