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.
No drafting.
