22-24 FEBRUARY 2019 COMPETITOR INFORMATION - Elite Energy
Welcome from our
RACE DIRECTOR
On behalf of the dedicated team at Elite Energy, welcome to the 14th year of the
Shimano Husky Triathlon Festival. One of Australia’s most beloved Long Course events,
the Husky Ultimate Triathlon has seen over 18,000 long course athletes cross the finish
line since the first race in 2006.
This event is more than just a long course triathlon. It’s a true festival, with a packed
weekend program that includes Super Sprint, Sprint and the NEW Classic distance
triathlons in addition to an Ocean Swim, Aquabike, Fun Runs, MINIMAN kids’ triathlon,
and our popular Health & Lifestyle Expo.
This year features a NEW bike course for the Classic and Ultimate events, and we look
forward to showcasing more of this beautiful area.
Huskisson is a spectacular spot to race and holiday with great local cafes and restaurants,
coupled with a full range of accommodation from camping, cabins, motels through to
beach front homes.We hope you will have time to enjoy this special part of the world.
As any triathlete knows, volunteers are the lifeblood of these events. More than 500
people from the surrounding areas have volunteered to support you over race weekend,
and they’re committed to getting you to the magic of the finish line. Please take the time
to say thank you to this great team - they are inspired by you and understand the
sacrifices you make to get to the start line. Please respect them and the community at
large by leaving the surrounding areas as clean as you found them.
Finally, we hope you enjoy your experience and the challenge of the Shimano Husky
Triathlon Festival and wish you the best race possible.
See you at the finish line.

  • Any pass must be completed within 25 seconds
22-24 FEBRUARY 2019 COMPETITOR INFORMATION - Elite Energy
Triathlon is an individual race and it is your responsibility to fully understand the rules
and avoid infringements. A Technical Official’s ruling is final in the case of Drafting,
Blocking, and Illegal Pass infringements (Judgment Calls) and these are not subject to
either protest or appeal. If you are shown a card by a Technical Official you must report
to the Penalty Box at the next available opportunity. Failure to do so may result in
disqualification.

The following are the most common rule infringements:

  SATURDAY ONLY
  • Blue Card 3-minute Penalties include:
  • Drafting – Following a leading cyclist closer than 10 metres and failing to pass in
    20 seconds OR after being passed, failing to drop back 10 metres before re-
    passing
  • Illegal Pass – Passing on the left
  • Littering - Discarding items, e.g. tyres, bidons, gel wrappers etc., on any part of
    the course except within designated areas near an Aid Station

 SUNDAY ONLY
 • Blue Card 5-minute Penalties include:
 • Drafting – Following a leading cyclist closer than 12 metres and failing to pass in
   25 seconds OR after being passed, failing to drop back 12 metres before re-
   passing
 • Illegal Pass – Passing on the left
 • Littering - Discarding items, e.g. tyres, bidons, gel wrappers etc., on any part of
   the course except within designated areas near an Aid Station

A Technical Official will advise you of any time Penalty by calling your number, advising
you of the nature of the infringement and showing you a BLUE Card. It will be then
your responsibility to serve the time Penalty(s) at the next Penalty Box.
22-24 FEBRUARY 2019 COMPETITOR INFORMATION - Elite Energy
Yellow Card Stop Start Penalties to be served at the next Penalty Box include:
• Blocking – Riding on the right side of an athlete without passing or riding on the right
   hand side of the bike lane when clear of other athletes.
Yellow Card Stop Start and Correct Penalties include:
• Helmet – Failing to have your chin strap securely fastened when moving with your
   bike. Please ensure your helmet is fastened before unracking your bike and it must
   not be unfastened until your bike is racked following the cycle leg of the race.

NOTE: that any 3 infringements across the course during the event may result in a
Disqualification in the Long Course Event. Any 2 infringements across the course during
the event may result in a Disqualification in the Sprint and Shorter Distance Events.

Other infringements which may result in Disqualification include:
• Offensive and unsportsmanlike behaviour,
• Public personal toilet,
• Outside assistance (from anyone other than a race official),
• The use of electronic equipment including telephones, including the use of earphones
  or other communication devices.

A SPECIAL NOTE ON WETSUITS (if it is wetsuit swim) note the extract from
the Australian Race Competition Rules with regard to wetsuits:
“2 SWIMMING CONDUCT
2.1 When wetsuits are allowed, all of the components of the wetsuit will fit to the athletes’ body
tightly;“
If you have a wetsuit that has neoprene or carbon fibre flaps on the forearm to increase
the pull through the water, these suits are not legal.
Please note that if it is deemed a non-wetsuit swim calf guards may not be worn but
may be used following the swim component of the race.

