The official 2km OWSHK time trial
All right, let's be fair, if you swim straight that's a 1.9km swim but we race it every year and it gives everyone a good benchmark of where they stand as the season is starting.
Navigation is a key thing in this race and the 1 minute multiple waves start format makes it super fun for everyone.
The route :
- from green pagoda pontoon aim for the 1st yellow canister (300m)
- Left turn to the second canister (150 meters away)
- Pass the canister 2 and aim for the left canister 3 on Middle-bay beach (400 meters away)
(you can aim for the middle of the beach - DO NOT aim for the white house on the cliff or you will reach Yellow canister 4 and would have to swim back)
- Pass the canister 3 and aim for canister 4 (only 50 meters away).
- Aim for the Green Pagoda and back to Canister 2
- Left turn and aim for canister 1
- Swim straight back to the beach, jumping over the safety net (be careful with the plastic tights, they can be sharp)
