Read
the information on this web site in its entirety. Be sure to
focus on the:
• List of things to bring to the event
• Safety information
-
Attend
a course talk on race morning at 6:45am. For relay teams, the whole
team must attend.
-
Get
body marked on race morning. Arrive early!
-
Arrive
at the transition area early! That means at 5:00am. If you get there
late, you may be shutout and prevented from racing. Allow lots of time for parking, traffic, getting to the site
and the check-in procedures.
-
Remember
to bring along (2) water bottles already filled for the bike.
Bring water to drink on the way to the race and before the race.
-
The
transition area closes at 6:45am and reopens when the last participant heads out on the run (approximately
9:30am). Do not leave anything in transition that you'll need after you
finish the race. For reasons of safety & fairness, we will
be enforcing this rule strictly. If you need to, adjust your travel, work or
social plans around these times before you get to race day. All gear
must be removed from transition by 11:30am.

Take
every opportunity to hydrate. Do not rely on thirst to tell you
when to drink. Hydrate at every opportunity. Do not toss empty
water bottles on the course.
-
If
you get into trouble in the swim, roll onto your back and raise
your arm in the air. You may hang on a guard boat for a brief
rest and then continue the swim if you are able.
-
If
you experience mechanical difficulties during the bike, move
over to the shoulder and make the needed repairs. If you are
unable to continue on your bike, you may wait for a course vehicle
to pick you up, or run your bike in, staying out of the cycling
lanes.
-
Keep
to the right at all times on the bike course unless in the immediate
act of passing. Use your voice to call out to people that you
are passing. Always pass on the left and then move immediately
back to the right, making sure you are clear of the athlete you
have passed and any athlete immediately in front of you.
