The Swim:
Swim distance is 1.2 miles. You will swim in
refreshing Boerne City Lake. The course will be a
one loop route and will be well marked by buoys.
Kayaks and Lifeguards will be on the course to
assist you if needed. You will be allowed to wear
wetsuits for the swim provided the temperature is 78
degrees or below. The swim start will be on the boat
ramp next to the transition area.
The Bike:
After
completing the swim you will transition to the bike for a 56 mile
ride along rolling hills. You will be required to have your helmet
on before taking your bike off the rack and you must keep your
helmet on and fastened until you have re-racked for the run. Please
begin the bike portion with a full hydration system. There will be
four aid stations on the bike course with water, electrolyte drink,
and energy gels or bars. Mount and dismount your bike at the
designated line outside transition. There will be safety marshals on
course as well as SAG. You are responsible for the mechanics of
your bike. Be prepared to fix your own flats should one occur on
course. Police will be on hand to help with traffic control, but
remember you are ultimately responsible for your own safety. Follow
all traffic laws and remember this is an open course.
The Run:
After
you complete the bike portion you will transition to the 13.1 mile
run. The run course is two loops. There will be aid stations 1
to 1.5 miles apart throughout the course. There will be water,
electrolyte, and energy gels or bars available at each stop. You
will be required to have your race number visible from the front at
all times while on the run course. |

 You
will be issued a "Championchip" and a velco strap. Your net time will
be recorded with the computer chip that is wrapped around your ankle
with a velco strap. Chip issue is the morning of the race at the
entrance to the transition area. You must wear the chip to be timed and
scored. The chips will be retrieved in the chutes just past the finish
line after the race. If you do not start the race or you drop out, we
ask you to return the chip to the tent located at the finish line.
Athletes will be charged $35 for chips not returned at the end of the
race. |
