Run 2.8 miles,
Swim 500m across Lake Volta
Bike 16.5 miles
1800' of elevation gain
Simon - "We'll run to this point right over here."Dylan - "Hmm...okay. I've seen worse."
David - "Looks kinda steep."
Brian - "I can't even see the water from where I'm standing."
Simon - "Look just beyond the weeds."
Simon - "Perhaps we can just hack through the weeds and throw a rope down the slope. No problem."
Simon - "At this point, you'll enter the Volta River and swim 500m to the other side. We'll give this guy a few cedis to pluck any stragglers from the water.
Brian -"What was that about bilharzia?'
Simon - "Anyone not swimming can add another mile to the run by going over the bridge to the bike segment."
