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.

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.

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.

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 .

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 ATHLETE GUIDE
TRANSITION PROCEDURE SWIM-BIKE (T1)| At the swim finish you will pass through a timing chute to the showers then into transition. Move to your bike to remove your swim gear (wetsuit, swim cap and goggles). Only discard your swim gear at your bike. Ensure your helmet is on and fastened before you move your bike from the bike rack. If you lose your timing band during the swim a replacement can be collected at transition exit.
