Description

The Asheville Triathlon is event number 10 in the TrySports Triathlon Development Series. This is the only event in the series where the swim takes place in a 50 meter pool. at Rec Park Pool in Asheville. This is convenient to athletes since swimmers do not have to go up and back in the same lane. Instead they swtich lanes each lap until they reach 400 meters.

The 11.6 mile bike is classified as rolling and offers some great mountain scenery along the way as it winds its way into the countryside. The 5K run portion is considered to be fairly flat, especially for the mountains. It is a classic out and back style course so you can keep a close eye on your nearest competition.

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 300 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 400 meter distance.

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.

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 Friday, July 9th.
After July 9th, 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.
