PLEASE NOTE: THAT ONLY ATHLETES ARE PERMITTED TO ATTEND THE BRIEFING. Racking All competitors will be required to rack their bike & helmet on Saturday 30 June, between 11:00 17:15, there will be no exceptions to this rule. Changing Facilities Unfortunately, there will be no change or shower facilities at the venue unless you have paid for a pitch in the onsite camping. Race Starts 06:22-07:25 The race will start with seven waves between 06:22 07:25. All waves will be allowed to enter the water via the start pen approximately 10 minutes before the start of their wave, except the elite and first age group wave who will enter the water together. The start will be between 2 buoys within the lake, athletes will be given warnings at 5 mins, 3 mins, 2 mins & a final warning at 1 minute to go, the start will be via a starter s horn. Please see the start list for your wave times. Transition Area The transition area will be positioned on the events field directly next to the lake. This will be your transition for both the Swim-Bike and Bike-Run. There will be no change tent available and nudity is not permitted so consider this in your race preparations. Please note your helmet must be worn when entering the transition area, you will also be asked to show both your race number & bike frame number when taking your bike out, this is for your security. Bags and boxes are not permitted within your racking space, however there will be a bag drop zone within the enclosed transition area. Please see transition diagram. The Team Event Only one person is required to register for the whole team, but will be required to either show ALL of the 2018 BTF Race Licences or pay for the relevant amount of day licences. All relay team tags will take place directly next to your racking position, the swim to bike and bike to run tags are made by passing the Timing Chip to the next team member. Please note you are not allowed to touch your bike or helmet until you have made the tag. Electronic Timing & Live-to-web Results To ensure accurate times and results, every competitor will receive a timing chip to use whilst racing. Please ensure that you bring your chip with you on race day and that you fasten it securely to your left ankle. Please ensure that you do not cross the mats, which register your times except in the case of when you are competing. To avoid this problem, do not climb over barriers as they are out in place to prevent access from these areas prior to the event. Failure to comply with this request will trigger your timing chip and will invalidate your result. When fitting your chip some people find it useful to smear a small amount of lubricant around that area to prevent any chaffing, however please do not apply too much otherwise the strap will become unusable. Electronically capturing each finisher s time allows us to continuously post provisional results on the plasma screen in the results gazebo directly in front of the main building. We should have live-to-web results at osbevents.com and don t forget to download our new Outlaw App for live updates too. 6 6

8 We will be taking standard swim, transition 1, bike, transition 2 & run splits, we are also taking splits on the Bike & Run sections, at the distances stated below: Bike Split: 28.5 Miles Sandringham Run Splits: 4.35 & 8.7 Miles Front of house All splits and finish times will be live-to-web as the event is taking place, friends and family can track your progress by visiting our website and / or Mobile Applicaton, which is available free on iphone and Android by searching Outlaw Triathlons. Cut-off Times SECTION CLOCK DAY TIME SWIM CUT OFF 1 HOUR 10 MINUTES 08:35 BIKE START CUT OFF 1 HOUR 20 MINUTES 08:45 BIKE FINISH CUT OFF 5 HOURS 20 MINUTES 12:45 RUN START CUT OFF 5 HOURS 30 MINUTES 12:55 RUN LAP 1 CUT OFF 6 HOURS 40 MINUTES 14:05 RUN LAP 2 CUT OFF 7 HOURS 50 MINUTES 15:15 RUN FINISH 9 HOURS 16:25 If an athlete misses the cut off time, then we reserve the right to stop them from going onto the next discipline. The Swim 1.2 Miles Cut off 1 hour 10 minutes with a further 10 minutes to pass through T1 The swim will take place in the lake within the Holkham Estate. All swimmers will be required to pass over a check matt before starting the swim. The check matt and start to the swim is positioned to the top left of transition as you look at the lake with the Hall behind you. All swimmers will need to pass the check matt 10 mins prior to the start of your wave. The swim will start in the water using half the width of the lake. This means that the swim start will be approximately 30 metres wide. We suggest that the quicker swimmers will want to start from the left hand side of the start area. The swim route is very simple. You will swim up the lake away from the Hall, keeping to the right hand side of