This is the City of Flagstaff Reservoir: Upper Lake Mary. Average lake temperature is 67-72° F. Wetsuits OK. Rolling time trial start. Long Course swim cutoff: 1 hour 10 minutes. Swim courses start at the North Dock (near transition), travel clockwise around triangle turn buoys, and finish at the North Dock (same) up into the transition area.
The Bike
Olympic is an out and back on Lake Mary Rd. One aid station for Olympic and 3 aid stations for Long Course. Long Course goes out Lake Mary Rd. then right on Mormon Lake Rd (Olympic continues straight), through the town of Mormon Lake, then turns right on Lake Mary Rd. Turnaround just before the Discovery Telescope near Happy Jack. Stay on Lake Mary Rd. all the way back into transition.
The Run
Out and back run on paved roads along beautiful Lake Mary. Courses climb a decent hill (~ 1 mile and 385′ climb) and are otherwise flat. Race numbers must be worn and visible from the front.
