๐SEE BELOW๐
Before looking at the packet pick-up & race day details below,
PLEASE review the 2 VERY IMPORTANT
TO DO'S BELOW!
THEY ARE BOTH VERY IMPORTANT!
๐ฅVERY IMPORTANT TO DO #1๐ฅ
THE FIRST AND BY FAR THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO DO IS DO A THOROUGH & COMPLETE BIKE & HELMET CHECK!
IF YOU DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH YOUR ABILITY TO DO A THOROUGH & COMPLETE BIKE & HELMET CHECK TO ENSURE THAT BOTH THE BIKE & HELMET ARE SAFE FOR YOUR CHILD, THEN TAKE THE TIME TO GO TO A BIKE SHOP BEFORE RACE DAY!
THIS IS VERY, IMPORTANT FOR THE SAFETY OF EVERYONE!
Parents DO NOT need to get helmets & bikes inspected at a bike shop, but ITโS VERY IMPORTANT (A MUST-DO)
TO DO A COMPLETE & THOROUGH BIKE CHECK B4 RACE DAY!
Please refer to the Scoogie's Bike Check list below!
๐ฅVERY IMPORTANT TO DO #2๐ฅ
EACH TRIATHLETE MUST BE FAMILIAR WITH THE DETAILS
(DISTANCE, COURSE DETAILS ETC)
THAT YOU ARE TO SWIM, BIKE & RUN!
Yes, we will have A LOT of Scoogie Events CREW members at the pool, on the bike course and on the run course to guide all of you as to where to swim, bike and run.
BUT, it is your responsibility to know how many laps you will swim, how many out & backs you will bike and how many laps you will run.
Being familiar with each leg of the triathlon will benefit YOU greatly!
It will give you a lot of CONFIDENCE!
It's important that you familiarize yourself with the three course maps below and know what you are going to swim, bike and run on Saturday!
Again...IT WILL GIVE YOU A LOT OF CONFIDENCE!

IMPORTANT DETAIL ABOUT YOUR RACE BIB
๐ฅ
Below are three examples of what your
TRIATHLON RACE BIBS will look likeโฆ
(minus the vanity name on the oneโs below)
You will notice that on right side of your bib
(if you are looking at it from straight ahead) it has your age group. Then, you will notice below that..(in the perforated tab at the bottom), it has your biking & running details,
(such as 1 or 2 out & backs or how many loops you are going to run). This is to help you.
BUT, itโs NOT a good idea to try to look at it while doing the raceโฆ.(for obvious reasons ๐คฃ๐)
Itโs for you to look at BEFORE that race starts so that you know what to do.
๐ฅCOURSE MAPS BELOW๐ฅ
(swim, bike & run)
Please familiarize yourself with EACH ONE according to your age
