Welcome from our

RACE DIRECTOR On behalf of the dedicated and enthusias;c team at Elite Energy, welcome to the 11th year of the Huskisson Long Course Triathlon Fes;val.

The “Husky” Long Course Triathlon Fes;val is now established as one of Australia’s most beloved Long Course events. Over 11,000 long course athletes have crossed our finish line since the first race in 2006, and it con;nues to be one of the most an;cipated events on the triathlon calendar.

But this event is more than just a long course triathlon. It is a true fes;val with a packed weekend program that includes Sprint and En;cer distance triathlons, an Ocean Swim, Fun Runs, MINIMAN kids’ triathlon, and our biggest ever Health & Lifestyle Expo.

Huskisson, and in fact the whole Shoalhaven area, is a spectacular spot to race and holiday with great local cafes and restaurants, coupled with a full range of accommoda;on from camping, cabins, motels through to beach front homes. There is something for everyone in this part of the world.

We all hope you will have ;me to also enjoy the wonder and scenic beauty of the Huskisson and Jervis Bay areas, and in fact Shoalhaven as a whole. We have included some suggested ac;vi;es and local aWrac;ons at the end of this booklet

As any triathlete knows, volunteers are the lifeblood of these events. I am pleased to advise that more than 500 people from the surrounding areas have volunteered to support you over race weekend, and each one of them is commiWed to geYng you to the magic of the finish line. These wonderful people of all ages are well aware of your dedica;on and commitment to the task you have personally set. Please take the ;me to say thank you to this great team before, during or a[er the race -‐ they are inspired by you and understand the sacrifices you have made just to get to the start line. Please respect them and the community at large by leaving the surrounding areas as clean as you found them.

Finally, the team at Elite Energy hopes you enjoy your experience and the challenge of the Huskisson Long Course Triathlon Fes;val and wishes you the best race possible.

See you at the finish line. Mark “Emo” Emerton Race Director CEO – Elite Energy Pty Ltd

Sunday-‐ Long Course During the cycle leg of the Husky Long Course Event, Dra[ing, Blocking, Illegal Pass, Helmet and LiWering infringements incur a 5-‐minute ;me penalty to be served at the Penalty Box located approx. 100 m before the end of the cycle lap, prior to the turn back into the transi;on area. Failure to stop at the Penalty Box at the end of the lap in which the infringement occurred may result in a Disqualifica;on (DQ). In all events, 2 PenalFes may result in a DisqualificaFon. To minimise any misunderstanding on race day, the following summarises how you can avoid breaching the rules. • Avoid a BLOCKING infringement by riding on the le[ side of the bike lane • Avoid a DRAFTING infringement by… 1. Keeping 7 or 12-‐metres between yourself and the cyclist in front of you – front wheel to front wheel 2. Comple;ng your pass within 15 or 25-‐seconds 3. Dropping back outside the dra[ zone once passed and before aWemp;ng to re-‐pass • Avoid an ILLEGAL PASS infringement by passing other athletes on the right. • Avoid a LITTERING infringement by not throwing away ANYTHING except when approaching or exi;ng aid sta;ons. • Avoid a HELMET infringement by always having your chin strap securely fastened when moving with your bike. A SPECIAL NOTE ON WETSUITS (if it is wetsuit swim) note the extract from the Australian Race Compe;;on Rules with regard to wetsuits: “2 SWIMMING CONDUCT 2.1 When wetsuits are allowed, all of the components of the wetsuit will fit to the athletes’ body Gghtly; “ If you have a wetsuit that has neoprene or carbon fibre flaps on the forearm to increase the pull through the water, these suits are not legal. Other common rule infringements are… • UNAUTHORISED EQUIPMENT – absolutely no cell phones, MP3 players, Oakley Thumps, iPods or other audio listening or communica;on devices.

OUTSIDE ASSISTANCE – do NOT accept any assistance from anyone other than race personnel and do not have non-‐racers ride or run alongside you. Triathlon is an individual event and it is your responsibility to fully understand the rules and avoid infringements. A Technical Official’s ruling is final in the case of Dra[ing, Blocking, and Illegal Pass infringements (Judgment Calls) and these are not subject to either protest or appeal. There is no Penalty Box on the Run course so if you receive an infringement on the run leg you will serve an on-‐course Stop/Start Penalty with the Technical Official. Conduc;ng personal toilet other than at the oncourse toilet facili;es provided may result in a DQ. Remember to treat other athletes, volunteers and officials with courtesy and considera;on as failure to do so is Unsportsmanlike Conduct and may result in a DQ. I sincerely hope you have a great race, lots of fun, and achieve your Triathlon goals. Peter Shields Race Referee Husky Long Course

Please note that the bike check-‐in is a safety precau;on to monitor basic soundness of your bike, and is essen;ally a visual check on obvious defects. It is not a cer;fica;on of roadworthiness by race officials that your bike meets any specific minimum criteria or a guarantee it will not break down during the race. It is your sole responsibility to ensure the mechanical and safe opera;on of your bike

prior to and during the race.

Timing All Athletes will be ;med with a Chip Timing System provided by Mul; Sport Australia, and involves the use of an electronic chip aWached to an ankle band. Your responsibili;es as a compe;tor include:

When you register on Saturday 20th February, you will be issued with a Timing Chip.

You must wear the Chip at all ;mes while racing. The ;ming band with the chip must be aWached to your le[ ankle before you register on Sunday morning for the swim. You must leave it on un;l you finish the en;re race. It is a means of recording your finish ;mes across the special ;ming mats located at the end of each leg of the race and other check points (turnarounds etc.).

At the comple;on of the race you will be required to remove the ;ming band and hand it to Officials prior to leaving the secured finish compound area. If you fail to register for the swim on race morning (Sunday), you are s;ll responsible for returning the chip to race headquarters at the finish area.

As you have acknowledged on your entry contract, the ;ming chip and band is on loan and you are commiWed to returning the band intact with the chip to the Elite Energy Pty Ltd or pay an AU$150 fee.

Do not lose or forget your chip on race day. Limited replacement chips will be available at registra;on, but there is no guarantee that one will be supplied to you. You will remain responsible for the return of the original chip and any replacement chip or the cost of them.

It is impera;ve that you return the ;ming band to the Race Office should you withdraw from the race at any ;me. It is essen;al for us to know where you are on the course at all ;mes for your safety and our ability to post accurate official results post-‐ race.

The Race Office also needs to be advised of compe;tors who may be transported from the course direct to the Medical Recovery Area at the Finish Compound

The course is a one lap 2 km open water clockwise triangular shaped swim in the crystal clear waters of Jervis Bay with a beach start on Huskisson Beach.

Outside Assistance There are sufficient viewing areas on the swim, cycle and run legs for your family, friends, coaches and supporters to see you during the race.

Officials at Aid Sta;ons and on the course, as well as the Police, have the authority to report to the Race Referee to disqualify and take you off the course

for a breach of this race rule. There is absolutely no provision for having anyone running, walking, cycling, driving beside or near you.
