The swim will take place in the outdoor, 50 meter Penn State Natatorium. The first five heats will have two swimmers starting at each end of each lane and the last two heats will have three swimmers at each end. Swimmers will circle swim (staying to the right) and complete 750 M (15 lengths) in the pool, then exit the pool from the side opposite of where they started. Heats will be determined using swim seed times to help ensure reasonable matches in swimming ability within each lane. Transition Area: The transition area will be located across Curtin Rd on the grassy area next to the sand volleyball courts by East Halls. Bike: The bike course has changed slightly to eliminate the cyclists and runners having to cross paths. The ride will start out East on Curtin Rd, then turn Left on on Porter Rd just after passing by Beaver Stadium. Porter Rd crosses Park ave and becomes Fox Hollow Rd. Athletes will follow Fox Hollow Rd past the Airport and turn around at the intersection with Rock Rd, then return back to the transition area following the same route. Run: Runners will leave the transition area heading west on Curtin Rd. They will then turn Right on Bigler Rd and follow it across Park Ave, continuing past the new law school building and turning right on Service Rd. They will then turn Left on Big Hollow Rd, Right on Tower Rd, and Right on University Dr to the turnaround point (at the intersection of University Dr and Park Ave), then return to the finish line backtracking along the same course. The finish line will be on Curtin Rd, just before the transition area. |
