The event will be held on Sunday, March 12, 2006 and promises to be the indoor event of the winter season. Waves of twelve participants will start every 20 minutes in Korum's luxurious indoor 82 degree pool. There will be two participants per lane. Athletes will then have twenty minutes to change and accumulate as much mileage as they can on their bikes, which will be hooked up to Elite Wireless Fluid Primo ElastoGel Trainers. Included in The Korum Y's state-of-the-art facility is a beautiful indoor track. the track is 1/6th of a mile so 6 laps = 1 mile.
