- Swim
The pool entrance is to the right of the pool building. Volunteers will direct athletes and spectators to the correct areas. Do not try to enter the pool directly from transition. If you are trying to cross a timing mat to get to the pool, you are going the wrong way. Ask a volunteer to redirect you.
THE POOL
All athletes start their race at the pool. This includes Duathlon participants. Participants in the Triathlon will swim and then run to transition. Participants in the Duathlon will not swim, but run directly to transition.
FOR BOTH EVENTS:
Drop Off Process - the same for the Triathlon and the Duathlon
- Drop your athlete at the pool area approximately 20 min before their wave starts.
- Do this AFTER Registration
- Do this AFTER setting up Transition
- Once your athlete is in the swim area, if they are swimming, go around to THE OTHER SIDE OF THE POOL to watch them race; to watch your duathlon athlete, go to the bike course viewing area
- We will be staging athletes up to three waves in advance of their start times
DUATHLON ONLY
Even though duathlon participants do not swim, they do go to the pool because that is where the duathlon’s first phase (running to transition) starts. Everything listed above for the triathlon besides the actual swim applies to the duathlon too.
