TRANSITIONS & KIT

There will be three transitions on the day. These will not be located at the yacht club and when you leave there in the morning you will not be returning until the race finish.

The first transition is at the 1st paddle finish. Your bike will be here and when you drop your boat, paddle and buoyancy aid you will proceed on bike. No kit can be left behind at this transition.

The second transition will be the Bike / Run transition. You can leave your bike, helmet and SPD shoes (if wearing them) here. All other mandatory kit MUST be carried with you and there may be kit checks along the run section. Anyone found not having the mandatory kit with them will receive a substantial time penalty.

The final transition is the Bike / 2nd Paddle transition. The only thing you can leave at this transition area is your bike before paddling back to the Finish. Your bike will then be brought back when each lorry is full. If you need your bike in a hurry it can be collected at the transition by you. In the interests of bike security the marshal at this transition will have to confirm with Race HQ that he bikes can be released so if there is a delay we would ask that you be patient with the marshal.
