Once you have racked your bike in the transition area, your race is complete. Take your time and cool down then you can drop off your timing chip to us at the finish line and get a cold bottle of water to rehydrate and a medal to celebrate!
The RELAY option is an excellent way to get involved in the sport without having to do it all! Gather one or two friends or family members and create a team! Each athlete takes one or two of the disciplines and it is a whole lot of FUN! (see course description for triathlon). Each athlete is entitled to all the perks of the individual triathlete (race kit, food, water, Technical Tee etc.) Relay teams have their own area in transition and each bike rack is labeled specifically for that. It also should be noted that the TEAM shares ONE timing chip. The timing chip acts as the exchange baton like you would see at a relay running race. The swimmer begins the race with the chip on their ankle. The biker waits in transition and once the swimmer returns from the swim, the chip will be exchanged. In order to help the teams stay organized and out of the path of all the other athletes in transition, we ask relay members stay by your designated rack area where the chip exchange will happen. The same will happen for the run portion and once the runner crosses the finish line you can all meet there to celebrate your victory!
NOTE: Please have the whole team available at the same time for race kit pick up. All athletes must pick up their kits together and be present to sign their waivers.
