Description

The 3rd event in the 2010 TrySports Triathlon Development Series, the Riverwood Golf and Athletic Club Triathlon is one of the best. Located in Clayton, NC this event is easy to get to and is a great event for the beginner and the advanced triathlete.

The event starts out in the waveless pool at the Riverwood Athletic club and transitions into one of the coolest bike courses around. The bike course is mostly rural and lightly rolling. It is a fast bike course if the wind holds off. The run course takes you through Riverwoods jogging paths and down along the river. The finish takes you to one of the best post event spreads in the state as pizza, pasta and other goodies are under the white tent at the finish line.

Swim Times

The last day to change your swim time is Friday April 9th. You can do this by logging into your profile, selecting this race registration and updating your swim time. Be sure to enter your time in MM:SS format.

How to submit or change your swim time

Based upon your estimated 100 yard swim time you will be assigned a specific start time. It is in your best interest to submit a time as accurate as possible. Submitting a time that is too fast for you puts you up with swimmers who will be passing you during the swim - not good for you or them. Putting a time that is too slow places you with slower swimmers and forces you to have to pass everyone. The ideal scenario for all participants is to have people submit accurate times - the whole swim flows better.

Note - You should not submit your "all-out effort" time. The time that should be submitted your the 100-yard "pace" that you can maintain for the entire swim.
