Transition area
The transition area will open at 5:45 a.m. and will close at 6:45 a.m. for ALL participants. Please arrive early to set up your transition area. Allow yourself time to park, unload equipment, get marked, check in and rack your bike, pick up your chip, pin on your number, apply sunscreen, and familiarize yourself with the area. No spectators (including parents) are allowed in the transition area. Experienced volunteers will be available to explain the transition area and help athletes get organized.
