Thank you to our friends over at Crossing Currents Aquatics for putting together this amazing infographic
Pay attention to the 100 yard times. These will help you to judge where to seed yourself for the swim start this year!
For the 1 Mile swim....
All buoys remain on your RIGHT hand side. Clockwise swim
Leg 1 of the swim -750 yards
Leg 2 of the swim - 440 yards
Leg 3 of the swim - 580 yards
4.4 Mile Swim (approximate locations of Mile locations)
From the Beach to the Bridge - @430 yards
Right after the curve in the bridge - 1 Mile Mark
After the first set of overhead rails on Eastbound Bridge - Mile 2
Right around the Start of the second set of overhead rails on Eastbound Bridge
Right after you cross from under the Bridge (Almost Done!!!) - Mile 4
The last stretch is ROUGHLY 700 yards to the finish, and you will find it gets shallow as you get near closer to the end.
