| How a TEAM entry (relay) works: | You may participate as a TEAM for the Sprint distances (minimum age for Sprint is 16yrs). | ||
| A team consists of 2 or 3 members. Each team member competes in one discipline i.e. 1st team member = Swim, 2nd team member = Cycle, 3rd team member = Run. The Team event works like a relay. The team gets given a timing chip which will act like a batten and will get passed onto each team member in the transition area. Along with the timing chip, the Team also get 2 x race numbers which are worn by the cyclist and by the runner. The swimmer will get an official swim cap. | |||
| RACE BRIEFING | 6:50am for all competitors (Compulsory) | ||
| WET SUITS | A decision on wetsuits will be taken an hour before the start of the Sprint. Wetsuits for the event would be advisable as water temperatures usually cooler at this time of year. |

||
| SWIM CAPS | Competitors will be given OFFICIAL RACE Yellow swimming caps at registration | ||
| TRANSITON AREA | The Transition Area will open at 5:50am by the TSA Officials. Your bike, helmet and swim cap will be checked when you enter the transition area.
