- Bike
After the swim (or run from the pool for duathlon), the athlete will ride their bike around the course. The number of loops is determined by age.
ALL ATHLETES MUST WEAR THEIR HELMET the entire time they are on or moving the bike. This includes the transition area. Please also make sure shoe laces are not undone or loose. If a racer is not skilled at lace tying, consider wearing shoes without laces or purchasing “lock laces” to replace the laces.
Slap bracelets will be put on each athlete’s wrist for each lap COMPLETED. This will help keep track of the number of bike loops he/she has done. When an athlete comes back from riding on the bike course, the bike needs to be put back in the same spot where it was set up before the swim.