the lake. After 0.4 miles you will follow the bend in the lake to the right hand side before swimming to the left round the outside of the island at the far end of the lake. After 0.65 miles you will be swimming back down towards the Hall before turning left after 1.1 miles to cut across the lake to exit the water via the pontoon. During the swim you will keep all of the swim buoys on your left hand side for the whole course. There will be a full swim safety team on the water, with a medical support team on board. If you require any assistance, please make yourself known to one of the safety team by rolling onto your back, waving one arm and making as much noise as possible. The water safety team will then help and support you. If required, one of the safety boats will transfer you back to the start, if this happens, then you will have to stop and withdraw from the race. You are not allowed to hold onto any safety boats for a rest. If you are seen to be struggling you may be rescued into one of the safety boats & then returned to the swim exit pontoon. Please note the last section of the swim will be swimming directly towards the rising sun, we strongly recommend that you wear goggles with mirrored or smoked lenses to aid sighting of the swim exit. Once you have completed the swim course, you will exit the water via a pontoon heading under an inflatable gantry. Please be careful as you exit the water so that you do not slip. Transition Swim to Bike There is one transition area on the back lawn of the Hall. You will run round the top half of the transition area before entering transition in the top right hand corner where you will turn right into the transition area. After changing from Swim to Bike gear, remembering to attach your helmet on your head prior to touching your bike, you will continue down to the bottom left corner of transition where you will exit onto the road and mount your bike AFTER the mount line. The Bike Miles Cut off 5 hours 20 minutes During the bike course there are some completely closed road, semi closed roads and fully open roads. Some junctions on the course will have traffic management in place, which will allow you to pass through with priority over the other vehicles on the highway. However, we are unable to be 100% confident that vehicles will always stay within the law, so please proceed with caution at every junction. If for reasons of safety, we ask you to stop or slow down, then please do so. There are also junctions, that you will be required to make your own judgement on whether it is safe to proceed. On certain parts of the course, there will be traffic cones to protect you from other vehicles. Please note that at times you will be required to ride inside the cones, with the cones on your right. There will be a large number of National Escort Group riders on the course, these will ensure that all athletes are riding within the rules of the BTF & also act as communication points for the race organisers. If you are in trouble then please flag down a National Escort Rider or stop at an event marshal, both should have communications with Race Control. There will be two support vehicles travelling around the course. Please note: that athletes should not throw any litter (including water bottles) onto the course at any point, we ask that you keep all of your litter. Competitors caught throwing litter will be disqualified as well as being named and shamed on the results. Empty bottles and litter can be discarded at feed stations. 7 7

9 Under no circumstances should athletes ride in bunches or cross the centre line of the road. Unless you are overtaking you should at all times ride in single file and observe a 12m gap between yourself and the rider in front. This is as per the BTF rules relating to competing on open roads. Any infringements will be met with time penalties and or disqualification for multiple offences. Please be mindful at all times that you are representing our sport in the community and that we want to set a positive example of the Outlaw as a fair and sporting event that inspires those that take part and watch the event. The Bike Route The first section of the bike will see you take the traditional main drive out of the Holkham Estate towards the South gate. Remember what this is like as you ll see it and the stunning view of Holkham Hall when you return to transition at the end of the bike route. After a very straight 2 miles you ll exit the estate turning left out of the South gate, and follow the traditional Estate boundary wall for a further 2 miles (making 2 left turns) which will see you join the B1105 towards Wells-next-the-Sea. Following a quick decent towards Wells your climbing legs will get warmed up as you go up Two Furlong Hill before the road bends left and takes you past the main