Desire is the key to motivation, but it's determination and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal - a commitment to excellence - that will enable you to attain the success you seek. - Mario Andretti
Swim- 500m
A loop course in the ocean (protected). The course will be clearly marked with orange buoys at the turnarounds. If you get into any trouble please raise your hand so one of the lifesavers can attend to you.
Cycle - 15km
The course is 3 laps of Halls Head Parade and Clipper Way. There will be a full road closure for the cycle leg. Always stay left unless overtaking.
Drafting is Cheating! - Drafting is following closely behind someone in front of you to achieve a wind advantage. A space of four bike lengths must be left between all riders. If we see you drafting, the spectators will take a vote as to if we should add 1 minute to your cycle time.
Run- 4km
The run course is two laps along the footpath past Mary Street Lagoon almost to Mary St roundabout and back again. An out-and-back course on the running path. The run leg will have a drink station (water) so ensure you take a drink especially if it is a hot day. The run turnaroud is 1km.
Important points to note for the cycle & run leg:
- Take care when you exit and enter the bike compound
- Stay to the left, unless overtaking
- Slow right down when you have to U-turn
- Do not try to draft or slipstream because if a pack forms and one competitor falls, the rest will follow
- Please ride carefully and safely at all times