OUTSIDE ASSISTANCE – do NOT accept any assistance from anyone other than race
personnel and do not have non-racers ride or run alongside you.

Triathlon is an individual event and it is your responsibility to fully understand the rules
and avoid infringements. A Technical Official’s ruling is final in the case of Drafting,
Blocking, and Illegal Pass infringements (Judgment Calls) and these are not subject to
either protest or appeal.

There is no Penalty Box on the Run course so if you receive an infringement on the run
leg you will serve an on-course Stop/Start Penalty with the Technical Official.
22-24 FEBRUARY 2019 COMPETITOR INFORMATION - Elite Energy
Conducting personal toilet in an area other than at the oncourse toilet facilities
provided may result in a DQ.

Remember to treat other athletes, volunteers and officials with courtesy and
consideration as failure to do so is Unsportsmanlike Conduct and may result in a DQ.

We hope you have a great race, lots of fun, and achieve your Triathlon goals.

Always remember to treat other athletes, volunteers and officials with courtesy and
consideration as they are important in keeping the event safe and fair.

Premium Wave
Please note there is a premium wave again this year for the Ultimate distance for those
wishing to start early, just after the Pros. Please note you will NOT be eligible for age
group placings or medals when entering this wave.
Athlete Registration
At initial registration you will be required to produce some form of I.D. (Drivers
Licence, T.A. Licence, etc.). If you are a TA Member, you MUST have your current TA
Membership Card. You will be given your official Competitor I.D. wrist band/bracelet.
This must not be removed prior to the finish of the race. The ID bracelet will also be
essential to gain entry to competitor restricted areas and to collect your bike and
other gear after the race.

Also issued at Saturday Registration will be your electronic Timing Chip Band (further
details further on).

You will also receive a bike number (double-sided sticker) – this needs to be attached
to the underside of your bike seat prior to checking in your bike in the separate bike
compound on Sunday morning.

At initial registration you will also receive a helmet number (sticker). This must be
attached to your helmet prior to race day check-in.
All bike racking for Sunday events will take place Sunday morning. NO Bike Racking
Saturday Afternoon. Helmet check-in and inspection will also take place on race
morning as you enter the compound to set your gear, and prepare for the swim/race
start.

Only competitors will be permitted to enter the Registration area and separate Bike
Check-in compound.

You will also be issued with one race bib at registration. This will need to be visible on
the front of your clothing for the run leg. This can be achieved by using a RACE BELT
available for purchase at Registration, or with safety pins. BE GREEN – with over 5,000
race numbers being issued at this event, each number has the ability to use 4 safety
pins. Please bring your own pins (and re-use), or purchase a race belt to eliminate this
wastage.

Competitor Registration will take place at the Race Office on the grass area, within the
Expo behind the Husky Pub, between 2:30pm and 5.30pm on Saturday 23rd. Please check
schedule for COMPULSORY registration times.

No early or late registration will be permitted (unless prior EXTREME circumstances
have been arranged with the Registration Director).

officials.
Race Day Parking
If you need to drive to the race start, please consider where you are parking as there
is very limited parking in the town centre, and road closures will be in operation as
outlined. We recommend that you arrange this prior to race day, and allow enough
time to walk to the race start from what may be a fair distance from your vehicle.
Transition – Race Morning
Race morning, you should go directly to the bike compound (Transition) and
prepare your bike and race day equipment. We ask that you place your Race Day
Equipment (running shoes etc.) on the CHAIN-RING SIDE of your bike. Please
ensure that you bring your timing band on race morning check in and this should
be secured at this time to your LEFT ankle. Bike check-in is from 4.30 am for
the Ultimate and Aquabike and from 7.00am for the Classic event. There
will be strict security for entry to the bike compound. Your ID bracelet/wrist
band must be secured to gain entry. You must use the swim cap issued to you
at Saturday Registration.

         Kryofix mobile cryotherapy recovery will be at the Big
         Husky for the entire weekend to help you prepare and
                               recover.

        The Cryosauna can be used before the event, during and
        also after the event to maximise your performance and
                                recovery.

        For the Big Husky Tri, we are offering a special discounted
               price of $70 (normally $90) or 2 for $100.

