A 10AM start, a crystal clear heated lake along with super fast bike and run courses. What more can you ask for? Located just 45 minutes SW of Fredericksburg and 45 minutes NW of Richmond at the Lake Anna Beach and Marina this is the last weekend of racing in the 2011 Virginia Triathlon Series. The Giant Acorn triathlon has sold out every year for the last 5 years.
Swim Course: The 1500 meter swim begins with an in water start with the course going around the transition area and the finish line. Your friends and loved ones can walk around the race site and never be more than 250 yards from you as you make the 3 right hand turns that make up the course. This section of Lake Anna is unique in that the water coming into this section is used to cool the power plant and is a good 6-10 degrees warmer than the rest of the lake. The water temperature has averaged in the mid 70's which is pretty nice for October! (*Note - The power plant is currently off due to the earthquake)
Bike Course: The bike course is 2 loops of the sprint course for 40K. With a left turn out of the marina the bike is all on fresh pavement and is mostly flat with some rolling sections. The best sections are when you race across the causeways with water on either side of you.
Run Course: The run is the same as the sprint course, it's just 2 loops. It goes straight out the gate then turns left onto Eastham. Athletes then come back and turn right on the dam access trail then left onto a short section of trail to start your second loop. Finishing your second lap athletes turn right back towards the water and the finish line.
