The Inside Out Sports White Lake International Triathlon takes place on same course as the famed Spring White Lake Triathlon Events.
Course Descriptions:
Swim:
White Lake is one of the finest lakes you will ever have the pleasure to swim in - a perfect oval, two miles long and one mile across. The lake, which is fed by subterranean springs, is crystal clear with a sand bottom - about nine feet deep out in the very middle. Most mornings, White Lake is so perfectly flat; you would swear you were looking at a sheet of ice. This is an in-water start with participants lining up with the end of the two piers/docks at the NCFFA Center. The swim course is a triangular shaped course. Participants exit the water at the end of the easternmost pier/dock and run about 300 yards to the transition area. The water temperature at White Lake is usually very close to the USAT threshold temperature of 78 degrees. Check out the USA Triathlon wetsuit rules if you are not familiar with them - the rules can be found on the following link.
Bike:
The 45K bike course is a one loop design. It is a very fast, flat course. Absolutely the fastest International bike course in North Carolina. Part of this course is the same as the White Lake Half held in May.
Run:
The 10K run is an out & back course. The course is flat and fast.
The Inside Out Sports Dash for Divas Triathlon will be held the following day, Sunday, September 12, 2010. Look under Other Events for more information on this event.

Inside-Out Sports North Carolina Triathlon Series rules state that once you compete in a particular race category in an Inside-Out Sports North Carolina Triathlon Series race - you must remain in that same category for all future Inside-Out Sports North Carolina Triathlon Series races in that calendar year. The exception to this rule are the Novice and Masters Novice categories. You may begin the year as a Novice or Masters Novice and then switch into another category (ie: age group, clydesdale, etc.)
Below is a brief description of each race category:
Open - Category for Elite participants. These are typically the fastest people in the race and they compete on an Elite/Professional level.
Masters Open - Same as above, but these Elite participants are 40 and over.
Age Group - Participants competing in their age group.
Clydesdale - Category for male participants who are over 200 lbs.
Master Clydesdale - Category for male participants who are over 200 lbs. and are 40 or over.
Athena - Category for women over 150 lbs.
Novice - Category for beginner participants. Participants competing as a Novice have usually done less than 3 events.
Master Novice - Same as Novice but these participants are beginners who are 40 or over.
NOTE: You may fit into one or more of the above categories, so whichever category you choose to compete in is completely your choice. Choose the category that you feel you would have the most fun competing in.
USAT's "Age Up" Policy:
An athlete's age for any USAT sanctioned race will be his/her age as of Dec. 31, 2010 . The age he/she is on 12/31 will determine his/her racing age group. If an athlete is due to "age-up" into the next group, it will happen at the beginning of the year, not after the athlete's birthday. This action aligns regular U.S. age group racing with the method used by USA Triathlon for its National Rankings Program and its new Grand Prix Series.
Example: John Smith is 39 and will turn 40 on November 20, 2010.
John will be considered 40 for all 2010 races - and will race in the 40-44 age group at all 2010 races.
Sally Jones is 29 and will turn 30 on July 3, 2010.
Sally will be considered 30 for all 2010 races - and will race in the 30-34 age group at all 2010 races.
This same policy applies to the all race categories in Inside-Out Sports North Carolina Triathlon Series races (Open, Clydesdale, etc).
Example: Fred Peters is 39 and will turn 40 on August 15, 2010.
Fred has registered to race in the "Open" category.
Since Fred will turn 40 in 2010 and will be considered 40 in all 2010 races, Fred will automatically be switched into the "Masters Open" category.