       Sessions are limited, so book early to avoid disappointment.
Bike Inspection
Officials may only carry out a cursory inspection of your bike. You should ensure
your bike, as well as your helmet, is in a safe working order before presenting it at
check-in to avoid rejection. Bike inspectors may check for such things as:
• Front and rear brakes operable
• Tyres in reasonable condition
• End plugs on handle bars
• Loose head sets
• At least one water bidon cage
• Stripped cables
• True wheels
• Singles glued securely to rims
Disc wheels may be used on rear only. There will only be sufficient facilities for
minor repairs and/or purchasing of required minor parts, at the check-in. Trained
personnel will only effect on-the-spot minor adjustments, if required. A mechanic’s
fee may be charged for repairs. Your bike will be placed in the compound in
accordance with your race number.
Helmets
Immediately prior to Sunday bike transition check-in, Triathlon Australia Technical
Officials may carry out a visual inspection of your helmet. Your helmet, therefore,
must be correctly fastened on your head at this time. This visual inspection,
however, as with the bike inspection, is not a certification of roadworthiness or
safety effectiveness.
Competitor Race Number
These must be visible at all times during the event. Numbers must not be
altered in any way and MUST be displayed on UPPER CLOTHING ABOVE THE
WAIST. If competing in a tri-suit your cycle and run numbers must be displayed on
front (run) and back (bike) of the suit. If using a race belt, numbers must be secure and
displayed at front or back and not to the side of the body.
Gear Bags
Your gear bags and bike pumps must be placed in the special Secure Area next to the
bike compound on race morning, it will be labelled ‘baggage’. You will be provided with a
numbered tag, which must be secured, to your street gear bag for later collection after
the race.
Aid Stations
There will be ONE aid station on the bike leg, and there will be three (3) RUN aid
stations, allowing access to fluids approximately every 2km. The first aid station on the
run will be situated approx. 300m from transition. For pre-race filling of water bottles
and sports drink, there will also be the transition aid station. Please remember that 50%
of the race volunteers will be at Aid Stations - they will do their very best and will be
trained beforehand – however, some are inexperienced, so PLEASE BE PATIENT AND
POLITE.
Water and the electrolyte replacement fluid Powerade will be available at these
Stations.
Run Aid Stations
Tables/volunteers will be spread as follows:

  Water       Powerade         Gels        Cola       Food        Water

When approaching an aid station, be ready to call your need. For Powerade
you should call simply “Powerade”.

Bike Aid Station
Tables/volunteers will be spread as follows:

  Water       Powerade        Water
Please ensure that you start your race with at least one full bidon / bottle of your
own.
Call for what you want as you approach, and pass through a station and be aware of
volunteers and fellow athletes at all times.
If you need to stop at a Station for first aid, toilet or other emergency, move to the
left of passing cyclists, slow down, enter the station area just before one of the tables
and dismount.
Discard bidons in designated areas located at the approach and exit of each Aid
Station.
If you use a Jetstream system, be aware that the volunteers will not open bidon tops
for you.
When approaching a station be ready to call your need. For the Energy drink simply
call “Powerade”.
Portable toilets will also be available in the area. There will be a Station and toilets at
the Finish line.
The Finish Area Station will additionally provide (for competitors only) ice cream, fruit
salad, and fruit options such as bananas and watermelon, plus water and Powerade.

Rubbish on Course/ Littering
Please show respect for the local community and surrounding wildlife - DO NOT
LITTER! Any item that needs to be discarded, including but not limited to water
bottles, gel wrappers, energy bar wrappers, broken bike parts, or clothing items, may
only be discarded at either the rubbish bins provided at race central; at your bike
transition area or the run aid stations.
This forms part of the TA Race Competition Rules and may result in a
competitor being penalised, disqualified, suspended, or expelled. The nature
of the rule violation will determine the subsequent penalty.

Toilets
Port-a-loo toilets will be located in the transition area, expo area, at most run aid
stations, at the bike aid station and at the finish line, with public toilets located on the
run course at the RSL end of the run turn, at Moona Moona Creek and near
Huskisson Beach Caravan Park.
Please ensure you use these facilities as required as anywhere else may lead to
disqualification or Police action if caught, particularly in residential areas.
Shimano Mechanical / Bike Support On Course
Mechanics and limited spare parts will be provided on race day by the extremely
experienced and friendly team from SHIMANO AUSTRALIA. The SHIMANO Team will
be located near the Transition area, and also on the course on race day.
Mobile bike support, supplied by the Shimano Team, will operate on the bike course.
Each mobile Technical Support vehicle will carry a small range of parts to help with
minor repairs. All competitors must start with at least one spare tube. Wheels will be
in limited supply.
Competitors should be self-sufficient with repairs, and should ensure you carry
adequate equipment to do this. Be aware that it may be some time before the Shimano
mobile support team can get to you.

