Your race number, timing chip, swim cap, directions will be waiting for you at your spot. Maintain Physical Distancing at all times. There will be 1 transition area holding 90 spots, you will rack alternating sides with 4 bikes per row, 2 per side.  That will give 2m space to ensure physical distancing.

Time Trial Starting Line Start lines will be chuted with flagging only accommodating one person. This is where athletes MUST practice social distancing maintaining their 2m between each fellow athlete. those starts will be based on your race number. Simply put, number #1 goes first, #2 second, #3 next and so on. Cones will be placed in the chute 2m apart for physical distancing.
