Racking the Bike

#1 NO #2 YES #3 NO #4 I'll try an answer the best i can. #5 Allow yourself at least 1 hr. #6 NO i have never seen a bike locked up in transistion area. lock it up if you take it out of the transistion area. have fun and enjoy the day.

1:do I lock it up? That is up to you, but there is no need to lock up because only the contestants are allowed in the transition area.

2: do I just leave my wetsuit or swim stuff next to it? Yes, there is an area which is usual directly in front of the bike designated as yours.

3) do I get marked off or something if I am messy? No, all areas get messy as other triathletes muck about.

4) where can i find all this stuff out?! All rules and regulations should be posted on the organizer's site

5) how early should i get there? Be there at LEAST one hour before your scheduled event; there will much confusion and milling about so you want to make sure you are ready before the start.

6) Do i lock it up after the ride? You can if you want, however, as stated earlier, only the contestants are allowed in the transition areas. Do it if you want of course, it's up to you.

7) Do I plan on having fun? I sure hope so, because it would be a waste of time otherwise. Professionals do it for pay, we do it for fun.
