Transition Area:
• The transition area is located on the beach. The bike racks will not be numbered – the triathletes may rack their bike first come – first serve.
• Only participants are allowed in the transition area. The bikes racks will be fenced in so that only participants can access the area.
• No bike storage overnight.
• Only the race participant may remove his/her bike from the transition area.
• Participants must run their bikes to the transition area entrance before mounting and must dismount at the transition area entrance upon completing the bike leg.
Swim (Triathlon only):
• Swim caps are provided in the race packet and must be worn.
• Be prepared to swim at 7am
• The swim is a mass start – meaning, all swimmers begin at the same time.
• The swim is parallel to the shore and with the current. So, swimmers will swim approx. 35m out around the first buoy – swim 430m down passing the second buoy on their inside and at the third buoy – swim 35m in to shore. There are three yellow buoys in the water. Swimmers must swim on the outside of the buoys at all times.
• There will be plenty of water support in the water. If you feel you need assistance during the swim, roll over on your back and raise your hand in the air.
• Swimmers will exit the water directly in front of the transition area.
• There will be water available for the swimmers as they exit the ocean.
Bike:
• The bike course is entirely on the beach.
• Bikers will ride 1.5mi down the beach to a turn around – then ride 3mi down the beach to another turn around – then 1.5mi back to the transition area. The turn around(s) will be staffed with volunteers and very visible – but it is up to the triathlete to be aware of where they are at all times.
Run:
• The run course is entirely on the beach
• Duathletes will start their race with a 1.5mi run
• Duathletes and triathletes will run the same 3rd leg of the race – a 3mi run. The run is a .75mi down the beach to a turn around - then run 1.5mi down the beach to another turnaround - then run back .75mi to the finish.
