Triathlon Update

Just two more sleeps until the 2015 version of the Perth Triathlon. We have 13 heats for a total of 122 racers, which means the Triathlon is virtually full. This event is a fundraiser for the Perth Stingrays competitive swim team and there will be many Stingrays parents and swimmers out there volunteering their time. Please be sure to thank them!!! They are also the contributors of the prizes for this triathlon...homemade pies, cookies and fudge...now that should be motivation for you all!! Below are some notes to remember

• Potluck following the race - don't forget to bring something as this is a highlight!
• Cycling - we had some discussions with the OPP and have agreed that we will NOT stop traffic for cyclists. This means that if you are exiting the transition area and there are cars coming either way, YOU WILL BE STOPPED until the car(s) have passed. PLEASE respect this rule. Being stopped will only make a difference of a few seconds and it is not worth the safety risk!
• Medals - our medals have been hand-crafted by one of our talented Stingrays parents. This has helped to keep our costs down...thanks George!
• Timing - you must have your bike in the Transition area by 07:15
• Athletes meeting - on the pool deck at 07:20
• Races Start - We will start with the Double Tri at 07:30. Heats 1 and 2 are the Double Tri and Heats 3 to 13 are the Regular Tri. The teams are mixed in with the Regular Tri. You can see the heat sheets  here
