The swim starts at 6.30am next to the Noosa Surf Life Saving Club, then zigzags its way out into the ocean before creeping around the coast - making the race a total of 10 kilometres. By 12.30pm, participants should be back on land and picking up their cycling helmets, because the first part of the biking race is also on the first day.
The second day, Stage Two, is all about the bikes. You'll depart from the S2 starting area at around 6.00am, finishing the track for a total of 275.8 km on day two, and 145.3 km the day prior.
The final day sees racers drop their wheels and lace up their running shoes. This particular stage begins at the same place the swimmers did, and incorporates 84.3 km of pristine Sunshine Coast countryside. Hey, nobody said it would be easy!
