Athletes may not dismount their paddle board without a cue.  Paddlers MUST start and finish from dock with the assistance of a volunteer. No Exceptions.  Paddle boards will be provided.  You may NOT bring your own paddle board, but you MAY bring your own paddle if you wish.   

Bike:  Provided it does not rain, bikes will be set up outside of New Trail Cycling Studio on the plaza.  Athletes will complete 7 bike miles as fast as possible.  Max completion time is 35 minutes.  Please wear tennis shoes or bring your own bike shoes:  spd or look bike brand which are compatible with New Trail Cycling's pedals.   If you wear tennis shoes, shoe cages for the bike are provided.
