If you ever get the chance to go to a World Championship event you have to take it. The buzz is just that little bit more.

Location: A few days in Vegas on the tables is the best way to prepare for the event. The hotels are cheap, have free drinks and food if you lose enough on the tables. A fun way to start the event.

The actually event is hosted at 5star hotel outside of Vegas, with lots of derelict houses around after the US house bubble burst, the golf course has also dried up, but the hotel is still pretty nice.

Swim: In Lake Las Vegas, which is basically a man made urinal. An event that requires you to keep your mouth firm closed.

Bike: A great bike course out into the rolling hills around Vegas, a surprising amount of vertical.

Run: It's Vegas, so hot and humid. Basically runs around some residential areas. 3 or 4 laps of a course with a few ups and downs.

Overall: A lot of fun and great location. Spend a few extra days and see the Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam, Zion Canyon, Bryce Canyon and Yosemite National Park to make an even better trip. A stunning part of the world.

The race in Lake Las Vegas, Henderson, Nevada is definitely among the toughest races, a true world championship course. There are 2 transition zones approx. 30km apart. The first in Lake Las Vegas, where the swim takes place, and the second in the city of Henderson. As the swim starts in waves the transition closes half an hour before the pros start. This results in long waiting for those age groupers whose waves kick-off much later (upto 1.5hr after the pros or 2hr after the transition closes). The bike course is challenging and goes through Lake Mead National Recreation Area that includes several steep climbs. Athletes need to be extra careful as the roads are still open to traffic. The run is equally challenging as the course is hilly and the temperature exceeds 41 degrees Celsius (106 degrees Fahrenheit). Athletes who are not used to such high temperatures will find it hard to perform well.
