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.

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

 Medical  Fitness  /  Waiver  Please  ask  for  medical  help  if  you  have  the  slightest  hint  you  may  need  it  during  the  race.    There  will  be  an  ambulance  on  stand-­‐by  at  all  ;mes.  Note  also  that  

if   you   are   transported   by   ambulance   you   could   be   required   to   meet   costs  involved  unless  covered  by  an  appropriate  medical  fund.  Any  aid  given  by  race  

medical   personnel   on   the   course   is   permissible   and   will   not   lead   to  disqualifica;on,   excluding   the   swim   sec;on.   If,   however,   you   have   any   outside  assistance  you  may  be  disqualified.  

You  will  be  withdrawn  from  the  race  only  if  you  require  transporta;on,  IV  fluids,  or  if  medical  personnel  consider  your  con;nued  par;cipa;on  presents  a  

danger  to  the  health  or  welfare  of  you  or  others.  The  medical  aid  sta;on  at  the  start  will  handle  any  injuries  or  medical  problems  that  arise  prior  to  the  start  and

As  per  your  agreed  waiver,   if  you  have  any  medical  condi;ons  that  you  need  to  make  our  Medical  Director  aware  of,  please  email  [email protected].  

 

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.  Do  not  allow  them  to  cause  you   to  be  disqualified  by  being  on   the   course  with  you.   Think  of  all   the  training  you  have  put  in,  only  to  have  a  well-­‐meaning  rela;ve,  friend,  etc.  cause  this  to  happen  in  one  instant.    

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.  Tell  them  to  go  away  even  if  they  are  well  meaning  and  only  wan;ng  to  offer  encouragement.  They  can  s;ll  do  this  as  you  go  by.  We  have  enough  trouble  controlling  the  normal  traffic  flow  for  your  safety.
