MultiSport 101: 4:00pm day before event. We have been told by many athletes from across the country that our 101 is the best anywhere. As far as we know we started it back in 2003. 2 years later a few others started popping up, and now most bigger, or shall we say more experienced race directors host them. What makes a great 101 is the experience a race director has not only with the race but most importantly in multi-sport. Kenny has been racing since 1987 along with an exercise science and coaching background he is one of the most qualified out there. Our goal with the 101 from day one has been to go through the entire event start to finish for the newbies, the beginners, the less experienced athletes. To try and calm down those butterflies as much as possible. Along with the information on the race the Race Director will give you dozens of racing and training tips along the way and answer any question you may have as well. Classes range from an hour to 2 hours depending on size and how many questions there are. If you are new to Multi-Sport it is Highly Recommended you attned this class. 4:00pm next to the finish line the day before the race. H20 Overdrive is our official Multi-Sport 101 partner. You want something that works without all the hype this is it folks. You are going to spend money on hydration drinks you should spend it on something that not only works but is great for the body!!
Transition Area: **READ THIS SEVERAL TIMES** This event will have two transition areas because the beach isabout a mile from the finish line, parking area, and T-2.It is best to park at T-2/Finish line, setyour running gear and ride your bike to T-1. Please make sure all your equipment is labeled with your name. The transition area will open at 6:00am. No Friends or Family members allowed in the transition area for any reason. You must rack according to your race number. Please remember racks will hold 7 bikes, please be courteous to fellow athletes to ensure there is space for 7. Any and All athletes removing gear from transition areas before the announcer or race directorhas officially opened the transition area will be DISQUALIFIED from the race. No questions asked, your race number will be taken down and you will be disqualified. The transitionarea is closed until all athletes are off the bike course. Sprint athletes this goes for you as well, you must waituntil all the Olympicdistance athletes are off the course to enter the transition area. CHIP PICKUP and Body Markingwill be at T-1 near the Run In inflatable.
The rest of the event information will be up shortly, we have lost some content on a few pages due to our server switch.
Rules: Event management reserves the right to post pone, change format, or cancel the event at any time if the safety of athletes, staff, support crew, and officials is or could be in jeopardy. THERE WILL BE NO REFUNDS FOR ANY REASON!!! Event management is NOT responsible for late arrivals, athletes not finding a venue, etc. Late arrivals will NOT be issued a chip and strap and you will not be allowed in the transition area once it is closed. Again, there will be no refunds for any reason. If an event has mandatory bike check in you must check in your bike during the alotted check in times. Failure to do so will mean you are not going to race and again no refunds will be given. These rules are in place for a reason and deviation of them is not fair to the hundreds of athletes that follow the rules. Profanities on the course, directed at support crew, staff, or fellow athletes will not be tolerated and will result in an Automatic Disqualification and could result in further suspension. If you are caught throwing trash on the course you will receive a 5 minute penalty for the first offense and the second will be a disqualfication. There are garbage bins everywhere, use them. Kids 17 and under may not compete in half ironman distance events. Kids must be 10 yrs. of age to compete in adult sprint events. The race director will have final say for anyone racing at any event. Athletes experience will be considered in a personal interview with the race director on site if a question of ability to safely finish is at stake. Failure to comply will result in a change of event or disqualification if there is an un-willingness on an athletes part. Safety will NOT be compromised under any circumstances. A lost chip will be billed directly to the athlete for a $40 fee and may result in no times for event.
