Starts @ 7:15am.

Blue buoys will mark a course that starts from the UAS boat dock and ends at the Auke Lake boat ramp. The swim heads out towards the middle of the lake and gorgeous views of the Mendenhall Glacier. Right turns will be made at blue triangular buoys. After a left turn thorough a swim gate the course follows the shoreline to the public boat ramp. T1 starts at the boat ramp with a jog up to the transition area in the UAS parking lot.

Bike to the glacier and back. Depart the transition area, heading out Auke Lake Way towards Mendenhall Loop Road. Turn right and stay on Mendenhall Loop to Glacier Spur Rd. Turn left for a gorgeous ride towards the Mendenhall Glacier Visitor Center. There is a sharp looping turn at the end of Glacier Spur Road. Use caution. This has been our most common spot for wipe outs. Head back to Mendenhall Loop Rd for a right turn.
