Swim

The pool is a 25 meter chlorinated pool. Change rooms and bathrooms are located at the pool and registration area. There are no lockers so please leave your valuables locked in your car and your clothes at the transition area. Check in with the Race Marshall at least 1/2 hour before your race time. We have previously swam 2 to a lane. This may change to 3 this year. Relax and enjoy the swim, you can take as long as you need to finish. With the race chips we can work around you. Some racers wear their swimming attire for the whole race. If you prefer to change please do so in the change room - just remember this counts as part of the race.

Swim - Bike Transition

The pool to transition distance is about 15 meters. Most competitors run in bare feet to the transition area. There are to be no people other than competitors in the transitions area. At race time it is very active and congested. For safety's sake don't enter without a race number. (The brute squad will get you.) Do not mount your bike until you are out of the transition area. Your helmet must be on and fastened before your bike comes off the rack. Remember where your bike came from as you will need to find your shoes for the run.

Bike Course

The course heads south then west where you may be challenged by our gentle chinook winds. After 5 km the race turns south again up a moderate hill to a gentle down slope to the 15 km turn. The Olympic distance competitors will continue up Windmill hill, a challenge for even the best riders. At the turn its mostly downhill and usually down wind. The ride home can be very quick - make sure you can handle the speed. Brakes aren't just for sissies.

Bike/Run Transition

You must get off your bike before entering the transitions area and your helmet must remain on until your bike is racked. Remember where you left your shoes.

Run

The course is mostly flat, winding through Fort Macleod south and east to the industrial area. The route is all paved.

Finish

All done at last. Please join us for food, fruit, treats and liquid at the Curling Club. Remember that only paid participants will be allowed to eat at the Curling Club.

**Please remove your bike and clothes from the transition area as quickly as possible. This helps reduce congestion for the later racers.
