General
Rules
Note: All International Triathlon Union (ITU) rules will
apply.
SWIM:
1. All swimmers must wear the
swim cap provided by the race.
2. The swim course will be closed 1 hour after the
start of the race. Participants still in the water after
this time will be disqualified and will not be permitted
to continue in the event.
3. We will notify on race day if wetsuits are permitted.
4.
Self-seed yourself in the water. Let the fast swimmer leave
before you. A wait of 30 seconds will assure you plenty
of room. What's 30 seconds when you're racing for 1 - 2hrs?
BIKE:
1. There is no warming up on
the bike before the race.
2. You may not ride your bike in the transition area.
3. There will be a repair station on the course. You
may not have any other help in repairing a mechanical problem
on your bike other than our official repair mechanics.
4.
If you need repairs to your bicycle during the race, you
can stop at the bike repair tent located just past the hair
pin turn, or you can ask one of the motorcycle outriders
to bring a bike mechanic to you on the course. AT NO TIME,
and for no reason, may your bike be transported by someone
else.
5. When you enter the bike course move gradually to
the inside of the Circuit. As you complete your 4th lap
and are preparing to exit the bike course, make sure you
are on the right side of the course, well in advance of
the exit so that you do not have to cross other cyclists.
