RULES
During the height of the training season we will get 300+ members attending the summer training sessions. To ensure the safety of members the club has a strict policy of signing in and out at each session.
When participating in the summer training sessions at Gillie Lake, Oneida Shores or Jamesville, you must sign in before starting and sign out before leaving. This is to ensure everyone is safely off the training course. All members must be signed out no later than 8 p.m. Watch your time carefully and do what only what time will allow you to do.
SUMMER TRIATHLON TRAINING:
- When signing in you will be “marked” on the hand. This is so volunteers will know who you are in case of an emergency.
- If members are caught transferring stamps or marking non-members they will be not be no longer be able to participate in any trainings for the season and risk having membership revoked.
- Everyone must be signed in and ON THE BEACH by 5:55 p.m., to swim. If you are NOT signed in by 5:50, you will not be allowed to participate in the Open Water Swim (OWS).
- At the height of the training season we will be starting the OWS in waves. There will be volunteers checking hand stamps at the start of the OWS.
- If you fail to sign-out the event director will call to verify that you are okay and you will be issued a warning.
- If you fail to sign out a second time you will issued another warning and told that your privileges of using the summer training sessions are in danger of being revoked.
- If you fail to sign out a third time you will no longer be allowed to participate in any of the summer training sessions. It is the three strikes and you are out rule. We really don’t want to ban anyone from the training sessions so please remember to sign out.
BIKING:
- You must wear a bike helmet, strapped, when riding on the bike course or event area. No exceptions.
- NO headphones while on the bike.
- Do not ride two across – cyclist must be in a single file.
- NO drafting – cyclist must be at least two bike lengths from each other.
- If passing, you MUST announce “ON YOUR LEFT” EACH AND EVERY TIME. We don’t care if you say it once or a million times.
