COURSE DESCRIPTION
GJCC Memorial Day Triathlon

(200 meter swim / 8.65 mile bike / 2 mile run)

Click for a swim/transition/staging pdf map

Click for a complete course overview pdf map

The Swim: The swim is in a 50 meter outdoor pool. You will enter the pool in an "interval start" fashion. Participants line up by race number (beginning with the lowest number to the highest.) Your race number is assigned based on the estimated swim time you provided when you registered.

NEW FOR 2011: Due to a new personalized race number system we are using, THOSE REGISTERED BY MONDAY, MAY 16th are starting in a "1st wave" by swim time. Those that registered after May 16th will also start by swim time, but after all the May 16th and prior pre-registered racers start. We will have a time delay before the "2nd wave" of interval starts begin so the faster swimmers in wave 2 will have open water.

You can choose to line up at the end if you prefer. One person at a time enters the pool and begins swimming when given the start command. Swim down the first lane, touch the wall, go under the lane rope, swim down that lane, and continue the same process until you exit after swimming four lengths for a total of 200 meters. When you exit the pool, volunteers will direct you to the transition area where you will begin your bike segment of the race.

The Bike: The bike course is a loop course on Hwy. 70, Hwy. 100, and Old Hickory Boulevard, with only one real climb about 0.2 mile long.
Race officials and police will monitor intersections and provide direction for bikers.

Please note: there are some orange arrows and white arrows on the course that ARE NOT part of our direction. Please be sure to review your course map and written direction links above and follow on the YELLOW turn arrows that will be in place Saturday. As you leave the main staging area, you make a left turn, after that you have 5 right hand turns and 1 final left turn back into the staging area.

The Run: The run course will be 2 miles out and back on residential roads surrounding the GJCC. (Percy Warner Boulevard)

USA TRIATHLON AMBASSADOR PROGRAM AT GJCC TRIATHLON - CHECK IT OUT!

USA Triathlon staff will be attending the GJCC Memorial Triathlon for the purpose of conducting an Ambassador training session. Through this new program, USAT is looking for volunteers willing to give back to the world of multisport as USAT Ambassadors. Dubbed the “USAT Pit Crew”, members of this exclusive group will be trained to man their very own “USAT Fueling Stations” at local events, helping to give a better understanding to all multisport athletes about what USAT does to support them. Ambassadors are encouraged to also participate in events they work at (including this event), so any concerns about losing out on a race weekend are alleviated. After this weekend training session, Ambassadors will receive a special t-shirt and banner, and will be eligible to earn free items from USA Triathlon by working at future events! (Free items include USAT memberships and merchandise.) Following is the training schedule at this event:

Sunday, May 27th
10:30 AM – 1:30 PM: Classroom instruction
2:30 PM – 4:30 PM: On the job training at packet pick-up

Monday, May 28th
Approximately 9:30 AM – 10:30 AM (no more than one hour commitment after the race): Post-race on the job training

Consider giving back to the sport through this important initiative. Not only will you be earning free stuff, you’ll be having fun meeting athletes and helping multisport continue to thrive. Please email Jennifer@usatriathlon.org if you are interested in becoming a USAT Ambassador at this event or one in the future. More information can also be found in the Membership portion of our website, www.usatriathlon.org.
- Jennifer O-Day, USA Triathlon

That is it for now - see you Sunday/Monday!

Thanks for racing with us! We hope you have a great time.

See you at the races,

Hello from Team Magic and the Staff at the Gordon Jewish Community Center of Nashville!

Thanks for registering for the 3rd Annual Plumgood Food GJCC Memorial Day Triathlon. Not sure if you are aware, but the race sold out in early May - so congratulations on getting in!

I have been contacted by a few people about dropping out of the event for various reasons.

Please email us at races@team-magic.com if you now find you cannot race in this event. We do have a waiting list of over 50 people that would like to take your spot!

As you may have seen on our web site, we do have a NO REFUND policy. Your options if you notify us by Wednesday, May 23rd that you are dropping out:

1. We will send you a transfer credit of 50% of your entry fee to be used to register online for another Team Magic event.
2. If you can volunteer for the event, we will actually give you a full transfer for another event.

Again, we hope all of you are joining us for the race, but if you are not, please let us know. This event is truly limited by space, so we can only allow 350 racers.

Look for more information from us early next week on final race instructions. For now, please visit the race web page for complete race details (course maps, schedule, awards, etc...)

Final Notes For Now:
1. You are starting based on your estimated swim time - if you need to adjust your swim time you can do so online by going to our web site www.team-magic.com: Register for an event > Participant Info > Questions/Updates. You must do this by Wednesday, May 23rd at midnight.

2. Q&A With USA Triathlon’s Membership Director

USA Triathlon hears this question all the time: “Who is USA Triathlon and what do they do for me?”. On May 27th, in conjunction with the GJCC Memorial Triathlon, Jennifer O’Day, the Membership Services Director for USA Triathlon, will be in town to explain just that. Join her at 4:15 PM prior to the race overview at the Gordon Jewish Community Center for a brief presentation explaining USA Triathlon’s programs, and come with any questions you may have. Whether you’re new to the sport, or a seasoned veteran, you’ll leave having a better understanding of how your annual membership and one-day license dollars are being used for the benefit of multi-sport. For more information email Jennifer@usatriathlon.org.

Thanks again for racing with Team Magic! We look forward to seeing you at the GJCC and hopefully many future Team Magic events.
