SWIM: The 1.2 mile swim is a counter clockwise 2-lap course featuring a dry land start. Wetsuits Allowed - water temperature ranges from upper 50’s to upper 60’s. BIKE: The 55.5 mile bike is a challenging 2-lap course passing through the fabulous Shawnee State Forest passing along Harber Creek valley on rolling paved fire roads before climbing up through Rock Lick Hollow. The backside of the course is another rolling section through the Bear Creek valley before climbing back out of the valley on Route 125. This course is very twisting and turning and requires good bike handling skills. Come with the proper gearing (42x25-rear) on your bike or you’re not going to have much fun. RUN: The 13.1 mile run is a 2-lap out and back course on the park fire road (some parts gravel/dirt, some paved).
After a few hours of rest, the American Triple-T North Carolina race number 3 gets started at 3:00pm on Saturday. This uniquely formatted triathlon starts with the bike first. Starting in a time-trial format, this fast 40k course is a new route from the previous 40k course. After completing the bike course participants will take on a 1500 meter swim on a two-lap clockwise rectangle swim course along the shoreline of White Lake. After completing the swim (which will cause many to wonder if they can do the run), participants will take on a scenic flat and fast out and back 10k run that features spectacular views of the lake and surrounding community. |
