KAYAK: Kayaks stage on the sand along the concrete wall near the start banner. After swimmers start, kayak participants can move kayaks to the water edge. V-shaped swim course starting on the park's sand beach. Paddle out to the furtherst buoy (400m), then a 180 degree left turn back to the start. Make another 180 left at the start buoy. Then paddle to the furthest buoy and make a 90 degree left, paddling to the grassy shoreline of Orchard Shores picnic area. Water is almost always calm and relatively clean, but there is some algae and seaweed approaching the finish line. Pull kayak up on dry land and run up the hill (grass & sidewalk) to Transition Area (TA) MOUNTAIN BIKE: Ride 1/2 mile in the grass shoulder on the south side of the roadway to the trailhead, begin two laps each 7 miles long. The course has no long hills, and only two or three steep places where a beginner might need to push the bike. Most of the course flows along nicely. After second lap, return to TA via the same south side of roadway grass shoulder. TRAIL RUN: Run northeastward along trail 1, passing the Nature Center. Shortly after one mile, stay right to enter the lollipop loop part of the course. There are two notable hills named Steamboat Hill (which has steps going up), and Vargo Hill, just after the aid station. At about mile 3, a right turn puts runners back on the outbound trail for two-way traffic. Finish under the DINO archway.
