RACKING YOUR BIKE

You will have an assigned spot for you to rack your bike. Bike racks are numbered and correspond with your race number. Rack your bike where your number is. 

If possible, rack your bike by placing the nose of your seat on the bike rack so your front tire is sticking out. Please remember, your neighbor needs room too, so please only bring what is needed into the transition area. Place your gear to the left of your bike. 

Remember, there is no bike riding inside the transition area before or during the event. Walk your bike in and out of transition.  Doing so will result in a time penalty enforced by the USA Triathlon officials.

 ALSO please help us by letting your family and friends know that they must wait outside the transition area. Thanks for helping us with this!
