Wetsuits will be permitted without penalty if water temperature is 78 degrees or colder. Wetsuits are not allowed if water temperature is greater than 84 degrees.  Competitors will be allowed to wear wetsuits if temperature is between 78 and 84 degrees, but those who do will not be eligible for awards.  The water temp historically has been between 74 to 77 degrees.

20 K Bike  -  (12.4 miles) is a mostly flat out and back course with a few rolling hills.  The route follows paved county roads B30 and P30.  All bikers must have an ANSI approved helmet to participate.  Bikers without helmets will not be allowed on the race course.  No drafting allowed.
