Transition
The transition area will be located in the main Salthill Car Park, which will be closed for the triathlon.
Half of the car park will be used for the athlete’s transition where bicycles will be left during the swim and run part along with the athletes gear. The way in and out will be constantly supervised by marshals until the end of the event.
The area will be secured by fencing or barriers that will contain up to 500 bicycles. It will be marshaled by officials who will only allow entry to competitors, who will have to show their race numbers going in and out the transition. The race number will have to match the bike.
Competitors will exit the swim from the slipway from the beach and will enter into the transition area, after a few yards.
Competitors will leave transition area by the usual entrance and exit car park, where marshals will supervise and facilitate the athletes to mount or dismount their bikes.
