CHECK-IN:
Westwood Park Big Oaks Shelter; Friday, August 18, 6:00–8:00PM or Saturday, August 19, 7:00–8:30AM.
COURSE DESCRIPTIONS:
SWIM: The swim start is from a grassy beach. The course is a 0.5-mile, clockwise, triangular loop in the deepest part of Westwood Lake. Lifeguards will be patrolling the course on kayaks or canoes.
BIKE: The 10 mile bike segment is a meandering loop of the mountain bike trail around the lake (counterclockwise). Though elevation changes are less than 50’ per climb, repeated climbing and descending makes the course challenging. The surface is mostly dirt single-track.
RUN: The run course (approximately 4 miles) begins on a wide horse trail heading south from the transition area. The toughest climb of the course comes about one mile in. The route will then join the shaded, scenic bike trail and finish in the reverse direction as the bike start. An aid station will be located at the transition area and at approximately halfway through the run course, before re-joining the mountain bike trail.
