A high-altitude Yunnan race beside Erhai Lake — beautiful, cool and considerably tougher than the elevation profile suggests.
1.9 km swim in Erhai Lake at roughly 1,970 m altitude — clear, cool water beneath the Cangshan range.
One-lap 90 km bike along the Erhai lakeshore road at altitude, rolling rather than steep but noticeably harder on thin air.
Two-lap 21.1 km run on the lakeside promenade and through Dali's old-town approaches, flat but at altitude.
Actual monthly averages from the last 3 years (Open-Meteo). Real race day may vary.
Water temp uses athlete-reported values first, then official race data, then the marine archive (sea swims, measured at the nearest offshore point). Values tagged est. are modelled from recent air temperature for lakes and rivers, where no observational data exists.
