Instructions For the Duathlon
Year 3 children put a towel and shoes out at the spectator area then go directly to the pool for your swim. The run is done in bare feet. To keep things simple there is no shoe transition. Year 2 children leave for the start area once the first year 3 children have come through the finish. Leave clothing , shoes and a towel in the spectator area. Walk to the pool via the senior playground (not the middle school door).
Instructions For Triathletes
All bikes and clothing for your swim, bike, run transitions need to be in place before 12.30pm on triathlon day. Leave space between your bikes. Lay all bikes on the ground. Walk or jog with your bike in the transition zone (no biking). Return your bike to the same place when your bike laps are finished. Be careful at the bike crossing points - runners slow down and watch out for bikers. PS. Have some extra clothing with you. You will have to wait about an hour for your race. If it is cold you don't want to be waiting in just your togs!
