  USA Championship - 1.5K swim / 32K mountain bike / 10K trail run
  
  The swim:
  The Big Kahuna's cannon blast signals the start of the swim in the crystal-clear waters of Lake Tahoe. XTERRA competitors hit the water for a 1.5K swim: two laps of a 750-meter course are followed by a quick sprint to a grassy area for T1.
  
  The mountain bike:
  (Cut-off time is strictly enforced. Competitors will be pulled from the bike/run transition at 1:30pm) The second leg is a grand, single-loop 32K mountain bike for both XTERRA and XTERRA Nevada competitors. Following a short, paved section through Incline Village, competitors reach the trail heads at the Lake Tahoe Nevada State Park where the real race begins.
  
  The trail run:
  The final leg is a 10K trail run for championship competitors and 5K for XTERRA Nevada. The course starts out of transition along a wide soccer field. Championship competitors do two laps of this 5K course. XTERRA Nevada racers do one.
