mini version of the long course. The unique area provides
a perfect backdrop for the full out sprint. Each year this
race includes "sprint specialists" and dozens of
first timers. The calm ocean swim, relatively flat bike and
completely flat run make for a perfect PR or introduction
to the sport of triathlon. |

yard Swim: Quick
and easy, the ocean swim parallels the beach. The average
water temperature is 64 degrees. Wetsuits are optional
but getting them off may negate any time advantages of
wearing one. |

Mile Bike
Obey all traffic laws – this
is an open course. It's very fast,
no hills (well, just one in front of the Four Seasons Biltmore).
This out and back course goes so quickly there’s no time
for water. |

Mile Run: One mile out, one mile
back – it's that simple. You can get water at mile
one if you dare to slow down. |
