It is the athlete's responsibility to ensure that the timing chip is collected at the finish line, whether the athlete completes the race or not. Once athletes complete Registration, they proceed to the Transition Area, where Body Marking takes place. Athletes set-up their bike and transition supplies at the bike rack for their age group. Each athlete will have his or her race number marked on the right calf and the category letter marked on the left calf. At the Transition Area, there is a section provided for each age and gender category, as indicated on the sign on the front of the bike rack.
Athletes place all their race gear at their bike.
This is the point of your personal transition during the race. As athletes enter the Transition Area during the race, they run over a mat which will beep in accordance with their timing chips. You may practice running over the mat before the race to ensure that your timing chip functions. Please report any problems with the timing chips to Marc Roy at the Sportstats van. At the Finish line, each athlete's tag will be removed from his or her bib number and the timing chip will be collected.