• Opens @ 4:30am / Closes @ 6:00am / Briefing 6:10 am in Transition

Please note that the bike check-in is a safety precaution to monitor basic soundness of
your bike, and is essentially a visual check on obvious defects. It is not a certification of
roadworthiness by race officials that your bike meets any specific minimum criteria or
a guarantee it will not break down during the race. It is your sole responsibility to
ensure the mechanical and safe operation of your bike prior to and during the race.
Timing
All Athletes will be timed with a Chip Timing System provided by Multisport Australia,
and involves the use of an electronic chip attached to an ankle band. Your
responsibilities as a competitor include:
When you register on Saturday 23rd February, you will be issued with a Timing Chip.
You must wear the Chip at all times while racing. The timing band with the chip must
be attached to your left ankle before you register on Sunday morning for the swim.
You must leave it on until you finish the entire race. It is a means of recording your
finish times across the special timing mats located at the end of each leg of the race
and other check points (turnarounds etc.).
At the completion of the race you will be required to remove the timing band and
hand it to Officials prior to leaving the secured finish compound area. If you fail to
register for the swim on race morning (Sunday), you are still responsible for returning
the chip to race headquarters at the finish area.
As you have acknowledged on your entry contract, the timing chip and band is on loan
and you are committed to returning the band intact with the chip to the Elite Energy
Pty Ltd or pay AU$150 .
Do not lose or forget your chip on race day. Limited replacement chips will be
available at registration, but there is no guarantee that one will be supplied to you. You
will remain responsible for the return of the original chip and any replacement chip or
the cost of them.
It is imperative that you return the timing band to the Race Office should you
withdraw from the race at any time. It is essential for us to know where you are on
the course at all times for your safety and our ability to post accurate official results
post- race.
The Race Office also needs to be advised of competitors who may be transported
from the course direct to the Medical Recovery Area at the Finish Compound.

ROAD CLOSURES AND RESTRICTIONS
Throughout the festival, 22-24th February 2019, for the safety of competitors and
motorists, and in compliance with Triathlon Australia recommendations, there will be
some road closures in place in Huskisson, Vincentia and Woollamia that will
affect residents and visitors.

  Download Road Closures >
SWIM COURSE 1.9KM / 1KM
The swim course closes 1 hour after your official wave start time. Failure to meet
this time will result in a DNF (did not finish) classification. The Ultimate and Aquabike
course is a two lap 1.9km open water triangular shaped swim in the crystal clear
waters of Jervis Bay with a beach start on Huskisson Beach. The Classic course is a
single 1km lap of this triangle.
The depth of the water varies throughout and there is a tidal current. At the swim
finish, swim as close to the shore as possible prior to standing. There will be many
trained personnel along the Swim Course (boats and surfboards) to assist you in case
of any medical emergency while you are in the water. If you experience difficulties
during the swim and require assistance, raise your arm. You may use a float or
stationary craft to support yourself to regain composure before continuing and not
incur a penalty. If you obtain other assistance, you will be disqualified from taking
further part in the race.
WETSUITS The Triathlon Australia appointed Technical Delegate will take the
water temperature 24 hours before race start and the reading will be displayed at
Registration on Saturday afternoon. The water temperature will be taken again on
race morning and the wearing of wet suits will be conditional upon water
temperature. The temperature of the water should be in the vicinity of 22C. If,
however, the temperature is well below this due to freak conditions it is possible the
swim could be shortened. Wetsuits and an additional cap/s are advisable in such
conditions. Wetsuits may be checked for acceptable thickness and illegal flotation
inserts. Wetsuits which do not meet Triathlon Australia acceptable standards in this
regard may result in disqualification after the swim.
SWIM START: There will be minimum (4) wave starts commencing at 6:30 am and
separated by five (5) minute intervals. Swim caps will be colour coded according to
each wave. Details of your wave start grouping will be issued at Saturday Registration
and available again on race morning.
You will be called to the start line from the bike compound into your wave. You
should ensure you assemble according to your swim cap colour and move to the
start line without undue delay. You must not move beyond the start line. You will have
sufficient time for a warm up before being called back to the line.
N.B. Technical Officials will monitor competitor behaviour during the swim. Breaches
of rules will result in a three minute time penalty prior to entering the bike
compound area.

