Other notes: 
If you are concerned that you cannot finish the swim, PLEASE DO NOT enter the water.  A relay would be best for your participation.  You can run or bike.  If you must wear a life jacket or tow a flotation devise you must line up at the back of the pack away from the other swimmers.  You will also not qualify for awards when using assistive swim devices.  
E-bikes will NOT be allowed. Any participant with an electric assisted bike will be disqualified. 
No outside assistance.

VERY IMPORTANT!  All chips MUST be returned.   All non-returned chips will be billed at a rate of $30.00 per chip.  Volunteers will be there to remind the participants.
