Description

Course Descriptions:
(for course maps - click on "Course Maps" button above)
Swim:
The swim is a 200 yard pool swim in the UNCW natatorium. Participants start at one side of the pool and snake their way up and down each lane as they work towards the other side of the pool. Being a pool swim race, participants must submit an estimated 100 yard swim time when registering. These times are used for seeding purposes. 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.
The swim start process involves all the Open & Masters Open participants going off first, followed by all the Age Groupers, Clydesdales, Masters Clydesdales, Athenas, and Relay Teams, followed by all the Novices and Masters Novices.
Bike:
The bike course is one 10 mile loop. The course is flat and takes place on the UNCW campus and also on the neighborhood roads that surround the UNCW campus. The roads are open to traffic - but traffic is usually fairly light.
Run:
The 2 Mile run course is an out & back affair - totally on the UNCW campus sidewalk system. The course is totally flat and moderately shaded.
Come out and make a weekend out of this fantastic event!

Swim Times:
All participants must submit a 100 yard swim time for seeding purposes.
Being a pool swim with a staggered start, participants are seeded from fastest to slowest.
It is in your best interest to submit an accurate 100 yard "pace" time for your 200 yard swim. In other words, don't submit your fastest 100 yard swim time, submit a 100 yard time that represents what you'll do on race day over the 200 yard distance.
Enter your pace 100 yard swim time (and not your total time for the swim portion).
By seeding yourself properly, you'll end up swimming near people who swim the same pace as you. This will reduce the number of people who you will need to pass or the number of people who will be passing you. Click HERE to learn how to submit and change swim times.
Pool Swim Etiquette:
It is appropriate for a swimmer to yield at the wall and wait to be passed if the person behind them is "on their feet" or "tickling their toes". These issues come about it seems from not properly determining an accurate 100 yard swim time. The lanes in the pool are large enough to pass slower participants on the left.
Changing Swim Times:
Our registration system allows for people to access their registrations and adjust their swim times prior to the race.
NOTE: All swim times must be adjusted no later than September 3rd.
After September 3rd, participants will no longer be able to make this adjustment on their registration (the system will lock out any changes)
Swim times will not be adjusted after that for any reason.

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.
Participant Meeting
A participant orientation meeting will be held at 6:00 PM on Saturday, September 18th at the race site (finish line location - big blue tent). We will cover as many details as possible about the race and questions will be encouraged. This meeting should last about 30 minutes - we encourage everyone to attend.
NOTE: There will be NO pre-race instructions given on race morning.
