_ 2016 Gut Check Triathlon & Duathlon
Toughest Sprint Triathlon on CAPE COD…
There are more than enough "typical" sprint triathlons and duathlons out there. How about a true test to end your 2016 triathlon season? A .25-mile pond swim in 60-degree water (for duathletes: a 2-mile killer trail run). 9 miles on your road bike climbing a total of 1000 vertical feet. A 3-mile technical trail run through the woods of Nickerson State Park starting with an 18% hill descent and a deep-sand beach sprint.
Leg #1: Triathletes. A beach start, running into the chilly waters of Cliff Pond. Wetsuits are mandatory. A 500-yard, rectangular course with lifeguard support.
Leg #1: Duathletes. A narrow, very technical 2-mile run around Little Cliff Pond ending with a beach run alongside Cliff Pond before the transition climb.
Transition climb: All athletes. a difficult, 300-foot stair climb from end of swim to transition area.
Leg #2: All athletes. A 9-mile bike on paved roads with very challenging hills. Racers follow signs through Area 6 and 6 Extension, make a left turn onto Nook Road. Continue to the entrance to Area 7. Turn into Area 7 for a loop that brings you back to Nook Rd. Return to Area 6 for the next loop (3 loops total).
Leg #3: All athletes. A 3-mile run into the seldom-visited backcountry of DCR-Nickerson State Park. Narrow trails and frequent rocks and roots underfoot require alertness and agility. The run finishes with a third of a mile sand run along Cliff Pond Beach followed by a 300-foot, 18% climb up the largest cliff on Cape Cod
On Route 6 (Cape Cod) take exit 12.
Turn left at the light towards Brewster.
In 1.8 miles turn left into DCR Nickerson State Park.
Travel on the main road of the park for about 3 miles, Area 6 is on the left.
