(race organization transports bag, boat & paddle(s) to Wiarton Arena) -Participants proceed on bike to Transition 2 where they’ll find Bag ‘B” -Participants take run gear from Bag ‘B’ and put it on, placing bike gear in Bag ‘B’ and leaving it in the Transition area. -Participants run a loop back to Transition 2 -Participants locate bike and bag ‘B’ in transition area and put on biking gear, leaving running gear in Bag ‘B’ and placing Bag ‘B’ in the transport vehicle themselves.

(race organization transports bike and bag ‘B’ to Wiarton Arena). In the event of severe weather, it may be required to enact a course change to an alternate kayak route. Kayaks will be re deployed in the same location but paddling in a different direction or, in worse conditions, redeploying to a sheltered bay. The organization will transport gear accordingly, or the race format will be completely revised to cycle-run-cycle-run if there is severe weather. Sprint Courses Sprint Course participants are encouraged to bring their equipment to the Wiarton Arena Friday night between 5:30 PM and 9:30PM, but have a second chance on Saturday morning between 6:30 AM and 8:00 AM. Suntrail Course & Subaru Duathlon racers: do not bring your boat inside the arena during check-in, we can no longer store them overnight. Bibs and timing chips will not be given to any registrants who do not complete the check-in/gear drop in person at Wiarton Arena during the above times. Returning racers are asked to REMOVE ALL RACE STICKERS FROM PREVIOUS YEARS from your gear to avoid confusion. Gear will be transported as follows: Suntrail Course (paddle-bike-run) There will be one bag (bike & run gear) that will be transported to the upper Colpoy’s Bay Transition Area (T.A.). Participants proceed by kayak to the lower Colpoy’s Bay Transition area, affix their boat gear to their boat, run a 300m leg to the upper Colpoy’s Bay Transition Area, access their bike and gear bag and proceed by bike on a loop that returns them to the same transition area. Participants access their run gear from the same bag, place bike gear back in the bag, and proceed on foot to the finish area. Participants bring their own kayak to the starting line in Bluewater Park, but otherwise bike, boat & bag is transported by the organizers. Run Duathlon (run-bike-run) gear follows the same route but the racer is to pack only bike gear in their gear bag & proceed from the start line in Bluewater Park to upper Colpoy’s Bay TA by foot. Subaru Duathlon (paddle-bike-paddle) gear follows the same route, but paddling gear is affixed to, or stowed in, the boat at Lower Colpoys TA for access later on the return paddling stage. Although they also have bike gear in a bag, Subaru Duathlon racers should wear running shoes in their boat. All Sprint Course racers can opt to transport their own bike or boat themselves, see “RETRIEVING YOUR GEAR” below. In the event of poor paddling conditions, all or some of the racers will be reclassified to run-bike-run, following the Run Duathlon route. If this occurs, participants will be given extra time to retrieve their run gear. The mass start will be divided into waves for safety reasons. COURSE RULES Participants must follow the route marked by the organizers. No shortcuts are permitted. Any participant found off the marked route will either be disqualified or directed to return to the marked route. If you have to leave the route to go to the bathroom, please leave your gear on the trail so you do not get missed by the Course Sweeps. Course Marshals will be located throughout the route to ensure participants follow the proper course. Participants must obey the instructions of course marshals or face disqualification. Should a participant become lost they should communicate their location using three whistle blasts followed by thirty seconds silence, repeated and await assistance. No outside assistance is permitted at any time during the event including at the transition areas and aid stations. Support-crews for relay teams consisting of a maximum of one driver and the athlete(s) not competing in the stage are allowed to set gear up and leave food & drink in the transition areas, but they cannot help participants when they arrive. Athletes are asked to assist other athletes in distress and to communicate to the nearest race official the location of any athlete requiring attention of the race organization or emergency response. Safety boats will provide assistance to participants who have cap-sized and cannot self-rescue on their own. However, this is limited to 1 instance of help. If help is required a 2nd time the participant will become DNF (Did Not Finsih) in the event and will be told to proceed directly back to the start/finish of the paddling leg, or if space and time permits will be transported by boat back to the Start/Finish. Drop-out/withdrawal from event: If a participant decides to drop-out of the race they must inform the nearest race official, course sweep, or marshal of their decision and hand over their race pinnie. IMPORTANT NOTE: Failure to hand in a pinnie upon withdrawal from the event could result in the initiation of an unnecessary search and rescue opeartion at the expense of the participant.

  • 2006 XTERRA Saipan Press Guide.Qxd
    AND THE SAIPAN SPORTS FEST MARCH 31 - APRIL 9 2006 PRESS GUIDE ssppoonnssoorrss The 2006 XTERRA Saipan Championship is presented by the Marianas Visitors Authority, and sponsored by the Pacific Islands Club, Paul Mitchell, XTERRA Gear, and Coca~Cola Beverage Co. (Micronesia), Inc. iinnttoo tthhee jjuunnggllee . AT THE 5th ANNUAL XTERRA SAIPAN CHAMPIONSHIP XTERRA is the world’s premier off-road multisport event. An extreme competition, the XTERRA format combines swimming with mountain biking and trail running. It has been described as one part triathlon, one part mountain bike race, and one part “survival of the fittest”. With its white sand beaches, warm water, jungle trails, and secret caves it’s easy to see how the XTERRA Saipan Championship became the “crown jewel” of the XTERRA Global Tour. In 2006 there will be more than 100 XTERRA races in 17 countries…but none quite like this one! The race starts with a 1.5-kilometer swim in the crystal clear waters fronting Micro Beach, follows with a 30k mountain bike ride that traverses island terrain to the top of Mount Tapotchau (the highest point on the island at 1,545 feet elevation) and finishes with a 12k trail run that takes competitors past World War II relics and through secret jungles and caves. The event is a qualifier for the 2006 Nissan Xterra World Championship held in Maui on October 29 - with 34 slots available to the top finishers in each age group (see page 12 for details). The race will also award points to amateur athletes racing in this year’s Nissan Xterra USA Championship Series.

Your understanding and cooperation with this plan is appreciated.

  • Fort Monroe Idea Report FINAL

  • Strength and Conditioning for Triathlon: the 4Th Discipline Free
    FREE STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING FOR TRIATHLON: THE 4TH DISCIPLINE PDF Mark Jarvis | 192 pages | 12 Sep 2013 | Bloomsbury Publishing PLC | 9781408172117 | English | London, United Kingdom Kniha: Strength and Conditioning for Triathlon (Mark Jarvis) | Martinus A triathlon is an endurance multisport race consisting of swimmingcyclingand running over various distances. The sport has its roots in multi-event races held in France during the s, with more specified rules and races forming during the late s as sports clubs and individuals developed the sport. This history has meant that variations of the sport were created and still exist, it also lead to other three stage races to use the name triathlon despite not being continuous or not consisting of swim bike and run Strength and Conditioning for Triathlon: The 4th Discipline. Triathletes train to achieve endurance, strength, speed, requiring focused persistent and periodised training for each of the three disciplines, as well as combination workouts and general strength conditioning. The evolution of triathlon as a distinct event is difficult to trace with precision. Many, including triathlon historian and author Scott Tinleyconsider events in early twentieth century France to be the beginnings of triathlon, with many three element multisport events of differing composition appearing all called by different names. The following year after competing in the event for the second time and placing in the top ten Johnstone desired more of this style of race and with equal emphasis on the swim, so he petitioned the chairman of the San Diego Track Club who told him he would add a race to the club calendar but the rest of the race was up to Johnstone to organise and at the same time to contact Don Shanahan so there wouldn't be too many "weird" races on the club schedule.
