Swim:
The water will be in the 60's so wear a wetsuit. If you don't have one, you may rent one from wetsuitrental.com. The swim will be started in waves and is 500 yards.

Bike:
All USAT rules will apply.

No recumbent bikes allowed!

The route is 12.5 miles and will consist of 1 big counter clockwise lap PLUS 3 additional small laps of Fiesta Island. Riders on the first lap will merge with others after about 2 miles and must stay to the right as riders from previous waves may be making the sharp left hand turn. There is one additional hazardous corner on the course and it should be practiced beforehand if possible. The course is very flat but tends to have a headwind on one side and a tailwind on the other.

Don't pick up your bike until you strap your helmet. Don't draft. It will be easy to draft as more riders enter the course. Big brother is watching you! Don't block. Stay to the right except to pass. Fall back once you are passed as it is the passed riders responsibility to fall back.

Run:
The run is 5 km and starts at the transition area and follows along the outer perimeter of the island to a turn around point. This year the run will be on the road so be ready to run FAST. Will anyone beat James' 14:50 from last year?
