SWIM (2.4 Miles):

The two-loop swim takes place in the Gulf of Mexico. Athletes will have a short beach run in between laps. The chop can be strong and tinted goggles are recommended to block out the rising sun.

BIKE (112 Miles):

The single-lap course is flat and fast. The highest point on the course is only 161 feet above sea level, and the winds tend to be light. Expect a fast bike-split, and be prepared to stay in your aerobars.

RUN (26.2 Miles):

This is one of the flattest runs on the Ironman circuit. Spectators fill the roads on the two-loop course, which parallels the shoreline through the local neighborhoods to the turnaround in Saint Andrews State Park. The sun sets early this time of year, so you may need to toss a long-sleeve shirt into your special needs bag.