FELT BIKE COURSE
90KM / 60KM
There are significant changes to the cycle course in 2019. Both previous and new
competitors need to be familiar with the course.
The cycle course closes for each competitor 5 hours after the start of their individual
wave start time (3 hours for Classic athletes). Due to road closure restrictions, this
will be enforced.
After exiting the water, athletes will run up the southern stairs from the beach turning
right onto the footpath and continue to the bike compound. Athletes will commence
the Bike Course at the northern end of White Sands Park, at the official start line
marked on Bowen St. They must walk/run their bike within the compound and only
mount at this line.
The cycle course takes an immediate left onto Hawke St, to a u-turn just before
Nowra St. The course then follows Hawke St to the roundabout at the Huskisson
Hotel, turning left onto Owen St (the main street of Huskisson).
At the Huskisson Pictures corner, cyclists turn right onto Sydney St, where they
continue along Tomerong St, which turns into a gradual climb up Huskisson Rd. At the
“T” intersection with Jervis Bay Rd, the course does another u-turn, with a fast
descent back towards Huskisson.
At the service station, cyclists take a left at Woollamia Rd and follow this until a left
turn onto Fairfax Rd. The course then takes a sharp right onto Knoll Parade, then a
left back onto Woollamia Rd. At the end of Woollamia Rd, cyclists will have another
fast section back towards the Woollamia township. After Woollamia, athletes will head
back into Huskisson via Tomerong St, Sydney St and Owen St.
Turning right at the Huskisson Hotel onto Hawke St, athletes will pass transition and
complete the first lap heading straight on to commence their second lap. Ultimate and
Aquabike competitors then complete this same course another 2 times and on the
3rd lap finishing on Bowen St at the bike finish line. Classic competitors will complete
only 2 laps of this course.
NB The one cycle aid station is located half way along Hawke St.
Check out the course maps on the website
HOKA ONE ONE RUN COURSE
21.1KM / 10KM
After leaving the bike leg and commencing the run, athletes will have wished this to be
a marathon. The 21.1km run leg will be a 2 lap out and back course. The
10km Classic run leg is 1 lap, out and back. Runners will exit from White Sands
Beach Park and run along the footpath / cycleway that snakes along the foreshore of
Jervis Bay. The run course turns up the finish chute, before turning to head out onto
lap 2.

     "If you've ever been to Big Husky you've probably met the crew from HOKA
     ONE ONE Australia. The shoes have changed a bit, but we haven't. We love
     Husky, it's one of the very best events of the year, and it gives us a great
     chance to catch up with all our local mates and great big friendly tri clubs
     from across Australia. We took up Emo's offer to be the HUSKY Run Leg
     Partner this year so that even more of you could find and try the world's
     lightest and most comfortable running shoes, and even pick up some expo-
     only HOKA swag. Come say 'hi' to find out what we mean.We dare you.
     And some of you might have heard of KONA? Even with a hot, speedy
     carbon-plated shoe tripling another major brand's popularity in triathlon, we
     hung on for our second year as the most popular shoe at the biggest global
     arena in tri. Not bad for a running brand that hasn't even turned 10 yet! And
     guess what we've got with us at this year's HUSKY? That's right - a completely
     kickass carbon-plated race shoe, the Carbon Rocket. Come and check it out
     with all the other speedy new HOKA - Rehi, Mach 2, Clifton 5, and Arahi 3.
     Wide, slow, sore, or speedy, we've got your jam.TIME TO FLY.“

