Note about race shirts: please be aware that we ordered Greenlayer Technical Shirts for this event. If you have raced with us in 2011, you likely received one of these shirts. We have experienced many racers wanting to "Size Up" with this style of shirt, and we of course honor that request when possible. Our goal is for everyone to get a shirt that fits and they will enjoy, promise! Shirts must be ordered several weeks before the event and as such have to guess for the late registrants. The combination of this guessing game and folks wanting to size up inevitably leads to someone not getting the size they want on race morning. If you can come out to packet pick up on Friday night, you have the best bet of getting your best fit. If you come out race morning and do not get the size that works for you, you are welcome to come up to the awards area after the race to see if we have your size available from no-show racers. Thanks for your patience with this!

WHERE IT HAPPENS

Cedars of Lebanon State Park is located approximately 31 miles east of Nashville in Wilson County. It is 6 miles south of I-40 on U.S. Highway 231 (State Route 10). From I-40, take exit number 238, go south on Hwy 231 (State Route 10.) The entrance to the park will be on your left (or on the east side) of Hwy. 231. From the Murfreesboro area, just take Hwy. 231 North to the park. If you are coming from Birmingham or Chattanooga area, you can take the new 840 from I-65 or I-24. 840 is only a couple of miles west I-40 exit 238. OR, for a real short cut....if you are traveling from the Birmingham area or Chattanooga area, or in between...take I-840 from I-65 or I-24, then exit for the Nashville Speedway off of 840. Go to Hwy 231, go north on 231, the park entrance will be on your right within a few miles. This will take at least 10 minutes off of your drive.

RACE SUPPORT
ACME Multisport will be on site for race support on Saturday morning and during registration hours Friday - they are there for emergencies only so if your bike needs a tune up, take care of that prior to race day.

ACME Multisports will be set up during the expo selling those last minute items you might need.

EVENT DESCRIPTION
300 yd swim / 16.5 mi bike / 3 mi run

Map My Ride Course Links with Elevation
Bike Course
Run Course

SWIM COURSE (300 yards)
(pdf layout of transition and pool and finish area)

The swim is in the 50 yard outdoor pool. This pool has been resurfaced for this year, with new lane lanes, etc... beautiful! You will enter the pool in an "interval start" fashion. Participants line up by race number (beginning with the lowest number to the highest.) Race Numbers are assigned based on your estimated swim time you submitted when you registered. If you would like to start at the back, that is fine. Your racking position in transition is also organized by your race number.

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 300 yards. When you exit the pool, volunteers will direct you to the transition area where you will begin your bike segment of the race.

TRANSITION AREA
Your racking position in transition is organized by your race number. There will be a MOUNT/DISMOUNT LINE - no riding in the transition area.

REMOVING BIKE FROM TRANSITION AFTER THE RACE:
We will announce when it is ok for racers to remove their bikes from the transition area. Please be aware that others are still racing when many of you have finished and they need the same courtesy of open lanes in the transition area. We will allow racers to retrieve bikes only when we feel they will not impact the flow of others still racing. Thanks for your patience - enjoy the pool, post-race food, grab a shower - we will get you into transition after your race as soon as we can safely do so.

BIKE COURSE
(pdf of the course)

The bike course is a 16.5 mile loop of rolling, mostly rural roads through farms and open land in Wilson County. Roads have a great surface with a rough area of older road surface as you enter back into the park the last three miles. The edges of the road have some washing and there is significant "bumpiness" in areas of miles 13-1/2 until about 15-1/2. This portion is also very shady which affects visibility. Please note that many, many road bikes have traversed this course over the past few years at this race and for recreational rides (including one of your race directors)- so we are confident it is ok to ride, please just show general caution on this last segment.

There are small bridges at around mile 14 and just after mile 15 that will be covered with carpet. You will be able to ride your bike over these bridges, but we ask that you slow down as you approach. If you are training on the course prior to the race, you can ride over the bridges as they are, but do so with caution. Overall, this is a beautiful, well paved course for over 13 miles - expect a couple of good hills with nice recovery down hills between miles 3 and 5, and again between miles 8 and 10. One final short steep climb at mile 12 will send you into the park for a mostly flat finish.

RUN COURSE
(pdf of the course)

The run course is a 3 mile out-and-back course on the state park roads. Not very hilly for most of the course, mostly flat with some slight inclines and rollers and one short steep hill just before the run turnaround.

There will be two aid stations with water and powerade, one about 1/2 way (0.8 miles) to the turnaround, and one at the turnaround. Water and powerade will also be available as you leave the transition for the start of your run.

TIPS FOR RACING IN HOT CONDITIONS

You will probably need as much as 600-800 mg sodium/hr. You can still be sodium depleted if all you drink is water b/c plain water doesn't replace the sodium that you lose through sweat. The body will cool itself better when it is in electrolyte balance; avoid cramping and heat related illness.

Drink 2 gulps (4 oz) every 15 minutes (you can set a timer on your watch if you forget while cycling).

Carry 2 bottles on the bike - 1 water and 1 sports drink.

On the run: Wear a visor and take 2 cups of water at every aid stations - 1 for your head and 1 to drink. Carry ice in your hands to cool down, tuck ice towel around your neck.

During and after the race: You should eat some ice and try to drink COLD fluids.

Keep positive - Don't say the word "HOT" - remember how cold you were this winter - keep that in the front of your mind (seriously)!!

EVENT TIMING & GETTING RESULTS & PHOTOS
We use electronic timing chips, TriTats Body Tattoos, helmet numbers, bike frame numbers, and bib numbers to insure we keep track of you during the race and provide you accurate results. Click HERE or on the image below to see what you need to expect to receive at race packet pick up and what to do to make sure we know who you are in this event.

