Hosted at Pleasants Landing at Lake Anna, this race and venue are amazing. The swim takes place in the southeast portion of Lake Anna, about 1/4 mile from where the “hot side” of Lake Anna empties into the cold side, resulting in water temperatures that are 4-6 degrees warmer than the rest of the lake at this time of year. So, you can look forward to above-average water temperatures in mid-October. The last open water race of the regular season Olympic starts at 9 AM and the Sprint starts at 9:30 AM, so you can sleep in a little and make it a day at the lake with family and friends. The race site and finish line are surrounded by water and have a view of the Blue Ridge Mountains to the West; it’s a great place to spend the weekend outside. Be sure to register early as this end of season race is extremely popular.
