"It's been a good training block. I was disappointed with how the first round went but I've put it behind me now," he said.
“It's colder water and a hilly bike course, as well as being double the distance of course, so I'm hoping for a good outcome from this one."
Meanwhile, Commonwealth champion Jodie Stimpson has withdrawn from the women's race after an Achilles tendon issue flared in training.
And Olympic champion Alistair Brownlee is hopeful of starting his World Series campaign in Cape Town next month. He was a late withdrawal from the first round in Abu Dhabi with an ankle ligament injury.

The pair have never fought as seniors but Adams, who won Commonwealth Games gold last year, is looking forward to her first championship appearance in eight years.
"It will be great to be part of such an historic event and to have the opportunity to box in England again," she said.
