Guidelines:

The transition area will open at 7am for children to begin racking their bikes.

For children aes 6-8, one parent is allowed into the transiion area to help them set up their equipment.  These parents may remain in the transition for the swim-to-bike transition but must exit once the bike portion of their child's race begins.   These parents may not assist their older (ages 9-16) children inside the transition area whatsoever.

For children ages 9-16, we will have volunteers to assist with racking their bike and setting up their equipment.

Children will start the swim individually in sequence every 3-4 seconds rather than in a wave formation.
