Customized Swag items have to be ordered at least two weeks prior to the event to allow for production time.  We do our best to anticipate additional registrants and order extra for both.  However both represent significant cost, and to help keep registration fees down for athletes we do have to operate within certain limits.  We appreciate your understanding in this matter and look forward to seeing you at our events.

For the Swim Remember:

  • If you are having difficulty at any point in the swim raise your hand and ask for help. Feel free to hold onto the pool edge or lap lanes and then either continue the event or ask for assistance and be removed from the water.  As long as you do not move yourself, or are moved forward with anything other than swimming, you are still qualified to finish the race.
  • Wave assignments are on a first come first serve basis.  Athletes will set up their transition areas and head directly over to the swim start.  As they enter the area they will be allowed to sign for the next available swim wave.  All swimmers are required to be at the pool by 6:45 am!

  • If athletes are not finished at 15 minutes they will be allowed to exit with full credit.

  • Waves of 12 athletes will start every 15 minutes

  • Post Swim Bags: Athletes may leave bags with their race number with any gear they want to leave behind.  The bag will be brought back to transition area 1.

 

For Biking Remember:


  • You are responsible for transporting anything you will need for your run up the hill in the backpack we have supplied to you.  You may use your own backpack if you prefer.

 

For the Run Remember:


  • Have Fun!

 

For the Aid Stations:

 

The Aid Stations will all have Hammer Gel, Water & Heed drink

Post Race Food:

Post Race Transportation:

 

Last year we shuttled people back to their bikes and parking area.  It proved to be a bit challenging, so we designed the run this year to finish back at the T2, where you will use your own bike to get back to T1.  It means you can stay as long or short as you like afterwards and gives you far more flexibility.  And since it's all down hill from T2, you'll get a nice refreshing breeze on the way down after having finished DiabloMan! :-)
