Transition
Marshals
If you are one of our transition marshals see the Transition Chair and he or she will position near the
entrance(s) to transition. It will be your responsibility to make sure
all athletes entering transition have been body marked (if they are
not marked they can still enter but remind them they cannot start the
race unless they are marked and may be pulled out at swim start so get
marked. Check their race number or verify they are an athlete as NO
ONE other than athletes are allowed in transition. If they have not
picked up their number yet send them back to the registration table.
Transition closes and must be cleared at 7:30 a.m. (race start). Transition area re-opens when about
90% of the athletes have finished the race (around 9:45 a.m.) If we
let them get their equipment and leave too early they will interfere
with athletes still on the course
Time
Chip Assistants
These people will help distribute timing chips to the athletes at transition
area. Alta Vista Sports controls this but needs your help. Once the race starts then you will go to the food area
under the big tent to help with food prep. After the food is prepared
head to the finish line and help remove and store chips.
Body
Marking
Body Markers need to be near the registration tables on Honeymoon Island at 6 a.m. where you will find all the magic markers.
A line will quickly form toward transition if you stay too close together.
You have to be careful not to interfere causing a back up near registration
or a back up getting into transition. Spread out north to keep the athletes
flowing toward the transition area without a big hold up. We expect
a greater number of athletes than ever and they all arrive about the
same time so we need to keep them moving. Mark the biceps of both arms
and the front of both thighs with their race number. Have them SHOW
you their number. Mark their age on their back left calf. Most are registered
in the age group division so you will only need their age. Some will
be registered in a elite, Clydesdale, Athena or relay. If they are registered
in a division other than age group put a letter next to their age on
their calf corresponding to their division A – for Athena, R for
relay, E for elite, C for Clydesdale.
LATER:
At 7:25 a.m. leave the markers just outside of transition for anyone
that might need them and head to the city tent where you will prepare
and distribute fruit/food to the athletes who have finished. If someone
wants something before the race give it to them discreetly without opening
it up to breakfast Once all the food is ready have any extra people
not truly needed there to head tot he bike course by transition to help
with dismount or direct athletes on their first lap to keep left and
second lap to keep right.
PARKING
Parking crew are our EARLY BIRDS and to arrive at 5 a.m.
Report to Jeff Rhoads for your assignments.
At the main gate entering Honeymoon Island to wave athletes
past the toll booth as no fee is collected for race traffic.
CLEAR UP CREW
