WELCOME TO WESTERN AUSTRALIA
HON ROGER COOK MLA, DEPUTY PREMIER; MINISTER FOR TOURISM
AND
HON ALANNAH MACTIERNAN MLC, MINISTER FOR REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT

The McGowan Government is a proud sponsor of Busselton Festival of Triathlon through
its Regional Events Program.

The program was devised as a way for the Government to support medium to large
events in regional Western Australia to boost tourism, increase community vibrancy and
participation, and develop regional areas.

The Regional Events Program also plays an important role in positioning Western
Australia as an exciting destination to visit and a great place to live by showcasing and
promoting a region’s unique and diverse attractions.

Tourism is a key part of the Government’s plan to diversify the economy, create jobs and
develop business opportunities particularly to help regional economies and
communities in Western Australia.

Events play an important role in this plan, with the Government sponsoring a range of
sporting, cultural, arts and culinary events across the State, through Tourism Western
Australia, to attract visitors, encourage them to stay longer, disperse further and do more
while they are here.

We hope everyone enjoys this event and takes the time to explore the South West
region.

WELCOME NOTE
On behalf of Triathlon WA (TWA) we are pleased to once again be hosting the
SunSmart Busselton Festival of Triathlon. This year will see the 21st edition of the
festival along with the inaugural SunSmart Busselton 100. We are excited to present
this new brand and event distances, while maintaining the legacy and history of the
State Long Course Championships.

The festival will also see the inclusion of the Busselton Foreshore Triathlon, a sold-out
event in it’s first year, the ever-popular SunSmart Kids Triathlon, and the return of the
Busselton Fun Run. These events together provide opportunities for the triathlon
community and the wider Southwest Community to take part in. We thank everyone
who has chosen to be part of the festival in 2022, whether it is as a competitor,
spectator, volunteer, sponsor or exhibitor. We want everyone to embrace the spirit of
the event and create fantastic, extraordinary experiences.

We look forward to celebrating your achievements over the weekend of fun filled
racing.

A MESSAGE FROM OUR TITLED SPONSOR
Healthway, through SunSmart, proudly supports Triathlon Western Australia’s 2022 Busselton
Festival of Triathlon.

We have been working with Triathlon WA to ensure this regional event remains sun safe, as
spending long periods outdoors during peak UV times can put people at risk of skin damage.

This event provides a great opportunity for everyone, including children, to lead healthy active
lifestyles, enjoy the healthy food and drinks on offer and learn about spending time safely
outdoors.

Triathlon WA plays a valuable role in creating healthy and sun safe environments amongst
triathlon clubs across the state, and we look forward to working with them this year to create
more activities and events that support good health now and into the future.

If you are competing, watching, or volunteering at this year’s SunSmart Busselton Festival of
Triathlon remember to follow the Cancer Council WA’s recommendations to Slip, Slop, Slap,
Seek and Slide. You can find more information by visiting the Cancer Council WA website at
www.myuv.com.au.

Good luck to everyone participating in this iconic event!

WELCOME TO BUSSELTON
The City of Busselton is once again proud to support and host the 2022 SunSmart
Busselton Festival of Triathlon, which is one of Busselton’s major triathlon events. On
behalf of the Council, I welcome all visitors and competitors. We always look forward to
the excitement as the City comes alive with the spectacular backdrop of the Busselton
foreshore to start and finish the race. The City CBD is also open for business and ready to

Please make the most of your visit to the South West in 2022, the region is a living and
breathing embodiment of ancient geography, natural beauty, abundance of space, fine
wine and fresh coastal air makes a holiday in Busselton the remedy to modern life.

The region is home to a thriving natural environment which includes the Leeuwin-
Naturaliste National Park, the last remaining Tuart forest in the world, and the turquoise
waters of Geographe Bay with its pristine sheltered beaches. Over 35,000 whales migrate
past the coastline during spring each year.

I would like to congratulate the event organisers on their professionalism – in another
challenging year - and extend my sincere appreciation to the sporting community for
supporting this wonderful WA based event.

To the triathletes, I hope you enjoy the course, which is celebrated for being flat, fast, and
fabulously picturesque. To the spectators, thanks for bringing your excitement and
passion to this event. We hope to see you back here again in 2023 – if not before! We

A MESSAGE FROM THE RACE REFEREE
On behalf of Triathlon Western Australia, I would like to welcome all athletes taking part in the
SunSmart Busselton 100, which in 2022 is also the WA State Long Course Championships. The
team of technical officials appointed to the event are here to ensure that you have a safe, fun, fair
and memorable event. The Athlete Information Guide contains the answers for the majority of
questions you will have in regard to the event. Please take the time to read and understand the
contents of the guide. Should you have any remaining queries not answered by reading the
Athlete Guide or the relevant rules, I will be happy to chat with you over the event weekend. I
encourage all athletes to familiarise themselves with the Triathlon Australia Race Competition
rules applicable to this event. As Triathlon is an individual race against the clock, it is your
responsibility to fully understand the rules and avoid infringements.

