Further Information
Registration
The registration tent will open from 06:30am. The time you register will depend on the time of your wave – you must arrive at least one hour before your wave time and please bring ID. Only one relay team member needs to register on behalf of the team.
The registration tent will be located next to the car park, so you will pass through registration to enter the event site. Upon arrival you will need to find your race number from the lists on display and then pick up your race pack from the registration tables.
The race pack contains:
- Swimming cap
- Race number for the cycle and run – must be attached to your back for the cycle and front for the run with the safety pins provided and clearly visible at all times. Race belts are also acceptable.
- Two adhesive race numbers for your bike – one for your helmet and one to be attached to the bike seat post or top tube. The race numbers we supply are waterproof and tear proof. Take care when you put your wetsuit on over the number. When you take your wetsuit off, your number should remain intact, provided you have pinned them securely in all four corners.
You will be issued with a security wristband at registration with your race number on it. Relay team members will receive one each. This wristband will give you access to the transition area.
You will also need to pick up a timing chip at registration. This should be fastened securely around the left ankle. There will be one chip per relay team and this will act as the baton. Please check the velcro on your chip attaches securely as if you lose your chip, there will be a charge to replace it.
Transition
For those taking part in the duathlon, the transition area is located next to the triathlon transition – see course map.
Please follow instructions of the Transition Managers on the day.
You must show your race number and security wristband to gain access to the transition area. Only competitors will be allowed in the transition area.
Your allocated position in transition will be where you will store everything you need for the race. You should set up your kit in the transition area prior to the race and it is important that you know the direction of flow through the area, where your bike is amongst hundreds of others and for many of you, where you will tag your relay team member. We suggest you physically run through transition so you know where to locate your bike at speed. For example a distinctive towel laid under your kit helps to identify the exact location. Please note that balloons, flags, etc are not allowed to mark your spot.
It is very easy for the transition area to become chaotic, especially with increased numbers during the relay waves. It is imperative that you are aware of your surroundings and other competitors and that the lanes are kept clear at all times. The transition zone is intended for the use of competitors to transition between legs, so please avoid social gatherings in this area.
