Transition/Course Impt Info


Notes about transition and course:

  1. There are lots of people in transition -- do not bring too much stuff! Bring what you need as outlined in the athlete guide. Bags should not take up space, we need the space for the bikes and essentials
  2. Bike racks fit 5-6 athletes per rack, do not spread out so much that there are only 3-4 bikes that fit -- limit your space please for all competitors
  3. We are not responsible for lost or stolen items. Leave what you can in the car. Pro tip: take a picture of your ID and leave your phone in a small bag with your essentials under your bike
  4. Youth athletes: do not throw your bike down, carefully hang it back up or lay it down where you got it
  5. The pool area will close once that last athletes are done with the swim -- do not leave items in the pool area or you will not be able ot get them until the pool opens hours later
  6. Show up early to the event, parking is a few blocks away and you need to time to check in if you didn't Friday,, body mark, and get your bike and essentials set up before making your way to the pool -- give yourself enough time to do all of this so you don't have to rush
