WHAT TO DO ON RACE MORNING
PRE RACE CHECKLIST
□ Arrive early (Registration opens at 6:30am).
□ Collect your Race Kit from the registration tent.
- This includes: Kondak T-shirt, Timing band, Number bib & pins, bike & helmet
stickers, and swim cap.
- Each swim start has its own cap colour. Do not swap with others.
- Every competitor will have their race number written on their right arm when
they collect their registration kit.
□ Event t-shirts
All women's t-shirts sizes have been increased by one size due to smaller
than usual sizes. Men's are as ordered.
□ Number bibs
- These are to be worn on the front of your body for the cycle and run legs.
- You can attach the number bib using the pins supplied, alternatively you
could attach it to a race belt (not supplied) which you slip on after the swim.
- The race bibs are to identify you for the race announcer & for spot prizes.
- They are also for marshals to assist you coming in to transition as there are
different bike entry and exit points depending on your category.
- Competitors wearing bathers or tri suits who don't want to pin their race bibs
on may choose not to wear the race bib.
- It is every athletes responsibility to know the course and where to exit and
enter with your bike. This is outlined in the transition maps below.
□ Timing Band - Securely attach to either ankle.
- Once you put it on do not take it off to change ankles as they will not re-stick.
- The timing bands are disposable & don't need to be returned.
- Teams receive one timing band per team member (3 in total) - they are not
number specific and can be worn by any of the team members.
□ Attach race number stickers to helmet (Right hand side)
- Bike security number sticker to your handle bars or head stem.
- This is your security pass when entering and exiting the transition area with
your bike. This sticker will match your race bib and number on your arm.
□ Bike Rack (Transition) -
- You will need to show your race number to gain entry.
- Bike racks are allocated per age category not per person.
- Most age categories have multiple racks to choose from.
- Racks will have age category signs & also maps up on notice boards to assist.
- You can choose any spot along the rack according to your age category.
- Do not rack your bike elsewhere as this will affect the flow of traffic.
- Rack your bike in between the tape markings on the racks.
- Bikes should alternate either side of the rack so there is never two bikes
right beside each other.
- Leave your race equipment on the chain ring side of the bike (towel, helmet,
shoes, race top, drink).
□ Bag Compound
The rotunda will be fenced off and managed by volunteers for any bags. You will receive a bag tag with your race bib which you will remove and attach to your bag. Whilst the bag compound is secure we strongly recommend that no valuables are left in this area and you name all your belongings. (We take no responsibility for lost property). Your race number will need to be shown to collect your bag.
□ Attend the Pre-Race Briefing (8:00am - 8:10am)
This year the pre race briefing will be done from the Presentation stage near the finish line. Allow 10 mins to walk to the start after the briefing

- The first swim wave is at 8:30am, each wave is 2 mins apart
- Some age categories have 2 separate waves - the label on your
registration envelope and swim cap colour indicates what wave you are in.
Make sure you know what time you begin!
□ Swim start requirements
- Before the start of your wave you will be asked, over a megaphone, to pass
through a timing mat on the sand near the shoreline.
- You will then have under 2 minutes to make your way to the swim start which
is in knee to waist deep water about 30m from the shore.
