Yes, the swim was just as Jen described it. The bike was two loops outside the park with a couple medium hills and the run was all in the park.<br />I'm not doing it this year since that's the week after the Cedar Pt Rev3 tri.<br />Looks like I'll see you at the Perfect 10 Miler!KimZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16642938808744681316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7606083241093872357.post-51326284889933789272010-06-29T12:47:01.353-04:002010-06-29T12:47:01.353-04:00I haven't done that race in a few years, but a...I haven't done that race in a few years, but assuming it is the same, here is my take on swim. It is a rectangle where I'll use the regular compass directions even though I don't know what actual position the lake is relative to north. You start off by going east, then turn left and head north (but not too far), then another left and swim past the start and continue going west, eventually turn south and then head back east. The Olympic is a two-lapper, but you never have to get out of the water until you are done. I can't remember if it is a beach start or deep water start. Some sections of course, you can touch bottom.<br /><br />At Fairport, you and I will be vying for last out of the water!JenChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08563573740664018332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7606083241093872357.post-50271989431058898282010-06-29T12:08:01.017-04:002010-06-29T12:08:01.017-04:00I love your plans.
