F.A.Q.
Frequently asked questions
Question #1: The swim is in a pool? How does that work?
Participants will get in a lane that accommodates their swim times..faster swimmers go into the deeper lanes and slower swimmer will go into the more shallow lanes.
There are 10 lanes in the pool, so participants will have to share lanes and do something that we call circle swimming. See diagram below:
During circle swim, participants will always stay to their right. If you choose to pass someone, please do it at the turns to prevent collisions.
Question #2: What is the pool temperature?
It is a therapeutic pool, so the temps range from 77º - 81º
Questions #3: What is the typical weather situation in September?
Welcome to Sonoma County! Morning temps range from 48º - 60º when participants arrive (around 7:30am) and will warm up to about 80º by the race finish (around 10:30am - 11am). It is important to know that you may need a jacket on the bike portion of the race if you are doing the triathlon because its no fun to be wet and cold.
