TRANSITION AREA NOTES
__________________________

The race transition area is organized based on your assigned race number. The bike racks are marked by ranges of "7" numbers, beginning with 1 through 7 and so on. Each bike rack ROW is also marked with a sign to help you find your row as you complete your swim-to-bike and bike-to-run transitions. Bikes do not have to be racked in numerical order ON the rack, but must be placed on the rack designated for your race number range.

SWIM COURSE: 200 METERS SPRINT | 100 METERS SUPER SPRINT

The swim is in the 50 meter indoor pool. You will enter the pool in an "interval start" fashion. Participants line up by race number (beginning with the lowest number to the highest.) The SUPER SPRINT begins first with racer #1 and the SPRINT follows with a beginning racer #505. Race Numbers in each event are assigned based on your estimated swim time you submitted when you registered. Check out this chart to help you estimate your swim time. Racers are allowed to move to the back of the line to start. Your racking position in transition is also organized by your race number. One person at a time enters the pool and begins swimming when given the start command. Swim down the first lane, touch the wall, go under the lane rope, swim down that lane, and continue the same process until you exit after swimming 4 lengths for a total of 200 meters for sprint and 2 lengths for super sprint. When you exit the pool, volunteers will direct you to the transition area adjacent to The Parthenon, where you will begin your bike segment of the race.  The distance from the pool to the transition area is about 0.15 miles on pavement and sidewalk, so if you want to wear shoes, there will be a staging area for them outside of the pool exit.

There will be no moving up in swim order on race day. Pre-register by te Wednesday night before the race to get a spot in the swim order. All registrants after that time will have the upper numbers and be starting at the rear.
