What Equipment do I need for the event?
VIEW FULL EQUIPMENT LIST HERE
Can I wear a wetsuit?
The water temperature will be measured by officials from Triathlon Australia. If the water is 24 degrees or above then it will be a non-wetsuit swim. If the water temperature is below 24 degrees competitors will be given the option of wearing a wetsuit. It is not compulsory to wear a wetsuit if the water temperature is below 24 degrees.
Do I need a Mountain bike?
You will require an off road bike as all the riding takes place on fire trails, dirt tracks and some single track that is all unsuitable for a standard road bike.
Do I have to wear clip in bike shoes?
You do not have to wear ‘clip in’ bike shoes. Depending on your confidence and skill level on a mountain bike, ‘cages’ or standard flat pedals with running shoes are another options. These may also speed up your transition times from bike to run.
What is a wave start?
In order to avoid having every competitor entering the water at the same time, competitors are divided into “waves” to give you plenty of room to swim and enter transition smoothly.
Waves will start at approximate 3 minute intervals. See the notice board at Race HQ for your wave start time.
Can I wear a hydration pack ?
Yes, hydration packs can be worn.
Is water provided on the course?
There will be a drinks station every 3 km on the run course and at the Finish area. Vompetitors are expected to be self sufficient for water on the bike leg.
There is NO OR LIMITED DRINKING WATER AT SOME EVENTS so you will need to bring enough water and drinks to last you before, during and after the race.
Can I carry a music device? (MP3, IPod, etc)
