Mandatory pre-race briefing 8:00am at transition
RACE START:
8:30am race start!
Swim waves: The 1st WAVE will be the competitive/elite field followed by all others in 4 separate waves. Assigned swim caps will coordinate with swim waves.
PARKING:
Parking is limited at Bennington Lake. Early arrivals will park in the main parking area and over flow parking will be on the Bennington Lake dam, a short walk to the transition area. DO NOT WALK DOWN THE ROCKS ON THE DAM as you could be DQ'd. Spectators need to show up early to park in the main parking lot, or plan on walking to the event site from either Rooks Park or the Core of Engineers project office parking area.
ACCESS:
The access road to Bennington Lake will be closed by 8:30am and no traffic will be allowed to enter until the majority of the bicycles have exited the transition area at approximately 10:00am.
Current water temp: 58 degrees - the lake temperature can fluctuate A LOT in the matter of days and will likely be in the mid 60's come race day (but don't hold me to that). A temperature update will be sent race week.
Happy training and see you soon!
