Please ensure you have your helmet on (with your helmet sticker on the front of your helmet) prior to entering Transition. You will need to place your helmet on your bike as you will have no access to your Bike Gear Bag on Race Morning. Competitors are responsible for ensuring that their bike helmet is in a safe working order, prior to presenting them at Transition Opening (Sunday). See the Triathlon Australia Rules for equipment standards at http://www.triathlon.org.au.

STREET GEAR BAG DROP
Basic first aid support can also be obtained at the Bike and Run Aid Stations.
Location: Street Gear Tent is located at the exit to Transition Time: 4.15am – 6.45am The Street Gear Tent is located at the exit of Transition and located within the recovery area. Your Street Gear Bag will need to be placed on your numbered hook. Please ensure that you have the gear bag sticker (located in your Race Kit) clearly stuck to the bottom of the handle. Your Street Gear Bag will consist of any clothes you require post-race. It is compulsory to use the Street Gear Bag provided.
It is strongly advised that you have adequate personal insurance regardless of whether you are an Australian resident or from overseas. We highly recommend that Australian residents hold valid private health insurance and that international athletes check with their travel insurance or personal insurance provider to confirm what they are covered for. Under Australian legislation, all non-Australian residents are not covered for medical costs or ambulance transport costs. If you have an accident you must pay for your own medical expenses and transport. Hence it is recommended you obtain adequate personal medical insurance or travel insurance with the relevant coverage.
No bike pumps will be accepted in the Street Gear Tent.
