3 Coronado District Youth Triathlon April 20-21, 2018 Frequently Asked Questions Are full BSA medical & physical forms needed to participate? We will not collect physicals from leaders, but in the event of injury, you need to have some form of consent to treat your youth. Are bicycle helmets required? Yes. Is body marking required? Yes, it will be done Friday night. Is check in Friday night required? Yes, we need to get all of our data verified and transferred to our timing and medical staff that night. Am I required to wear the white race shirt? Yes. Is it required to put my race number on my bike and helmet? Yes, to ensure that you don t get your gear mixed up with someone else s gear. How do the timing chips work? There are timing mats along the course and they read your chip and record the time as you pass and send it to the timing computer in the timing trailer. Do I need to turn in my timing chip after the race? No, timing chips are disposable and can be thrown away or kept by racer afterwards. Where are the timing mats? Before you jump in the water, as you leave the pool area, at the bike turnaround, at the north end of T2 (as you round the end of the fence) and at the finish line. If I miss a mat is my time recorded? Yes, but your time will not be used in official standing. Do I need to rack my bike in T2? Yes, we have included in your race packet a card to attach to your bike to help you/leaders ID your bike. I see that there are many gates open to T1 area, can I enter there? No the south gate to the office is the only gate we want racers entering. It messes with the flow of the race if you enter through the exit gates. I want to put my running gear at T2 can I? Yes, T2 is only 50 feet from T1 and you can put you gear anywhere along the T2 racks. Last year I lost some gear, how can I prevent this? Have your gear marked clearly and make a plan with your leaders on where you will put your gear. Can my leaders follow me into T1? Yes, but we ask that they stay out of the way of other racers and collect your gear and move out quickly. How many racers are you expecting this year? 1,800 Is there going to be a dance Friday night? Yes, it will start at 6:00 and end at 9:30. When does my time start and stop? It starts when you cross the timing mat as you enter the pool area and ends when you cross the finish line. Why do you have so many timing mats? We use the mats to check that every one has completed the course and you can also see how you did in one area and compare your time to others.

4 Coronado District Youth Triathlon April 20-21, 2018 Important Reminders (Please review with ALL racers in your group) Body marking is required for the race. Body marking will be done Friday night at check-in to speed up your morning start time. We have added a shirt exchange past body marking station for shirts that don't fit. Have all youth dress modest for the dance. All youth must follow our code of conduct for the dance. The dance is located in the parking lot of the church. The dance is over at 9:30 PM. No camp fires on the grounds at the campsite. Raised fire pits are permitted. All racers must have a bike helmet!!! No exceptions. Show up 5-10 minutes before your start time on Saturday. The race course is not closed. Have all racers race on the right side to allow local traffic to pass. We have racers of all ages. For the safety of all, please be aware of younger participants and be courteous and careful around ALL race participants. Bike to run transition is very congested; don't place your bike on the ground at the entrance of this area. Go all the way to the North East end and place your bike in the dirt area if you don't want to rack your bike. Leaders, please pick up your groups bikes ASAP to allow others to use the bike racks. Don t forget to pick up your towels, helmets or any other belongings after the race. Lost and found will be located at the race entrance. Please make sure all participants pick up their trash especially after eating in the recovery area after the race. This is a wonderful event that takes many volunteers to run. Please be kind and respectful to ALL volunteers. If any participant is reported as being rude or disrespectful to any volunteers or other participants, your race time could be eliminated!
