After the run, you will either get on your bike or touch the next member of your team at the relay station.  The 10 mile, slightly hilly, bike ride takes you southeast of Belmond on a blacktop road and loops you back to the pool.

There, you will either enter the pool, or touch the next member of your team at the relay station.  The swim consists of 4 lengths of the pool, approximately 150 meters.  There will be 2 ropes strung to each board to make 4 lanes.
