Transition Check in- bring your bike AND HELMET to transition for check in. Please have all of your numbers on you and your bike. We will have volunteers to check you in and body mark. Bike racking in open, first come first serve, it is not assigned racking. We do have racking for mountain bikes and or larger wheeled bikes so ask the volunteers about this. Place your race stuff next to your bike. The Transition area will close at 6:45.

Swim and Start-

Line up for swim start will be at 6:45. Line up in numerical order. Swim start will be a time trial start, one person at a time every 3-5 seconds. Please show your number to timer to start. Approximate swim start times will be as follows-

Swim Safety-

This is an open water swim at approximate temps of 68-73 degrees. With the warm air temp it will be a bit of a shock at first. Give yourself time to adjust, control your breathing, get your bearings and then swim on. It at anytime you get excited or anxious, slow down or stop and control your breathing, relax then swim on. At anytime you need help, do not hesitate to ask one of our 6 lifeguards in kayaks for help. We want you safe first, your race is not as important as your safety. Enjoy this beautiful swim!

Swim Exit to Transition-

We will have volunteers helping you out of the swim. If we have enough volunteers we will have some wetsuit strippers, but this is not guaranteed. The path to transition is dirt and gravel, if you have tender feet you may leave shoes or flip flops at the swim exit. There will not be carpet to transition.

Bike Course-
