PRE-RACE ACTIVITIES

• Photo 01:  Rise and shine, sleepy head ... there's such a beautiful cityscape around you ...

• Photo 02:  Lauren Eckhart & David Smith

• Photo 03:  Shelley Farmer & Lauren Eckhart

NATATION

• Photo 04:  Much of this race involves loops.  This may be great for the spectators, but a bit boring for the competitors.  Even in the swim, you swim, you get out of the water, you run a few steps, you go around the landmark tree and you jump back into the water to swim again.  This is Shelley Farmer in the red about to go around that tree.
• Photo 05:  Finally, Shelley Farmer gets back on land into the bike phase.
• Photo 06:  Lauren Eckhart in the bike transition area
• Missing Photo:  The wild 'melee' at the start of swim ... that would have been quite a scene ...

VELO

• Photo 07:  As for the bike course, it is still go out one way, make a 180 degree turn and come back again, and again.  This is Shelley Farmer in red making the turn.
• Photo 08:  Lauren Eckhart making that turn too.

COURSE

• Photo 09:  The run involves running down one side of the street, making a turn and coming back down the other side.  According to Shelley Farmer, the only good part is that you get to look carefully at the face of the person that you want to chase down.
• Photo 10:  Lauren Eckhart running up and down too.
