Sunday Aquathlon Course

Swim Strava link
​Run Strava Link

Nice easy 1km swim to get you acclimated with the water conditions on Saturday.

​Follow that up with a nice 3mi run on the trails around the boathouse!

swim Course

Strava Link

Swim course runs clockwise starting at the ramp. More details and better map to come!

bike Course

GPS link

The bike course will start from the trailhead on the NE side of the trail area. 

Bike course is marked in Red on the image to the right. The only portion not included is the short distance along the paved section leading from transition to the trails.

run course

Here's the run course map. Points of interest: Along the 1st south stretch you'll find some narrow spots with a steep drop off. Pay attention. Also some concrete slabs that have fallen into disrepair. NBD. As you get to the south of the cove, you're in 'bottom land' It may or may not be muddy. There probably won't be any snakes after the first runner.

Run about half way back north and the hook a U-turn to start heading back uphill. Nothing eventful until you get to the end of Roller Coaster.

*THIS IS IMPORTANT**
​There is a large wooden feature that wants to kill you. Even though it it overgrown, take the bypass on the right. Splinters in your butt? Broken arm? Trying to run or slide it isn't going to end well. A couple more trips through the bottom of the ravine and you're at mile two. There will be an unmanned water station about 2.10. Once you're on the fire road, most of the hard stuff is over. This is where you leave it all on the field.

DIRECTIONS TO EVENT 

South Dam: located 16 miles east of I35 on HWY 9 out of Norman.
