Course Details:

Swim: 250 yards

Athletes will line up according to their estimated swim time. Signs will display approximate swim times (4:00 min, 4:30, 5:00, etc.) Prior to the race, you should swim 250 yards to get your best estimate! The fastest swimmers will go first. One participant will start at the same time in each of the two Life Time Fitness pools. Every 10 seconds another participant will enter the water in the designated outside lane of each pool. The participants will then complete one lap (2 lengths of the pool) in the first lane, and then continue in the next adjacent lane, for a total of 5 laps (250 yards). Once athletes complete the swim, they will exit the pool and move to the transition area located outside the Life Time Fitness center. If participating friends wish to line up next to each other for the start of the race, please line up according to the slower swimmer's 250 yard time.

Bike: 13.2 miles total

Map: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=3884424
The bike course will consist of a two-loop (6.6 miles per loop) course utilizing road shoulders and will be open to vehicle traffic. After you complete the first loop of the bike course, you will continue to do a second loop of the same course. Participants will NOT be allowed to ride two or three abreast and may be disqualified by USA Triathlon officials for doing so. Participants may pass by following USA Triathlon bike rules. To view the USA Triathlon rule book, visit http://www.usatriathlon.org. Police officers will be posted at all major intersections to direct traffic. If a police officer motions for you to stop or slow down please do so!! It is for your safety! Please review the map and familiarize yourself with the route. Routes may change without prior notice but any changes will be announced during the pre-race meeting the morning of the event.

This coverage only extends to their participation in a USA Triathlon sanctioned event.
If you have questions specific to your coverage, please email to sanction@usatriathlon.org or call the group benefits department at ESIX at 1-800-342-4371.

Water/Aid Stations
