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!


๐Ÿ’ฅVERY IMPORTANT TO DO #1๐Ÿ’ฅ


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  ITโ€™S 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!

ITโ€™S VERY IMPORTANT (A MUST-DO) TO DO A COMPLETE & THOROUGH BIKE CHECK BEFORE RACE DAY!

๐Ÿ’ฅVERY IMPORTANT TO DO #2๐Ÿ’ฅ


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
๐Ÿ’ฅ

Below are three examples of what your
TRIATHLON RACE BIBS will look likeโ€ฆ
(minus the vanity name on the oneโ€™s 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, itโ€™s NOT a good idea to try to look at it while doing the raceโ€ฆ.(for obvious reasons ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚)
Itโ€™s for you to look at BEFORE that race starts so that you know what to do.
