Please plan to snag your packet and drop your bike in transition area at this time. We will be with your bikes all night-no concerns there! Please note per USA Triathlon rules athletes CANNOT pick up any packet except their own. License and USAT identification (if a member) must be provided at packet pick up. Race Morning Shuttle: Shuttles are NOT mandatory this year. If you want to drive in to eagle creek park on race morning with family/spectators you are allowed! Pleas be sure to allow appropriate time to set up your transitions and be ready for the pre race meeting at 7:40 AM. Shuttle Ages are based on USAT Age, or your age as of 12/31/18. Shuttles will run every 30 minutes, but it is CRITICAL that you catch YOUR assigned shuttle. If everyone waits for the 6:45 shuttle there will NOT be room to accommodate everyone. Plan your morning accordingly, and catch your assigned shuttle! Gear Check: All athletes will receive ONE gear check tag on their bib. This tag goes on your allotted ONE BAG in T1 race morning. Prior to leaving on the bike your bag needs to be filled and zipped then left at your bike rack area. We will collect these bags and bring to gear check at the Finish/T1. Athletes will receive a 4- minute penalty for items left outside of their bag. We also cannot guarantee safe arrival of any items not in a zipped bag.

3 T1 Gear Check Pick There will be a tent near T1 that you can stop by post race to pick up your gear from T1. Please make sure to have your bib to match with your gear check tag when picking up. Team Tents: We have plenty of room for team tents! They can be dropped at T2 on Saturday or Sunday. Please be sure to check with the race director Lee O Connor (cell: ), or our staff at packet pick up to make sure you put your tent in the Team Tent space. Swim Course: Water Temp was 70 degrees on 10/3 The swim course will swim clock wise keeping the buoys on the right the entire swim. The large course is.6 miles, and the short course is.3. Water Temp:Please watch Facebook pages for updates into weekend. Current temp 70 degrees. Half: Green Swim Caps Intermediate: Blue Swim Caps 8:00 AM: Half Mass Start (in water to knees) swimming the large loop 2 times (includes the smaller loop). You will turn at the two large triangle buoys all the way out on the loop, and then the red buoys nearest to shore to complete each loop. 8:02 AM: Intermediate Start (in water to knees) swimming the short loop first, followed by one large loop. Short Loop (red buoys-swim first for Intermediate then full loop): Long Loop (red & green buoys-swim twice for Half): T1: T1 is set up inside the fenced in beach area at Eagle Creek park. The swim in is on the south side of the lawn area, and the Bike Out is on the north side of the beach area connecting right to the paved path to run out to the roads. We do plan to have wetsuit strippers at the swim exit right by the transition entrance. We will have carpet down for your comfort! We will have bike racks marked based on age range so please watch for that on Saturday. It is critical that you WALK your bike out of T1. Please mount your bike in the mount here zone. This assures the fastest and safest exit out of transition for all athletes, and assures an accurate time for all.

Please note that on the first loop ALL athletes (half & intermediate) will turn right at 750 S/S 600 E. Intermediate athletes will keep heading south on S 600 E, while half athletes will turn around at.4 miles and head back up to 750 S. Half athletes note-the remaining two loops for the half will NOT do this addition. This short out/back on loop 1 totaling.79 miles assures a 56 mile course for the half. The entire course is marked with orange paint. We also have marked the 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, and 50 mile marks. We will have RMP signage throughout the course race day marking all turns, and the major mile marks. Lastly we will have volunteers or police at turns. You should see a sign, paint, and a volunteer or officer at each turn. Half Bike Aid: Just before the end of each loop we will have the bike aid station, and loop check in. Please assist the volunteers by telling them your bib number. It will be visible on your bike as well. This is just as much to help you keep track as it is to keep all athletes honest on loops. Take the extra second to holler the bib number. 1 Gatorade and 2 H20 bottles will be available for half athletes. You can yell lid or no lid, and what drink you want. The volunteers will take care of you. If exchanging bottles please toss yours near the aid station to avoid littering penalties.

Here is the suggested best route to T2/Finish from Eagle Creek Park: Please be parked near the beach by 8:00 AM which is the start time for the race. Our first bikers will be headed out Eagle Beach Dr. by 8:15 AM. Spectators leaving the swim start please use extra caution staying outside the coned cycling lane heading up Eagle Beach Dr. When you are leaving at the 56 th St park entrance please go east to avoid adding additional traffic westbound on 56 th street. Please note we want all spectators to come off 136/Crawfordsville Rd going south onto N County Rd 1000 East to Raceview Family Campground. You can come and go anytime on this route.

6 Parking at T2/Finish: Please park in the north field (north of the shower house/gatehouse). Ideally enter N County Rd 1000 East off 136 or Crawfordsville Rd and come south to the campground. You can also come from the east on E County Rd 300 N and turn north onto N County Rd 1000 East.
