Will there be prizes?
How could it be a Mini-Triathlon without raffle prizes? We will be awarding prizes to the top 3 male and female times and some random raffle winners each week. Awards will start between 8:00-8:30pm.
Swim
The swim starts on the beach directly next to the public tennis courts in Lake Placid. The swim is an out and back on the right shoulder of Mirror Lake. There will be a big orange buoy to indicate the turn around point for the swim. If the buoy is missing, the turn around point is a red hydrant along the shore.
Bike
When leaving the transition area, turn left on Mirror Lake Drive and follow Mirror Lake's shore for 1 mile before turning right onto Northwood Drive. Please take cation and follow rules of the road with the current construction on Mirror Lake Drive (this is not the world championships!)

Continue on Route 86 to the first road on the right, River Road. Follow River Road until you reach Route 73 and see the ski jumps directly in front of you. Take a right at the intersection of River Road and Route 73 and begin your climb back into town.