Common Blue Card Penalty- 5 minutes to be served at the next penalty box include:
·Drafting – Failing to maintain a 12m gap between you and the cyclist in front
·Illegal Pass – Passing on the left

Common Yellow Card Penalties- 30 seconds to be served in the nearest penalty box for include:
·Blocking- Failure to keep left, blocking the course
·Helmet – Failure to keep your helmet fastened when moving with your bike
Note- That any 3 infringements across the course during the event may result in a DQ

Common Red Card Penalties include:
·Littering – Discarding items outside of the discard zones
·Electronic Equipment- The use of any equipment including telephones, earphones, and other
devices

Always remember to treat other athletes, volunteers, officials and spectators with courtesy and
consideration as failure to do so is considered unsportsmanlike conduct and may result in a DQ.

We are especially fortunate to have the support of the City of Busselton and the scenic and
picturesque surrounds of Geographe Bay and Tuart Forest in which to conduct the event.
Littering in these environs creates a long-lasting visual impact and potential hazards for the local
flora and fauna. Littering is also in contravention of the TA Race Rules .

Celebrating your achievements with family, friends, and teammates after an event of this size is
an important part of racing however, the finish chute and finish line area are for athletes only. This
is for the safety of you, your fellow athletes and your family and friends. Any athlete being
accompanied down the finish chute by non-competitors will be disqualified.

I hope you have a great race and achieve your goals at SunSmart Busselton 100, and I look
forward to seeing you all reach the finish

   of your bike after the event. The penalty for competing under someone else’s name will result

ATHLETE GUIDE
SWIM COURSE DESCRIPTION
Once again, the iconic Busselton Jetty becomes a key reference for the 2km swim. The entire
course is on the East side of the Jetty.

A beach start awaits before swimming parallel to the jetty in a northerly direction for 750m giving
spectators a great vantage point while enjoying a morning stroll on the jetty. Swimmers will then
head in a North Easterly direction for 250m to the halfway mark before a right-hand turn and
another 250m segment in a south easterly direction to avoid the rising sunlight. Then it’s time to
turn toward the beach, another 750m back to dry land and the swim exit in front of Barnard Park.

Note: Those wanting to warm up for the swim are requested to do so on the west (left hand side) of
the main jetty. Each wave will be invited into the start area before their wave start. Competitors
should only enter the start area via the back of the fenced area and ensure they cross the timing
mats – this is to ensure all swimmers are accounted for and so we ensure everyone has started in
the correct wave.

WETSUITS
The Triathlon Australia appointed Technical Delegate will take the water temperature 24 hours
before race start and the reading will be displayed at race registration on Friday 29 April 2022. The
water temperature will be taken again on Race Morning and the wearing of wetsuits will be
conditional upon the water temperature. The expected water temp for May will be in the vicinity of
19 degrees Celsius, in which case wetsuits will be optional. Wetsuits must only be removed and left
at your numbered bike rack.

   If the water temperature is not greater than 24.5°C, wetsuits are optional for Age group ONLY.
   Wetsuits are not permitted for Open Field if the water is above 22°C.
   If the combined air and water temperature are deemed dangerously low, the race referee (in
   conjunction with water safety) can rule it a compulsory wetsuit swim. This has occurred in the
   past so it is advised that all athletes bring a wetsuit.

If a wetsuit is to be worn, then:
     The wetsuit must be tight to the body while swimming. If any part of the wetsuit can separate
     from the body in any phase of the stroke it is considered an artificial propulsion device and the
     wetsuit is banned.
     The wetsuit must not be thicker than 5mm and must comply with Triathlon Australia Rules. A
     standard variance will be allowed to account for seams and jersey material (non-buoyant).
     Speedo Tri Elite Full sleeved wetsuit is banned.
     A full wetsuit covering arms and legs is allowed. If a swimsuit or speed suit or trisuit is to be
     worn.

SWIM COURSE RULES
   Athletes must wear the swim cap provided in their registration pack.
   No fins, aqua socks, gloves, paddles, snorkels or flotation devices of any kind are allowed.
   Swim goggles and facemasks may be worn.
   No individual paddlers or escorts allowed (exception Para athletes).
   Any assistance that results in forward progress being made may result in a disqualification.
   Athletes are permitted to hold on to water safety craft so long as no forward progress is made.
   Water safety and/or medical personnel reserve the right to remove an athlete from the
   course if deemed medically necessary.
   Athletes found not to have completed the entire swim course will be disqualified

                                                                                                     27

RUN COURSE 18KM
CUT-OFF TIMES:
Individuals: 7hours 15minutes (Total Race Time)
Teams: 6hour 45minutes (Total Race Time)
Run Course cut off times for commencing Lap 3 of the run will apply. All Athletes will
be removed from the course by the Race Director if they have not commenced their
third run lap adjacent to the transition exit/run point by 2:45pm.

RUN COURSE DESCRIPTION
The 2022 run course has been designed to enhance the event atmosphere and ensure athletes
receive plenty of spectator support during the 18km journey.

