COURSE DESCRIPTIONS
SUPERFROG COURSE
This course is not a course for the faint of heart. The swim course is an open ocean water swim in the brisk April waters. There will be multiple wave starts that will be set 5-10 minutes apart.
The wave start times that will be posted are APPROXIMATE times. Wave
starts may be early or delayed. Please make sure to be at the swim
start at least 20 minutes prior to your approximate wave start time.
The water temperature will be approximately 60 degrees. Wetsuits are
recommended. Next, the bike course will be a flat and fast 56 mile bike course.
The course
will be four loops on Highway 75. Safety certified helmets are required
for the bike portion of the race. You will NOT be allowed to race
without a helmet. And lastly, the run course is a 13.1 mile course on soft sand, hard sand, and hard
pavement.
The run will be composed of two 6.6 mile loops .
Water will be available at all aid stations (2 per loop).
For the run course and the bike course, make sure to complete all loops for the course. Those who fail to complete four bike loops and four run loops will be disqualified.SUPERSEAL COURSE
Just like the evolution of Frogmen into SEALS, the SUPERSEAL has evolved into an International distance course that will take all you can give and ask for more. The swim is a 1,500 meter swim in the Silver Strand State Beach Bay. The swim will be a calm bay swim. The bike will be a flat and fast 40K bike course.
The course will be two loops on
