Subject: RE: Lowell YMCA race I have. The swim is a bit crazy - you get the benefit of the current for a good length, but have to cut back against it for about 300 meters. then get out, run down the beach and dive back in. I'd also say it didn't really feel like a mile (maybe because you have to get out and run )- I just did Mass State with a .9 swim and it felt longer. If you are a good strong swimmer it will be a piece of cake.
The bike is flat and the run is even flatter if possible! you should get lots of speed practice but no hills with this race.
Enjoy!
