Danskin Triathlon Information

Biggest change from previous years is that there will be USA Triathlon officials at the race and on-course to enforce the USAT rules. Danskin has made a conscious decision to make “rules awareness” part of the race this year. Make sure you read the athlete information regarding rules and most common rules violations.

In particular, pay attention to:

• Noodles and swim angels WILL BE ALLOWED.
• Bike helmets are expected to meet the CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission) standards, and there will be spot inspections.
• You must have your helmet on and buckled whenever you are on your bike. This includes BEFORE and AFTER the race itself.
• If you have a road bike (with the curled, “ram’s horn” handlebars), you must have bar-end plugs or you will not be allowed to race.
• No iPods, MP3 players, or earphones. Ever, Ever, Ever during a race.
• Review the drafting rules -- ride on the right, pass on the left, no riding 2 abreast, keep approximately 3 bike lengths between you and the bike in front of you.

Photo ID and USAT membership (either annual member or one-day license) are required to pick up your packet. If not a USAT annual member, and you did not purchase the one-day license when you registered, you will need to stop at the USAT desk first.
