Bicycle Technical Support

Swim Start Info
You will be asked to rate your swimming ability on a scale of 1-10, based on the [SWIM ABILITY CHART] at packet pick-up on race weekend. This swim ability data will determine the official starting ORDER for race day participants. On race morning there will be a single line for the start in the pool. The fastest swimmers will start first. Please reference the pool diagram in your course map packet.

Note: Each of you selected your swim ability during the online registration process as well, but since we recognize that many of you would like to perhaps change your rating, we are offering this service to make sure that you feel 100% comfortable with where you start on race morning.
By eliminating the previous requirement of having participants enter (and then later edit) their predicted 100 yard swim time in order to create a swim start time assignment, this will dramatically reduce confusion and potential anxiety. We hope you will find this to be a positive change.

Attention Spectators
[Download Spectator Guide]
Spectators will be able to view the swim from the grandstands. Please enter/exit via the dedicated door by the side of the building near the parking lot. Do NOT enter/exit via the lobby. Thank you for your cooperation!

T-Shirts
Every participant will receive a t-shirt. Shirts are ordered based on the size you selected during registration.  
NO SWITCHING SIZES!

Finish Line Photographs
Image Magic will be taking a commemorative photo of you and family/friends/supporters just moments after you cross the finish line. These photos will be available for purchase.


ChampionChip Timing
All participants will pick up their ChampionChip timing chips on race morning. Look for the blue tent, which will be located near the transition area. You must have your run number with you in order to pick up your timing chip. Chip straps will be provided.
