Race #1 - SUPER SPRINT

250m Swim :: 7mi Bike :: 1mi Run

The American Triple-T North Carolina starts everything off with the SUPER SPRINT, a mere warm-up in comparison to the rest of the races, but this short race will be the first opportunity for participants to test out their legs before the “real” racing starts on Saturday and Sunday. The swim starts off in time-trail format in the crystal clear White Lake with participants going off every 1-3 seconds on a spectator friendly rectangle swim course in front of FFA Camp. Participants will then mount their bike for a flat and fast, 7 mile loop around the lake. After completing this fast 7 mile course participants will take on a super fast 1 mile run before the grand finish back at the FFA Camp.
