THE SWIM -- 1/2 mile: | This is an open water swim. Water temperatures will most likely be sub-70F. Though use of wet suits is subject to USA Triathlon rules, we expect that it will be a wetsuit swim. There will be boats and other water safety aid available during the swim but such should not take the place of training. You should be able to swim at least 12 mile before deciding to enter this event. All swimmers will be required to wear swim caps, which will be provided. |
THE BIKE -- 18 miles: | This is an out and back course from New Roads to the Island. The course is very flat. The roads are paved and, under Louisiana standards, have reasonably good surfaces. There are some potholes and areas that we will mark to call your attention to them but you are required to keep your attention to your ride and your surroundings. All turns will be marked. Volunteers will be on the course but you are to stay aware of the surroundings and to know the course! |
THE RUN -- 5K (3.1 miles): | The run will start and finish at or near the transition area at the boat ramp. The course will include the streets within and around the City of New Roads. The course will be marked and volunteers will be on the course. There will be at least 2 possibilities to pass an aid station on the run. The aid stations will offer water, fluid replacement drinks, and energy gels. |
