You must return the timing chip immediately after crossing the finish line, prior to exiting the finish line chute.
Only competitors wearing the chip attached to their ankle will have split times and final times recorded.
If you compete but do not finish the race, PLEASE return your chip to the timing officials at the finish line. 

TRANSITION AREA: All competitors must be out of the transition area BEFORE the start of the first wave of swimmers!

Please request family members and friends not to accompany you in the transition area. Bicycles must be placed on assigned bike racks. Bikes placed on wrong racks will be removed from the race.
NO cycling in or out of the transition area.

If you are, you will be assessed a TWO minute penalty for each violation. Riding alongside another biker will also result in a 2 minute penalty.

Pack Riding/Drafting is a Serious Violation of the Rules of the Pawling Triathlon!  You can file an official complaint regarding "drafters" by noting their race number(s)! A competitor who has three "drafting reports" filed against him/her will automatically receive a two minute penalty for each infraction.

HELMETS: A bicycling helmet must be positively secured with chin strap before leaving the transition area and it must remain buckled/secured until you dismount your bike. Riding without a helmet will result in immediate disqualification! Helmets must be ANSI, USCF or SNELL approved.
