Timing Chips

Please check that your timing chip and race number in your race pack are correct (note that these numbers may be different). You will be issued a new timing chip on Sunday for the relay, so please return your chip after the Finals on Saturday. A fee will be charged for any unreturned timing chips. Timing chips must be worn on your left ankle.

Registration

Registration will open from 6:30am on Saturday and 7:00am on Sunday. At registration, your name will be checked off, your race number confirmed, and you will be issued with your timing chip and race numbers.

Transition

Transition will open when registration begins and will close before the race briefing. After the heats, there will be an allocated time to reset your transition area. Please remember to bring your transition billycan or box. There is a 400m run between the swim and bike transition, so bringing a second pair of running shoes is recommended.

Race Tattoos

You will be provided with a race tattoo to wear on your left upper arm. Paper towels will be available to assist with application. Remove the clear cover from the tattoo, place it ink side down on clean skin, and place a wet paper towel over the tattoo until the paper is completely wet. Leave the towel on for at least 30 seconds before removing it along with the backing paper. Tattoos may be left on for Sunday’s race; however, a new tattoo will also be provided on Sunday morning.

Race Number Stickers

Race number stickers will be included in your pack. These must be placed around your seat post with the number facing out the back of the bike, and on your helmet before entering transition. Pump and bag drop number stickers are optional. You must have your helmet number applied to enter transition and collect your bike.

Race Briefing

The race briefing is a compulsory part of race day and must be attended by all athletes. It will be held 15 minutes before race start.

Swim Cap

You will receive a swim cap to wear during the swim leg of the triathlon. Please bring your swim cap back on Sunday for the relay race.

Preparation

Coaches/Managers should ensure athletes are suitably warmed up and prepared prior to the beginning of their race. Athletes are encouraged to ensure sufficient fluid intake prior to their races and are required to wear full Academy uniform.
