Run
Because we are modifying the sequence to be swim bike run (previously has been run swim bike on day 1), we will be moving the run to the southside this year, closer to the airport.
For safety reasons, we’re staying off the highway and on the back country roads instead.
The route consists of a 2.6 mile out & back w/gradual descent/ascent x 5, plus an additional 0.2 miles at end
