Swim: Westsyde pool
Super Sprint - 12 lengths of the 25m pool in single wide lanes using a continuous start format. Swimmers will swim up the right side of the lane and back down the other. Upon reaching the shallow end of the pool, swimmers will cross under the lane rope and repeat the process. Participants will continue this until they have zigzagged their way across the pool and reached the shallow end (12 lengths - 300m). Participants will then exit the pool and head to the transtion area. CHANGE TENTS AND WASHROOMS ARE NOT AVAILABLE.
Sprint - 24 lengths of the 25m pool in single wide lanes using a continuous start format. Swimmers will swim up the right side of the lane and back down the other. Upon reaching the shallow end of the pool, swimmers will cross under the lane rope and repeat the process. Participants will continue this until they have zigzagged their way across the pool and reached the shallow end (12 lengths - 300m). At this time, all participants will exit the pool, walk back to the start area and re-enter the pool and repeat the process again (another 12 lengths to total 600m).

Cycle - There are no aid stations on the bike course - make sure you have enough water on your bike
Exit pool at Bebek -New for 2010 - You will ride on the left hand side of the road while exiting (this avoids a bike crossover when you merge with circling bike traffic)
Cross Westsyde road and go east on Jensen ( on right hand side of road), turn right and head South along Bank which turns into Kyle, curl around on Kyle and then take a right on Westsyde road. One lane will be closed for bike route. Head North along Westsyde road to Jensen to complete the first loop. 2 loops for Super Sprint distance and 4 loops for Sprint distance. Turn left on to Bebek to enter transtion area. New for 2010 - You will enter pool on left hand side of road.
Please note - Logically, the bike portion should go North on Westsyde Road and than back South on Westsyde Road to Westsyde pool but we had positive comments with the looped course in 2009, so we are keeping the looped course. Auxillary police will be on hand to direct traffic.
Run - Aid station at each point of turn around
Super Sprint - exit pool at Bebek, (on left hand side of the road) cross Westsyde road and go east on Jensen ( on Left hand side of road) and cross Bank Road, turn left and head North along Bank.
