Description
Held in the heart of the Courthouse, the Goochland Triathlon is a great mid-season race in Central Virginia. Conveniently located 20 minutes west of Richmond and 40 minutes east of Charlottesville, this event features a 300 yard, outdoor pool swim followed by a fast 12.5 mile bike course circling the Courthouse district. The highlight of this two-loop course will be the 1.25 mile "drag strip" through the Courthouse. An equally scenic and **NEW**, two-loop 5K run will follow. This event is a great introduction to the sport of triathlon for our first-time triathletes and a true test of fitness for our seasoned competitors. A pancake breakfast will be provided for all competitors upon their completion of the event.

Event Site Rules
The last day to change your swim time is Friday, July 26th. 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.
Timing System
This event will be timed using the ChampionChip Timing System. (5 splits provided)
You must turn in your timing chip at the conclusion of your race or you will be billed for the replacement!
