The Balatonman is a triathlon event at the Balaton Lake in Hungary. It covers several distances. One of which is the so called “special distance” wich basically contains a middle distance swim of 1,9 km, a (alomost) long distance bike ride (163,8 km) and a short distance run (10,5 km).

After the two lap swim you get on the bike. The bike ride starts with a little climb out of the town before you reach the bike lap which is slightly hilly and can be quite windy.

The run course is two laps of 5,25 km mostly alongside the balaton lake.
