June 13: Old School Aquathon #2 - Vista Point on Jordan Lake
Swim: 3 x 300 meters = 900 meters total. Each swim loop will be triangular.
Run:
3 x 1 mile = 3 mile total.
This race will test your ability to transition well and maintain good pacing. We'll start with a 300 meter swim, then send you on a quick out and back 1 mile loop. You'll complete the circuit
3 times for a total of 900 meters swimming and 3 miles running. In other words, the exact format is 300m swim - 1mile run - 300m swim - 1 mile run - 300m swim - 1 mile run.
Vista Point is a great place to run a race like this and we're looking forward to watching you race it!
