Welcome
Thank you for entering the 2015 Cardiff Junior Triathlon. The aim of this information pack
is to ensure that you have both an enjoyable and safe day at our event.
Within this pack is an estimated race day itinerary, we would ask everyone to keep to
these times as it will be a busy afternoon of race waves.
Competitors please remember to have fun and cross the line with a smile, and spectators
please give all athletes as much encouragement as you can throughout the whole course.
Please remember that the timekeepers, marshals and race officials on the day are
volunteers and are giving up their time for this event. We ask everyone to respect their
decisions.

race day Marshals or Officials.

Swim:
Due to the lack of space on poolside there will be no spectators allowed on poolside.

progressing.

just trunks are used in the swim. Front crawl or breast strokes allowed only, No Back
Crawl.
Inside the pool area Marshals will instruct you where to place your towel, trainers / T-shirt.
Ensure that your race number is pinned to either your T-Shirt or number belt.
Note: Most competitors put their trainers on a towel, use a little talc and Vaseline in their
trainers to help dry their feet and get their feet into their trainers more easily, elastic laces
are a very good idea and save time too. You can leave your towel, swim hat and goggles
here along with your numbered bag as these will be collated by Marshals at the end of
each wave ready for collection at the end of the race.

with another swimmer. Your lane marshal will indicate when you have 2 lengths to go by
putting a float in the water in your lane position. Once you have completed your indicated
lengths exit the pool and put on your trainers, T-shirt or number belt. Then follow the
markers to the Transition T1.
