2011 Festival of Flowers Triathlon:
Course Information:
SWIM:
The swim begins in the water that is normally on the border-line between wetsuit legal and not. The course is a counter clockwise rectangular loop beginning at the run finish location and ending a few hundred yards away at the transition area.
BIKE:
The bike course changed in 2006 to eliminate two out and back sections. Now athletes will travel the one loop 24 mile course without any out and back stretches. This change makes for a safer and faster course. Road surfaces are good to excellent. Turns are marked with pavement markings and directional arrows with police and volunteers at all intersections. A water bottle handoff is found at mile 13.
RUN:
The run is an out and back 10k affair. 90% of the run is closed to traffic. Aid stations are placed every mile and approximately 40% of the course is shaded. The entire run is on pavement and athletes finish with a very short but steep hill up to the John Drummond Center.
