PRE RACE DAY INFORMATION
TIMING CHIPS
PRE-RACE TRAINING
You will collect your Timing Chip and confirm your identity with the timing personnel at the exit of Bike Check-In. At this stage you will re-confirm your information and ensure that your race number matches your timing chip. All athletes will also be asked to confirm their number of race finishes at IMWA. Please ensure you put your Timing Chip in a safe place and remember to have it with you on race morning. Timing Chips must be worn on your left ankle. On race morning, your timing chip must be on to enter Transition. Officials will be checking this. If you do not start the race or pull out of the race for any reason, please return the Timing Chip to one of the Drop Out Clerks located at Information or if unable to reach this location to Event Personnel. If your Timing Chip is not returned or is lost, you will be charged $150AUD for a replacement. Timing results will include swim split, bike split, run split and finish time – overall and category results. If Timing Chips are not worn throughout the duration of the race, race results will not be available to that athlete. If a Timing Chip is lost during the race, you will need to inform Event Personnel in Transition, so that timing providers can do their best to replace that chip in order to record splits for the rest of the race. It is recommended you wear the strap supplied with the Timing Chip, using an alternative puts you at risk of losing the chip during the race. Lack of timing data may affect validity of category results & World Championship qualifications.
Remember the Road Rules. Do not ride two abreast on narrow road sections and obey all traffic rules. Be courteous to motorists. Wearing your helmet whilst cycling is compulsory in Western Australia and Police can issue on the spot fines for breach of this law. Make sure you lock your bike whenever you leave it.
