Has anyon done the sprint course?  It looks identical to the sprint held there in June.

It is the same bike...2 laps around the park. The run is probably the same, but between 5ks and multisport events, I can't say with certainty that the run is exactly the same. Suffice it to say...it's a trail run. I believe the swim could be different. Instead of a one lap swim fo the sprint, I've been in some Pinchot swims that is 2 laps. You swim to the concrete wall, touch or run around a flag, then do a second lap.

I did the sprint course last year.  The bike is a 2 lap course, the Olympic distance is 3 laps.  The swim is a triangle course around buoys, the Olympic is 2 laps.  The run is on a trail.  You basically run to the trail than do a loop in the woods and come to back to transition.  I dont know the June course but if you have a link to it I could tell you if it is the same course.

Anybody know, for certain, if wetsuits are illegal tomorrow?  I've posted on their Facebook page, but didn't get an answer...

The water was too warm for wetsuits a few days ago, but a friend of mine swam there Thursday night, and posted on Central PA Tri Geeks on fb that it was cooling off fast, and that anyone doing the race should probably go prepared for both a wetsuit legal and a non-wetsuit race. Normally that decision is made on race morning.

I raced the Super Sprint this morning. Water temp was 81 degrees, no wetsuits. Have a great race tomorrow.
