General Information
Registration fees included or disclosed up front?: Not specified whether registration/convenience fees are added. Course Info: This is a nice clear lake swim which is usually flat, considering the way the lake is situated in the pines. This is an out and back swim course, more than likely a beach start, depending on the water temps.
The bike course has a little bit of everything. Fast flat sections, gradual grinders that we all love, and a few short comfortable climbs as well. Lightly traveled country roads, newly paved, and a 2 loop course for the Olympic distance athletes, slightly longer for both events, means this is a great event for those who love the bike discipline.
The run course is flat and fast, mostly shaded, and is viewed by hundreds of resort residents who turn out to cheer you on as you fly by, winding through the resort.