Exit from transition is via the northern side before turning right onto Geographe Bay Road. A
short 100m section and a right turn onto Milne Street running south beside the event village.
Then the first of 3 Left Hand U-Turns here before returning to Geographe Bay Road and
turning right to the accolades of those enjoying the event from Club Alley. The run continues
south on Geographe Bay Road past the first Aid Station at approx. 700m and another at 2.5km.
At 3.2km a left turn into the carpark opposite Morgan Street and another left onto the Bike
Path has runners heading west on the path with the Jetty in view for some motivation.
Another 2 Aid Stations at totals of 3.5km and approx. 4.8km to ensure regular opportunities to
reload.

Remaining on the bike path runners will pass the large Marine Rescue building and run
adjacent to the newly completed Foreshore precinct that allows excellent viewing for
spectators from the elevated grass area. Sorry no marquees or Pop-Ups allowed on here.

A left turn off the path and onto Geographe Bay Rd brings runners out near the earlier
transition exit point. At this point you will receive the first of THREE lap wristbands to wear. It is
the Athletes responsibility that they collect their wristbands from the designated area. After
collecting your wristband, commence your next lap of the run.

After completing 3 full laps (and collecting your 3rd wristband), make the right hand turn onto
Milne Street again. Ensure you maintain your position on the left hand side of the chute, pass
the U-turn which would take you back towards Geographe Bay Road and continue straight to
the finish chute. Remember - you MUST have collected all THREE lap bands prior to entering
the finish chute.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE TEAM EVENT
These instructions are to ensure that all team changeovers are fair and safe. Please note, due to COVID
safety there will be no separate team changeover area this year. Team member changeovers will all
take place at the team’s designated bike rack position:

   All team Swimmers must be wearing a timing band on their left ankle. They will start in waves as
   instructed in the race briefing. They will swim 1 lap of the swim course and exit the water.

   The team Cyclist will wait for the Swimmer at their bike in transition. The Cyclist may have his / her
   helmet on whilst waiting.

   The team Swimmer will meet the Cyclist at their bike. Here they will take off their timing band and
   hand it to the team cyclist who must put it on their left ankle. Only after the timing band is attached
   may the team Cyclist get their bike and exit the Transition. They must not mount their bike until
   they pass the Mount line as instructed by officials .

   The team Cyclist will then ride 2 laps of the cycle course observing all race and road rules as outlined
   in this booklet.

   Meanwhile the team Runner must estimate the expected time of return of their Cyclist. Warm up
   outside Transition. When they think their Cyclist will be nearing the end of the cycle leg the team
   Runner may enter Transition, taking care not to impede other team members.

   At the end of the cycle course the team Cyclist must dismount their bike before the dismount sign
   and run their bike back to the rack and rack their bike. Only after they have racked their bike can
   they pass the timing band to the team Runner.

   The team Runner must put the timing band on their left ankle and the race number on the front.
   They must not leave transition until this is done.

   No mobile phones, other communication or music devices are allowed to be on your person at any
   time during the event.

   The team Runner will then complete the run course and pass through the finish chute at the end.
   Other team members are able to run down to the finish with the team Runner. Please wait to join
   your Runner there will be an area adjacent to the transition exit/run start to meet your runner for
   the last 350m (see Team Meeting Point on Course Map).

Team Swimmers and Cyclists will leave the transition are fairly promptly to reduce crowding. It is
optional for team Cyclist to wear their team number on course but it is compulsory to have their team
number with them to remove their bike from Transition after the race.

POINTS TO REMEMBER FOR TEAM MEMBERS:
  Team Swimmer: Timing band must be worn on left ankle
  Team Cyclist: Do not un-rack your bike until the timing band is on your left ankle. No cycling in
  Transition.
  Team Runner: The timing band must be on your left ankle and race number must be worn on your
  front. Please don’t panic if your team member is taking longer than anticipated. In the event that
  your team member does not make the time cut off you will be re-chipped and allowed to
  do your part of the event. You will record a DNF on the results and not be considered for
  awards.

                                                                                                         38

members to cross the
      finish line

INSTRUCTIONS FOR AQUABIKE EVENT
The Aquabike participants will be similar to the Individual athletes as you are taking part in the same
course minus the 18km run.

Your bike will be racked in the transition area that is set aside for Aquabike. Please look for the signs in
transition so that you rack in the correct place. You will complete the swim and bike as per the
individual participants and once you have completed the 2 laps of the bike course dismount at the line
as directed by officials. You will rack your bike in the correct location, remove your helmet and place it
at your designated spot.

Race number does not need to be worn on the bike as you have bike stickers plus helmet stickers.

The Aquabike does not finish at the completion of the bike course dismount line – you will run/ walk
350m to the finish line where you can enjoy the finish line feeling and say cheese to the camera! Due to
the distance that you need to go, shoes must be worn for the 350m as a safety requirement and Race
Bibs must be worn for the 350m. Your time will be recorded as you cross the finish line.

POINTS TO REMEMBER FOR AQUABIKE:
  Shoes for the 350m to finish, you can also put street gear etc. into bag compound and pick it up
  post-race.
  Remember only minimum equipment in the transition area – all excess gear must be dropped at
  bag compound.
  Race Number must be worn for the 350m to the Finish Line.
  And last of all when you get to the dismount line and breathe a sigh of relief don’t forget you need
  to run/walk/hobble to the finish line!

                                                                                                          39
