Start mechanism: Horn

Swim Conditions: 1.5km ocean swim. Depending on weather conditions you will contend with chop, surf and currents but generally Mooloolaba beach is calm. The 1.5km course will be 2 x 750m laps, with a beach start; a 300m straight swim to the first turning can where you will turn right for 125m, right again heading 200m towards shore, right again for 125m, right again to start your second lap. It is a rectangle course; all right hand turns for the two laps, except for a left hand turn, when returning to shore. Depending on conditions the athlete may have to negotiate the surf on entry and exit.

Water Temp: Expected to be approximately 24 degrees

Cycle Course: 40KM, 8 laps straight out and back course. Leaving transition you immediately negotiate a round about which becomes one of the two turning points for the 8 lap course the other turn is just before the cross street of Maroubra on Alexandra Parade, a U - Turn. 700m from transition, athletes will ride over Alex Hill, the only hill on course, after descending; it is flat and fast, with a good hot mix surface to the turn around. The course follows the same route back over Alex Hill, back through transition, onto the next lap. The course follows the spectacular shore line of Mooloolaba and Alexandra Headland beaches; therefore the course is susceptible to winds. Predominately light winds prevail in March, with a slight head or cross wind heading out to the turn around and a tail wind back to transition.

Run Course: 10km, 4 laps straight out and back course the same as the cycle but the turn around point on Alexandra Parade is the cross Street of Mayfield Road. Again approx 700m you have Alex Hill to run up, once you hit the summit it is a downhill run onto the flats to the turn around point. Follow the same route back to the top of Alex Hill and straight down the Esplanade to the transition area or finish.
