There will be a mandatory meeting for ALL race participants to cover event rules and course updates. This meeting will take place in the gym. Timing chips will only be available for pick-up at this meeting.
9:00 am - Adult Race Starts
All participants will start in the pool in 5 second intervals. Racers will be seeded for the swim according to their self-reported 100 meter swim time. Racers will be organized into "flights" and seated in the gymnasium until their flights are called to the pool. Flights will be led from the gym to the pool area one at a time. This is a new starting procedure that will minimize time spent standing on the pool deck prior to pool entry.