entrance to Holkham Estate on your left hand side (6.9 miles). After 8.2 miles you will turn left off the A149 onto the B1155 towards Burnham Market. As you approach Burnham Market you need to be aware of a few tight bends in the road prior to a right hand turn prior to the village onto Friars Lane. We d recommend dropping to a slightly easier gear ready for the slight rise just after making the right hand turn. This road will be under a One Way system in your direction, though please stick to the left hand side of the road unless overtaking. Back onto the rolling A149 towards Burnham Deepdale you ll need to slow for a sharp left hand turn (13.3 miles) just prior to the village which will see you encounter the start of the climb that will take you on a rolling route up to Docking via the outskirts of Burnham Market where you will make a right turn (15.4 miles) where we advise caution as there are often cars parked which narrows the road. After passing through Docking and turning left (21.6 miles) you ll have a sweeping fast descent followed by a nicely rolling section all the way through Fring, where on the exit you will pass over some crossroads, reaching Feed Station 1 on your left at approximately 25 miles. You ll head through Shernborne before making a couple of tight left turns at Dersingham (28 miles). Now s the time to make sure you re looking smart as you cycle past 2 of the gates to the Sandringham Estate, don t forget to wave on your way past! At approximately 31.5 miles, you ll turn onto the A148 Please take care as you turn out onto the main road. That turn is the start of your route back to Holkham which will see you climb to the high point of the course at 36.7 miles, it s all downhill from here, well nearly! You will now turn left at 45 miles onto the B1355 missing the busy Fakenham roundabout. Once on the B1355 you continue for approximately 1.5 miles before making a right hand turn onto an unnamed road which has Feed Station 2 on the left hand side. You will then re-join the B1105, the next section of road will be another rolling section of the course with a very fast descent prior to making a very hard left hand turn. PLEASE NOTE this turn is tighter than 90 degrees so you will need to SLOW DOWN prior to making the turn. From this point you will retrace your steps back in through the South Gate of Holkham Estate, climb up to the Obelisk and get a stunning view of the front of Holkham Hall before diving down to the end of the bike course. At the approach to the transition area you will reach the dismount line, please ensure you are off your bike before crossing the line. The Bike - Feed Stations / Maintenance / Toilets There will be 2 feed stations positioned on the bike course, in the following areas: NAME AREA APPRO X MILEA GE SPECI AL NEEDS TOILET DISTANCE FROM PREVIOUS FEED/TOILET TRANSITION BIKE START 0 N/A YES N/A BIKE FEED 1 EXIT FROM FRING 25 YES YES 25 BIKE FEED 2 CRANMER - BETWEEN B1355 / B NO YES 21.5 TRANSITION BIKE FINISH 56 NO YES 9.5 The feed stations will all contain the following items: Bottle drop for empty bottles Dustbins for rubbish Bottles - Water Bottles - HIGH5 Energy Drink HIGH5 Energy Gels: Mixture of flavours Bananas Toilets As you approach the feed station please call out what you require i.e. Water or High 5, this makes the lives of our marshals much easier.

HIGH5 - EASI UP HIGH5 - ENERGY DRINK WATE R ENERGY GELS BANANAS HIGH5 - ENERGY DRINK WATER LAST CHANCE SALOON The Run Miles (UKA Certified) Cut off 9 hours The Outlaw Half Holkham run course is a scenic affair, using the roads and paths within the Holkham Estate. After leaving transition at the top right hand corner you will run along the edge of transition before coming out onto the road where you will pass through the 1st feed station on the run course. The start of the run will see you follow the same route as you did on the bike running up to the Obelisk, with a stunning view of the front of the Hall over your left shoulder as you climb the hill. As you descend on the other side of the Obelisk you will make a left turn (1.5 miles) off the main drive onto a well maintained farm road, where you will pass Feed Station 2. You will follow the farm paths through some of the estates picturesque woodland before turning left after 3 miles (Feed Station 3) onto another of the estates roads that will bring you back towards the end of your lap. Make sure you keep your eyes open so you can catch a view of not only the stunning scenery, but also some of the wildlife that calls Holkham its home, from the herd of deer to the Red Kites overhead. At the end of your first 2 laps you will collect a wristband in front of the house, as you complete your third and final lap you will filter to the right onto the red carpet to complete the Outlaw Half Holkham.
