• Description: The short 500 meter swim is great for first timers but long enough to get a good feel for the open water lake swim course. Wetsuits will be allowed and the course will be a clockwise loop. Sprint distance athletes will turn at the yellow triangular buoys rather than continuing straight as the International distance athletes will do. We expect water temperatures to be between 70 and 73 degrees.
  
  The 10 mile bike course is a simple out and back design with only one turn and the turn around point being found on Hwy 7 a mile and a half outside the main entrance to the park. So, the majority of this course will take place on the roads of the State Park. The course is best described as rolling to hilly, but with only 10 miles to tackle it is over before you know it.
  
  The 5K run is also an out and back affair with all of the course being held on the main road leading into the State Park. Straight out and straight back with no turns, this course is simple and straight forward. The terrain is rolling with a significant downhill starting the event and the same hill, only the opposite direction (UP!), to finish it off. Aid Stations are at miles 0.8 and 1.55 serving Sportsdrink, Water and Hammer Gel.
