The TriByKnight Triathlon in Waverly, IA, will begin at 9 a.m. Saturday, May 7th, 2016. The event will consist of an indoor 300-yard swim, 15-mile bike ride and 5K run. This triathlon boasts an INDOOR swim, which new triathletes are sure to appreciate.

• The 300 yard swim will be held in the Wartburg-Waverly Sports & Wellness Center Pool, with the time trial start beginning at 9 a.m. The W pool is a six-lane pool filled with warm clean water. It is supervised by lifeguards and guaranteed to be free from the things lurking beneath most open-water swims. Swimmers will share a single start point and will begin their swim in standard intervals. Participants will swim up and back in each lane, working their way across the pool in serpentine fashion, swimming a total of 300 yards and exit at a single exit point.

• The 15-mile bike ride will be a loop course. The course gently rolls out into scenic and friendly Midwest farm country. Here's a link to a map of the bike course:
