What to wear: Most athletes wear a swimsuit then just throw on either their bike shorts or running shorts for each of the event. Bring a large towel if you wish to change. No public nudity please.

Bike Inspections: Bikes will be checked to see that wheel levers are secure when you arrive in the morning.

Bike Racks in Transition Zone: We have specially designed bike racks that hold your bike and leave room for you to have your running and swimming gear along side. Please make sure that you leave enough room for six bikes per rack. We also recommend a small pail with water in it to get the sand off your feet after the swim. And it is great for dumping over your friend’s head for passing you near the finish line.

Mountain or Road Bike: It does not matter, road bikes are faster but mountain bikes let you check out the scenery a bit better. It is also fun passing a road bike while on your mountain bike. Helmets are mandatory!
