Anybody doing this race on Sunday?

I'm from out of state, so I'm curious about previewing parts of the course. Does anybody know if the bike course (specifically the first/last ~7 miles) is safe for riding during normal conditions? And, how big is the river? Is it safe to swim in a small group, without support?

Thanks! See y'all out there!

I am not doing the race, but did the race in 2012. You could drive the course, but riding the course would be imposible until the day of the race. The first mile-2 miles is on side streets, the majority of the bike course is on the highway. It will be coned off during the race, but not before. You can easily drive it, I did before the race.

It is a nice course, has several decents climbs, but was a great race.

Thanks for the reply. I figured that would be the case. Looks like one of the hills is pretty nasty, based on the elevation profile.

Any recommended roads to ride from the downtown area, just to get in 15 or so miles of leg stretching Saturday?

I am not too familiar with the roads Downtown. I will see if I can find anyone from the Chattanooga Triathlon Club to see if they would have any recommendations.

It is a great race, I am sure you will enjoy it. It will be a regular staple in my race schedule when I get back to the area.

Race report on the Chattanooga Waterfront Tri - Beginners Point of View. This was my first Olympic length triathlon and also the first time I had done a race with cycling shoes instead of cages.
