You will follow the bike course heading in the opposite direction!Tri it Athletes will complete their loops within the park.YOU MUST STAY ON THE SIDEWALKS AT ALL TIME AND ONLY CROSS THE ROADWAYS WHERE VOLUNTEERS ARE DIRECTING YOU.• When you are about 25 feet from the transition area you will enter the gates to Chaparral\, where you will either run around the building and through transition to complete your second lap for Olympic athletes\, or if you are finishing (Sprint course = 1 lap) you will head to the finish line gantry set up. 								\n				\n				\n					\n						\n				\n					 THE TRANSITION \n							\n			\n			\n		\n\n						\n				\n					\n				\n				\n									Standard = 2 LAPS | 10.3km      Sprint = 1 LAP | 5.5km      Tri it =2km (in park only) \nhttps://www.plotaroute.com/route/1981221 \nThe 1 (Sprint) or 2 (standard) lap course will wind in and around the Lake Chaparral Community. You will follow the bike course heading in the opposite direction!Tri it Athletes will complete their loops within the park.YOU MUST STAY ON THE SIDEWALKS AT ALL TIME AND ONLY CROSS THE ROADWAYS WHERE VOLUNTEERS ARE DIRECTING YOU.• When you are about 25 feet from the transition area you will enter the gates to Chaparral\, where you will either run around the building and through transition to complete your second lap for Olympic athletes\, or if you are finishing (Sprint course = 1 lap) you will head to the finish line gantry set up. 								\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n				\n					\n						\n				\n					 TEAM EVENTS \n							\n			\n			\n		\n\n						\n				\n					\n				\n				\n									STANDARD AND SPRINT DISTANCE. \nThe concept is simple: 1 person swims\, 1 person bikes and 1 person runs. The ‘baton’ (timing chip) is passed between each team member in transition. Teams are a great way to take on a triathlon with friends or family.  Same sex\, or mixed\, race in one category. 								\n				\n					\n				\n					\n						\n				\n					 OPEN WATER SWIM \n							\n			\n			\n		\n\n						\n				\n					\n				\n				\n									750M\, 1500M\, 3000M \nNOTE: the course will be swum in a clockwise direction. \n\nThe 3km course consists of four (4) laps around the 750m loop. Swimmers keep buoys on their right. Swimmers will exit the water and run over the timing pad on shore to get their finish time. Swimmers will be responsible for counting their own laps.  \n\n\nThe 1.5 km course consists of two (2) laps around the orange buoys.  \nAll races will start in waist deep water\, just south of the docks.\n\n\nThe starting area is very wide and you will seed yourself according to your swimming ability. \n\n\nIt’s hard to predict the water temperature on race day\, but it has hovered within a few degrees of 19 Celsius recently. The temperature will vary throughout the course as well. We will provide the water temperature to swimmers that morning.\n\n\nIt is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you allow time in the morning for a proper warm-up IN THE WATER. This greatly reduces the occurrence of panic and shock in the water and will help you have a successful swim.\n\n\nIf you anticipate a longer swim time\, or are bothered by cooler temperatures\, it is suggested that you wear two swim caps (a neoprene cap under your race cap provides the best insulation\, but a silicone one will help as well).\n\n\nIf at any time during the swim you think you may require aid\, stop and raise your arm to get the attention of the swim course safety team. You may hang on to one of the support boats if you need to. You will NOT be disqualified as long as the boat doesn’t provide propulsion. The boat staff will let you know if they intend to move you off the course. \nIf you wish to stop racing at any point throughout the event\, please be sure to notify an official. It becomes a safety concern if you do not\, as our safety teams will be looking for you on the course.\n								\n				\n					\n				\n					\n						\n				\n					 KIDS OF STEEL \n							\n			\n			\n		\n\n						\n				\n					\n				\n				\n									REMINDERS: \n\nWhen arriving for checkin\, please be aware that the adults will be racing!  Keep your heads up at all times when accessing the site.\nOne parent can help one child in transition for those ages 7&Under.\nFloatation devices are allowed for age 7&Under and 8-9. \nParents are able to assist in the water\, but note – the water is deep and you must assist other children in the water as well\n\n\n\n\n\nTHE SWIM \n\n\nSWIM DISTANCE \n\n\nCOURSE DETAILS \n\n\n\n\n7&Under (KOS) \n\n\n50m \n\n\n** FLOATATION DEVICES & PARENTAL SUPPORT ARE WELCOMEDFrom the start area\, you will swim directly across the dock-line to the boatramp exit. \n\n\n\n\n8-9(KOS) \n\n\n100m \n\n\n** FLOATATION DEVICES & PARENTAL SUPPORT ARE WELCOMEDFrom the 8-9yr start area\, you will swim directly across to bouy #1 then turn Left to the dock. \n\n\n\n\n10-11(KOS) \n\n\n150m \n\n\nFrom the start area\, you will swim directly across to bouy #5 then return to the dock. \n\n\n\n\n12-13(KOS) \n\n150m\nFrom the start area\, you will swim directly across to bouy #5 then return to the dock.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTHE BIKE \n\n\nBIKE DISTANCE \n\n\nCOURSE DETAILS \n\n\n\n\n7&Under (KOS) \n\n\n800m \n\n\nThe bike heads East on Chaparral Dr SE.
