Qualified in Wetsuit division. Suits were optional based on the water temp, but I wanted to ensure that I felt comfortable and would finish well.

Course: The run course had to change as well since the bike course is now on part of the old run course. The run course will be a out and back route with the finish still running across the levee. You will leave the transition area in same manner as you have before and take a left hand turn on the park road as before. You will run on the park road through the park and exit Edmund Orgill Park on Mudville Rd. and you will cross Mudville and run north on Merrell Rd. until you reach Old Tipton Rd, where you will take a right hand turn. Old Tipton Rd. will turn into Helene Rd. very quickly; you will run on Helene Rd. until the turn around at mile 3.1. You will then run back in the same direction that you ran out until you reach the levee and you will follow the music across the levee to the finish line. The water and Gatorade stations will be at miles 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Mile one and five stations will be located in the same spot as will mile two and four stations. We will have a water and Gatorade station just before you reach the turn around at mile 3.1.