You will finish your race when you return your bike to the transition area. There is no finish line to cross. Please be sure to turn your timing chip in at the race finish line. Your swim and bike time will be recorded by timing mats and totaled to determine the Aquabike winner.

Your category CANNOT change once the race starts. If a category is not indicated when you register, you will be entered as an individual. If you choose Beginner, you will fall back in your age group if you do not win an award in your chosen category. PLEASE CHECK YOUR LABEL ON YOUR BIB NUMBER WHEN YOU PICK UP YOUR RACE PACKET - notify us of any errors before the race begins.

Beginners are defined as: racers that have competed in three or fewer triathlons and have not received a race award.

IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT GETTING YOUR AWARD:
You can only claim your award at the award ceremony or have someone pick it up for you if you have to leave. Awards will not be mailed. Please be sure to check the draft race results when posted at the race site to see if you will be getting an award or, if you must leave right away, pick a friend to listen at the ceremony for your name. We hope you will choose to stay for the ceremony and celebrate everyone's accomplishments that day - there are also random prize drawings! Hope to see you there.

NOTES ABOUT POST RACE FOOD:
We will be providing Peanut Butter and Jelly, Hot Dogs grilled on site, chips, cookies, fruit, drinks to racers and volunteers. PLEASE tell your friends and family to bring their own snacks as there is no concession stand at this venue. There IS A DRINK MACHINE with soda and bottled water.

When you exit the pool, volunteers will direct you to the transition area where you will begin your bike segment of the race.

GULF UPDATE: This race WILL GO ON! Currently there continues to be a swim advisory in the Gulf of Mexico due to the Deep Water Horizon Oil Spill. This can change at any time of course so we will make our decision on a day-to-day basis if we are able to hold the swim portion of the race in the Gulf. Should there continue to be a swim advisory come race time, we will hold the swim portion in Lake Shelby at the Gulf State Park, only 1.5 miles from our host site at The Hangout. Lake Shelby was the home of the Sandman Triathlon for over 20 years, so racers from the 90's will remember this triathlon venue.

Should we swim in Lake Shelby, we will shuttle swimmers to the swim start with buses and change the races to a swim/run/bike/run. The 1st run will be the 1.5 miles to the race staging area and the 2nd run for both race distances will be shortened appropriately.

Please join us and support the beautiful Gulf Coast of Alabama at this very difficult time. Look for announcements on special prizes, awards and travel packages soon!

THE BASICS:

1. You must present a photo i.d. and your USAT membership card (if you are a member) to receive your race packet. If you have lost your USAT card, please go to www.usatriathlon.org to print a temporary card.

If you do not have your USAT card, you will be required to pay the $10 one day fee. If you do not have a photo id, you will not be able to race.

If you are not a USAT member, you likely paid your $10 fee with your registration fee, if not, you will be asked to pay at packet pick up.

All youth 17&Under must be USAT members or can purchase a full year membership for $5 at the race site if you have not purchased already.

2. Biking before and after the event: the local police ask that you please obey traffic laws and wear a helmet when riding your bike before and after the event.

3. All racers must wear a timing chip to be scored. You will pick up your timing chip during packet pickup and return it at the race finish line. If you cannot complete the race, please turn your chip in at the finish line. If you do not return your chip, you will be charged a $35 replacement fee.

4. Wrist Bands: We will be placing a wrist band on each racer when you pick up your race packet. This wrist band is your "full access" pass to all areas of race weekend that are limited to racers, race staff, and race officials. Please keep this band on for identification purposes. It is intended to be for your safety and to control the race atmosphere. Thanks so much!

5. Directions: Cedars of Lebanon State Park is located approximately 31 miles east of Nashville in Wilson County. It is 6 miles south of I-40 on U.S. Highway 231 (State Route 10). From I-40, take exit number 238, go south on Hwy 231 (State Route 10.) The entrance to the park will be on your left (or on the east side) of Hwy. 231. From the Murfreesboro area, just take Hwy. 231 North to the park. If you are coming from Birmingham or Chattanooga area, you can take the new 840 from I-65 or I-24. 840 is only a couple of miles west I-40 exit 238. OR, for a real short cut....if you are traveling from the Birmingham area or Chattanooga area, or in between...take I-840 from I-65 or I-24, then exit for the Nashville Speedway off of 840. Go to Hwy 231, go north on 231, the park entrance will be on your right within a few miles. This will take at least 10 minutes off of your drive.

6. ROUGH ROAD ALERT ON MILES 13.5 - 15.5
Please show caution as you enter the "wooded area" from Norene Road back into the park. This segment has rough road surface - bumpy surface and washed areas along the very edge. This area is also quite shaded - but please know that there are very few actual "holes" in the pavement and any have been marked. Just realize a bit of the ride will be bumpy. There are two bridges that will be covered with carpet - again, very ridable just show caution - they are very short bridges. Keep in mind that this is the 5th annual event on this road - so this is NOT new or worse, just please take note, show caution and know that miles 1 to about 13.5 are GREAT road surface so make up your time and enjoy there, thanks!

He will be talking about Next Steps: What to do after your first triathlon. Even if this is not your first race, you might pick up some good tips! Or, just enjoy the pool while you wait.

Road conditions at the end of the bike course: The road has been repaired on the shoulders and any potholes filled this week. Hopefully this section of course will be paved for 2008, but it is definitely improved. Just a reminder, we do cover two metal bridges on race morning, but still slow down and show caution in this area. Just remember, the course from mile 13 - 16 is totally ridable, it is just a little bumpy. If you ever ride Old Natchez, it is better than that in my opinion. THE BASICS: 2. You must present a photo i.d. and your USAT membership card (if you are a member) to receive your race packet.
