Transition Area
Map of Transition Area  
This is the epicenter of the race. The transition area is on the grassy knoll in front of Otis’s Grill deck. Bike racks are not numbered so take your pick of a spot. Only racers are allowed in the transition area and items can be retrieved after the races are over. The food tent and medical are just outside the transition area.

Water Stations 
Bike Course: There is a water station right after transition, but it will be very difficult to access since it is when you are trying to get on your bike. As is common in triathlons, make sure to bring your own water bottle for the bike course. You will get a water bottle with your race packet.

Run Courses (number of stations): 
Super Sprint (1): The only water station is right after transition. 
Sprint (3): The 1st water station is right after transition. The 2nd and 3rd are across from the boat landing which you’ll encounter on your way out and back. 
Olympic (6): The 1st water station is right after transition. The 2nd and 3rd are across from the boat landing which you’ll encounter on your way out and back. The 4th and 5th are at the transition from pavement to gravel which you’ll encounter on your way out and back. The 6th station is at the turnaround point.
