( SEEDED SWIM TIME TRIAL START )

Each participant must provide the time they expect to finish the 400m swim. The start order will be assigned according to the seed times, fastest seed going first. The start order is also subject to the judgement of the Race Committee and may be based on past performance. The order will be posted at packet pick-up. Timing officials will start swimmers every 5 to 10 seconds, or as needed to maintain good spacing.

20k Bike Course

The bike course has two turn around points for a double pronged out-and-back route. It starts at the transition area, initially heading south, to turn west onto Bullock Ave. The route enters the NM Tech campus, continues on Olive Ln., turns west onto Canyon Drive, and then north on East Road, goes past the EMRTC building and continues north on East Road to the first turnaround point (before the I-25 underpass). The course returns to the EMRTC building and turns west on Bravo Road, heading uphill toward M Mountain. The course then turns south to the next turn around. Bicyclists will head back toward the transition area on a mostly downhill return. The route returns to head east on Bravo Road, east on Canyon Road, northeast on Olive Lane, and east on Bullock Ave. to the transition area.

5k Run Course

The run is a mostly flat 5k with 1 turnaround. Starting at the transition area, the course proceeds north on El Camino Real, turning left onto Newberry, where runners head west to the turnaround. On the return, turn left onto the ditch bank to run on packed dirt, then turn south, back to race transition on El Camino Real.