OTHER IMPORTANT INFO
Technical Support
There will be a Technical Delegate, Race Referee and Chief Technical Official
appointed by Triathlon Australia to administer ALL race rules for the entire race from
6.30 am to 3.00 pm. It is expected that you be acquainted with these rules. Additional
trained and accredited Technical Officials will cover the entire course.
Pre-Race Training
When cycling or running locally, remember the NSW Traffic rules of the road. Do not
ride two abreast on narrow road sections and obey all traffic rules. Being a
competitor does not exempt you from the NSW law. Be courteous to motorists -
they could be your volunteers on race day. Wearing of helmets whilst cycling is
compulsory in NSW and NSW Police can issue on-the-spot fines for breach of this
law. Bring a chain and lock for your bike whenever you leave it. Lights and reflectors
are necessary for night riding.
Whilst swim training, do not swim alone and always wear a bright swim cap.
Withdrawal
If you need to withdraw from the race prior to race day, please contact us as soon as
possible at office@eliteenergy.com.au. If you need to withdraw during the event,
please advise the Race Office as soon as practical, and also return your timing chip.
This is very important to ensure all competitors are accounted for and safe.
Remember that failure to return the timing chip will incur a $150 fee.
Medical Insurance / Waiver
You are reminded of your acceptance of entry conditions, waiver release and
indemnification. Please note this is a legal part of the form and affects your rights.
You have attested your physical condition has been verified by a registered medical
practitioner. If you have developed a medical condition since you registered to enter,
this should be brought to attention and where appropriate a medical certificate
produced.
Medical Fitness / Waiver
Please ask for medical help if you have the slightest hint you may need it during the
race. There will be an ambulance on stand-by at all times. Note also that if you are
transported by ambulance you could be required to meet costs involved unless
covered by an appropriate medical fund. Any aid given by race medical personnel on
the course is permissible and will not lead to disqualification, excluding the swim
section. If, however, you have any outside assistance you may be disqualified.
You will be withdrawn from the race only if you require transportation, IV fluids, or if
medical personnel consider your continued participation presents a danger to the
health or welfare of you or others. The medical aid station at the start will handle any
injuries or medical problems that arise prior to the start and during the swim.
Those competitors who advised on the entry application of specific medical
conditions will be listed to facilitate treatment by our medical staff on the course e.g.
the Ambulance personnel will be provided with a list of these competitors and their
specific condition.
As per your agreed waiver, if you have any medical conditions that you need to make
our Medical Director aware of, please email office@eliteenergy.com.au.

Outside Assistance
There are sufficient viewing areas on the swim, cycle and run legs for your family,
friends, coaches and supporters to see you during the race. Do not allow them to
cause you to be disqualified by being on the course with you. Think of all the
training you have put in, only to have a well-meaning relative, friend, etc. cause this to
happen in one instant.
Officials at Aid Stations and on the course, as well as the Police, have the authority to
report to the Race Referee to disqualify and take you off the course for a breach of
this race rule. There is absolutely no provision for having anyone running, walking,
cycling, driving beside or near you. Tell them to go away even if they are well meaning
and only wanting to offer encouragement. They can still do this as you go by. We have
enough trouble controlling the normal traffic flow for your safety.
Outside assistance also includes being provided with sustenance other than that
offered at official aid stations. You may not have special foods at any aid station. Your
supporters must not offer any items to you during the event nor can you leave
any items secreted on the course or at aid stations. Triathlon Australia
Technical Officials will be active on the run course as well as the swim and cycle
courses.
Illegal Items: Requests from well-meaning friends/ relatives to hand items to
competitors during the race is not permitted and will lead to disqualification, so
advise them before the race.
Outside Assistance also means no use of headphones or mobile phones.
Important Teams Information
Only one member of your team (the Cyclist) needs to collect the race pack at
registration on the Saturday.
Your timing chip is the team baton. Team members can assist in removing the timing
chip from one team member to another. For example when the swimmer reaches the
rider of their team in transition the runner from the team can be there and remove
the chip from the swimmer and place it around the left ankle of the rider. When the
rider returns, the swimmer can assist by removing the timing chip from the rider and
place it on the left ankle of the runner.
Cut Off Times
Each leg of the triathlon has a cut off time for the safety of the athletes and the
limitations placed on the event organisers by the authorities.
These times are:-
• Swim – 1 hour after your official wave start time
• Cycle – 5hrs after your official wave start time (3 hours for Classic athletes)
• Run – 8hrs hrs after your official wave start time (5.5 hours for Classic athletes)
• Overall – ALL athletes must complete the entire course within 8 hours (5.5 for
Classic) or their timing chip will be removed and they may be deemed DNF (Did
Not Finish).
Finish Line And Recovery Procedures
In the finish chute remember to keep your head up and ensure any headgear does
not obscure your face. Also ensure your race number is correctly positioned and
displayed at the front on upper clothing. As you cross the line, trained catchers will
be there to “escort” you to the secured finish compound. These catchers will
endeavour to briefly assess you as you proceed and may need to take you directly to
the medical tent for treatment.
After crossing the Finish Line, you will move into a secured area where refreshments
will be available for you. Note that prior to exiting the finish area, you must remove
your timing band and hand this in to officials.
Medical Treatment
For those who unfortunately find themselves requiring medical treatment at the
Finish/Recovery area, you will possibly require I.V. fluid replacement.
Assessment of this need will be made by independent medical staff and not by the
competitor. Note also the possibility of transfer to hospital by ambulance and the
cost involved should you not be covered.

                                             to recycle your cap – just chuck
                                             it in the bucket on your way
                                             into transition after the swim.
