EVENT DESCRIPTION
600 yd swim / 16.2 mi bike / 3 mi run

Bike Course
Run Course

SWIM COURSE
The swim course is 600 yards in Lake Guntersville. The swim start and swim finish side by side behind the Guntersville Recreation Center. The course is straight out from shore and back. You will swim counter clockwise and keep buoys on your LEFT until you get to the swim exit. Finish the swim behind the host facility, Guntersville Recreation Center and run through a grassy area a short distance to the transition area. You enter the swim based on your race number, from lowest to highest number. The race numbers are assigned based on your estimated swim time, except there will be a Collegiate Racer Start and Relay Teams will start after all Individual Racers. Swimmers will be started approximately every 3 seconds. There will be no changing of start position on race day.

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:
Based on safety concerns the past few years, event management and the City of Guntersville have agreed to only allow racers that have finished to remove their bikes from transition AFTER the last biker is off the course. We expect this to be at about 10 am. Last year we had too many racers that had finished walking their bikes to their cars along the bike finish route. There are simply no good routing options that do not conflict with the end of the bike course. Thanks for your patience in retrieving your bike - 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
The bike course is a 16.2 mile loop with a mix of residential and rural roads. It is flat and fast, with only a couple SMALL rolling hills.

This course has only right hand turns, so do not turn unless it is marked, there is a sign, or a volunteer clearly tells you to turn.

RUN COURSE
The run course is 3 miles out-and-back on a paved running trail that winds along Lake Guntersville.

This is one flat and fast run course! Please try to stay to your left on the running trail going out and coming back to avoid running into others.

Water, energy drinks, ice and ice towels will be available on the course.

POST RACE ACTIVITIES
Great pool-side awards ceremony - stick around and take a dip to cool off from your race. There are facilities for showering adjacent to the pool area. Plenty of food and drink for participants and volunteers.

Please remind your family members that they need to bring snacks or plan to purchase from the concession stand at the pool area, thanks!

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)!!

Experiencing on-the-bike pains like numb hands or a sore neck? Looking to shave off precious seconds from your bike split?

Have you thought about a professional bike fit?
While aerodynamic bikes, wheels and gear can help, a proper and precise bike fit holds the key to drastically improving your ability to ride faster and more efficiently. Having your bike fit specifically to YOU with regards to your flexibility, body type, goals and experience is the most important thing you can do to increase performance and prevent season-ending injuries. Chris Leven will introduce Retul, a state-of-the-art fitting tool which uses motion-capture technology, at this year’s Mountain Lakes Triathlon expo Friday evening from 4:30-7:30. By adding Retul to their fitting arsenal, Birmingham, Alabama-based Cahaba Cycles now has the ability to base fitting adjustments on hard data captured from all parts of the body while the athlete is pedaling his or her bike. For more details please contact Chris at the Trussville location at 205-655-6090.
