One thing to be careful of is bike drop off and bag drop off. They are very strict about the procedure and exposing skin etc. Read the guide carefully. Pretty sure someone got a yellow card last year near me during drop off.


Sorry I'm not following, Someone got a penalty at the Saturday drop off? For not following the procedure or exposed skin?


It was a bit of a blur and its hard to know/remember what happened because it happened near me but not to someone I know.
There was a big commotion and someone got some sort of penalty, I think a yellow card but I will look later at the athlete guide to see if i can find the transgression. People got very upset. I can't remember if it was about putting the bike in the wrong spot or taking your shirt off in transition (on the day before the race!) or littering, but people were screaming and taking down athletes numbers. Seemed petty/crazy at the time.

ETA:
They don't seem to have an athlete guide anymore, which is weird. There is nowhere on the website which details what the rules are, looks like you HAVE to go to the MANDATORY meeting.

ETA II:
I think it was either taking the shirt off during bike drop off or maybe littering. Seem to be the only two that kinda make sense. There may have been a thread on this after the race last year. All this to say that the rules of the race might also apply during transition (chinstrap?) so be careful and ask questions during the mandatory meeting.
