Race week, the last three years

Course from the organiser's course page. Weather: the seven days around the race date in 2023, 2024, 2025, averaged (Open-Meteo, ERA5). Sea is the sea off the town, not a reading of the swim. The water temperature that counts is the one officials measure on race morning.
