This is an open lake sea swim and a staggered start on the edge of the water. The planned swim course will be a clockwise triangle route and back to where you started. After completing the swim, you will exit the water and proceed to the transition area to get your SUP.
The course will be a straight out and back paddle to the furthest buoy. After completing the SUP leg, you will exit the water and proceed to the transition area where you will leave your SUP, change out of your wetsuit and into your footwear to start the run.
You will exit the transition area and continue the marked course around the lake. There will be marshals scattered around to offer their support and show you on your way, but essentially, you will follow the track around the lake. The finish line will be back where it all began.
