Spirit of Morgantown Maps
Shows map of bike, swim, transitions and run. There is a hill in the run. It is on Grant st, I think. Most of the run is on the rails to trails but it veers into town and going up Grant St is steep. Actually the roads in town are a little up and down, but with the rail trail overall should be pretty flat.
Bike has the profile shown. Two nice hills, but mostly steady, not awfully steep.
Swim is your typical rectangular buoy swim. They stop the water between the locks, so it is more like swimming in a lake than a river.

I screwed that up. The hill is near Willey street on University ave. I didn't see it was counterclockwise even though I knew that down on the rail trail. The good news is Grant St is a nice down hill run.
I will try to run and bike both before the race to let you know.
Packet pickup is 12-8 on Saturday at the fancy hotel near the race start.
It also says Mandatory Bike Check in at transition at this time.
Does that mean we leave the bike there or they just give it a check. (bar end plugs in place and such)?
I seem to remember Craig saying transition was inside a large building of some sort and they lock it overnight? What's the scoop here Craig?
You do check your bike into the transition area the night before. It is guarded non-stop by local policemen. It is the bottom floor of a parking garage that is given limited access.
I do not believe they have had any problems with items in this area. It is restricted to only athletes. Yes the check in is at the Fancy hotel. That is where the vendors are set up also.
We take the kids riding a lot down there. So, I think I have a parking plan that will allow us to get in easy and get out without much hassle.
