05/04 – Tri the Rock – Rock Hill, SC
Race Description
The Swim.
The large pool at the Rock Hill Aquatic Center will allow for a dual start, so make sure you line up on the correct end of the pool. As soon as you finish the swim, with your fans watching you in the 500-seat grandstands, you’ll make a quick run to the Transition Area right outside the pool area.
The Bike.
This is the only out-and-back bike course, which means you’ll be able to draw lots of energy from your fellow participants. The course is flat and fast and takes place on quiet local country roads.
The Run.
Upon exiting the Transition Area for the third and final leg of your race, you’ll do and out-and-back on the newly-constructed sidewalk that parallels Rawlinson Road. An aid station will be set up at the turn around point to give you one last boost of energy so that you can bring it home strong!
The Finish.
This is it! Now it’s time to celebrate as you cross the line right next to the lobby entrance of the Aquatic Center. The sponsor village and spectators will see it all from the adjoining hillside and you can bet that the party will be in full swing!
