"We are down at Copacabana now, it is a bit of a change from being the village. The course is cool we rode around it this morning, it is iconic for Rio, with a lot of the big beaches, statues and stuff close to the course."
Sissons says the swim could be a challenge for some, but wont worry the Aussies and Kiwis.
"It is not really surfy but there is a bit of a chop around and a wave here and there and that might be better for us Kiwis and Aussies, we are used to that sort of thing and hopefully there are a few waves tomorrow.
"It is always key to put yourself in a good position straight away, I have a good start position with good swimmers around me and I just need to get out and have a solid swim and be there or thereabouts. The bike will be pretty solid with a hard hill every lap of eight laps and then obviously a 10k run off that so I will try to conserve all I can after the swim and bike and take it from there."
The race gets underway at 2am and will be covered live on Sky Sport Rio Pop Up 2 Channel.
