Hey there, I am training in order to finish the Olympic length (I've done 2 sprints, this will be my first longer one) and was wondering what the course was.  Is the swim an out and back or along the beach?  Also, what kind of chop are we looking at?  Thanx in advance

They moved the course this year but I expect it will out 300 across 400 in 300 or something close to that. The chop is totally unknown. 2 years ago it was glass, last year they had to cancel the swim because it was to ruff. Thats not much help. Its usually pretty easy to swim in but its the gulf so u never know. The bike is super flat but sometimes windy. Run is hot but scenic. Look forward to seeing you there.
