Subject: RE: Ironman 70.3 Kansas : Official Threadarbucklemicah - 2012-05-22 9:42 PM Thanks to all. 2 more questions, I heard if you need to you can use the float bouyes for a breather on the swim and what about the ansi approved helmets, I cannot find that on mine, it has a sticker that says CE conforms to EN 1078 will this be legal? You might want to check out the web site and athlete guide - those will answer all of your questions. Swim:
6. Any assistance required during the swim will result in disqualification if forward progress was made. Athletes are permitted to use kayaks and boats as aid, as long as forward progress is not made. Special provisions are made for paratriathletes. Course officials and medical personnel reserve the right to remove athletes from the course if determined medically necessary. Bike: 11. CPSC-approved helmet is required during the entire bike portion including in and out of transition area. Athletes riding without an approved helmet or chinstrap not fastened may be disqualified. Alterations to hard-shell helmet, which affect its integrity, are not allowed. |
