REVIEW & STRATEGYCOURSE


RACE

THE SWIM


The swim will be a rolling start. Athletes will enter the water in a continuous stream through a controlled access point, similar to how running road races are started. An athlete’s times will start when they cross timing mats under the swim arch. Athletes will be directed to self-seed on race morning based on their projected swim time.

Wetsuits may be worn in water temperatures up to and including 76.1 degrees Fahrenheit (24.5 degrees Celsius). Athletes who choose to wear a wetsuit in water temperatures between 76.2 degrees Fahrenheit (24.55 degrees Celsius) and 83.8 degrees Fahrenheit (28.8 degrees Celsius) will not be eligible for Age Group awards, including IRONMAN World Championship slots or Rolldown slots. If the water temperature is in this range and you choose to wear a wetsuit, you will start after the nonwetsuit swimmers. Athletes electing to start at this time will still have 2 hours and 20 minutes to complete the swim course. All other course cut-off timelines will remain in place.

THEBIKE


Athletes will start their 112 mile journey by navigating part of The Woodlands, then enter into Northern Harris County. Once in Harris County, athletes will navigate two loops on the Hardy Toll Road. The majority of the course is closed to traffic and should make for a fast, flat course due to the minimal elevation.

THE RUN


Swim steady, Ride smart, Eat and drink like clockwork, Pace your run evenly. Do these things and chances are you will have a fantastic day!
