RACE GUIDE

Hello all participants!

The race is ALMOST here!!!  Please read this RACE GUIDE!

Due to the recent heavy rains, there is a chance that we will be re-routing the bike and run course, but that will be determined in the morning.  Whatever the route, they will be well marked and the RACE IS STILL ON!!

The forecast predicts:
Tonight: A 20 percent chance of showers. Patchy fog after 11pm. Otherwise, mostly cloudy, with a low around 38. Southwest wind between 6 and 9 mph.

Saturday: A 20 percent chance of showers. Patchy fog before 11am. Otherwise, partly sunny, with a high near 60.

Therefore, temps will be between 40 and 60 degrees, slight chance of moisture - so dress appropriately.  Due to the cool temps, we will be allowing towels only (ie, no other race gear) inside the pool area, so that you can dry off BEFORE going outside to the transition area.  Also, if you would like to change out of your wet clothes completely you will have the option of going into the locker rooms to change and then back out through the pool area to the transition.  The added time to do this will be up to you.  

I've created a race guide that reviews all rules and the schedule for the day.  PLEASE read this before hand.  It will also be provided in your race packet to read through when you check in, and we will review key points during the pre-race meeting.
