Swim: The swim will take place in the outdoor, 50 meter Penn State Natatorium. In each heat, three swimmers will share each of the eight lanes. Swimmers will stay 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 in front of the Wagner Building on Curtin Rd. Bike: The ride will start out West on Curtin Rd, then turn Right on Bigler Rd, Right on Park Ave, and Left on Fox Hollow Rd towards the Airport. Athletes will continue on Fox Hollow Rd to the turnaround (10 km from the start), then return back to the transition area following the same route. Run: Runners will leave the transition area heading west on Curtin Rd (same as the bike). 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. |
