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. The juniors will start
on the same course as the age groupers but will turn off early for a total of 400m. |

| Bike: New for 2011, Rockwwod By The Bay is pleased to debut a new bike course! Out of transition, the cyclists will turn left and enjoy a lightning fast descent on Crown Street and continue up to the intersection of Union Street where they will turn left and spin across the causeway. At the east end of the causeway, riders will turn right onto Bayside and head out along the picturesque Fundy coastline. Be ready for some technical turns and short sharp hills as you head out towards the turn at 10 km. The juniors will turn at 7.5 km. All participants get the opportunity to backtrack and size up the competition on this out-and-back route. Enjoy the beauty of the ocean vistas and varying terrain on the bike, but prepare yourself for the long climb back to transition. |

| Run: The juniors will run the same course as the age groupers except for the out-and-back portion along the beach. Keep an eye out for the water stop about 2 km into the run as this is where the age groupers bear LEFT along the beach while the juniors will bear RIGHT along the run course. |
