    🌊 Race Programme 4 — Morning & Afternoon Heats & Finals
    Event: Rimau Veloce
    Distance: 2000M (4 x 500M laps • 2 U-turns)
    Categories: Elite • Advanced • National Teams

    Course Route:
    Straight-line 500M sprint → buoy U-turn → 500M return → repeat for 4 laps
    Total: 2000M • 6 Lanes • Side-by-side

    Expected Conditions:
    • First flag-off: 9:30 AM
    • Tides: Rising from 1.2m @ 10:00 AM → 2.5m @ 2:00 PM
    • Sheltered marina waters, minimal current influence
    • Sea State: Flat, calm, light winds — reliable and consistent for multi-lap racing

    Experience:
    The Rimau Veloce is a true test of pace, precision, and persistence. Each 500M leg demands acceleration, while the two buoy turns per lap push steering skill and team coordination to the limit. With four laps, paddlers must balance power and stamina, holding rhythm under pressure as the crowd roars with every turn and surge to the line.

    🔥 Endurance meets strategy — Rimau Veloce crowns the paddlers who can outlast, out-turn, and out-sprint the competition.

    About the Calorie Calculator

    Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.

    When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.

    Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
