| Rockwood by the Bay Triathlon
Course Details
| | |
| Swim: As in previous years,
Lily Lake will be the site of the swim portion of the triathlon. Triathlon New
Brunswick owns and provides highly visibly buoys which will be placed in the lake
to create a rectangle the length of the body of water. This will be a spectator-friendly
event as the swimmers will pass along behind the newly re-constructed Lily Lake
Pavilion with it's large deck overlooking the water. Be there early to get a good
look at your favorite athletes! Sprint athletes will do one lap. |

| Bike: Leaving transition
at Rockwood, the cyclists will go right onto Sandy Point Road. From there they
will hang a right onto the Foster Thurston for a visit with the well known and
rather infamous "thigh buster" lane. They will follow Foster Thurston Drive to
the highway. From there it's a small highway ride and a gentle climb to the Crown
Street Exit and hang a right at the lights back to transition. This specific ride
course has been made famous in the past by its many challenging hills along the
route. Riders doing the Sprint race will ride this course twice. |
| |
| Run: As you exit transition,
the run course will be set up through Rockwood Park. Keep track of your heart
rate and how anaerobic you are running as there isn't much flat terrain to be
found inside the park boundaries: you're either climbing or descending…not much
opportunity for an easy flat cruise. Sprint distance competitors will do one lap
of the course. Duathletes will run one lap to begin the race and one lap after
the bike to finish the race. |
