Olympic course

What Is Aquabike? It's as simple as it sounds — you swim, transition, and then finish with a bike leg. Just don't forget to rack your bike and run over the finish line! That said, this type of race isn't nearly as complex as your standard T2 in a triathlon, plus there's no running to contend with.
