Rev3 will have two options for post race food. During your registration you had the option to purchase a Lobster Bake. If you purchased this you will have a red X on your bib. Your bib is what gives you free entry to the Lobster Bake, make sure you do not lose it!

If you did not purchase the lobster bake we will have a cook out with burgers, hot dogs, and all the fun stuff that goes along with it. Please be sure to have your athlete wristband on because that is what will allow you to receive your post race food.

We have a limited number of lobster bake tickets available for purchase for post-race food, available at the Rev3 Store).

I just want to say that in the last few days I have been able to get outside off the trainer, on my road bike and my TT bike and I am thrilled. I have been riding for a number of years, and have owned 2 custom bikes. Last year I bought a production bike and I was a little worried, going from a custom bike to one out of the box. So, I knew the fit for that bike was necessary. However, the changes Dave made were unexpected! I was thinking I needed a shorter stem, and he gave me a longer one – and then set my seat back! The changes, along with the cleat adjustment have made a definite difference that is great!

On my TT bike I was a little more skeptical. I have worked for quite a time getting the proper fit, including getting a different bike from my original TT bike. I had a really good season last year and felt that I had the fit dialed in. So, letting Dave take over (although he marked all of my original settings) was really in my mind an exercise in discovering that I had a good fit already. HOWEVER, Dave got me a longer stem, lowered my handlebars, and raised my saddle (WOW).and adjusted my cleats. I rode that bike yesterday with a smile on my face as I felt the improvements to my fit, opening up the cockpit and making me feel more powerful, and not compromising ANY comfort. Again, I didn’t expect any changes, but Dave made them, and they are GREAT!

I have been and will continue to tell everyone how necessary this is to their cycling experience! Thank you, Dave!

Sunday RACE DAY August 25, 2013

Welcome to this USA Triathlon sanctioned event. You are racing under the USAT Competitive Rules. In order to minimize misunderstandings on race day, I hope you will take the time to read the following summary of the Position Violations, which you know as the drafting rules.

I have reduced the Position Rules to the following concepts, which everyone can remember:

• Ride on the right side of your lane.
• Keep three bike lengths between yourself and the cyclist in front of you.
• Pass on the left of the cyclist in front, never on the right.
• Complete your pass within 15 seconds.
• If passed, you must drop completely out of the zone, to the rear, before attempting to re-pass.

Remember you are racing in a USA Triathlon sanctioned event and there are USAT certified referees on the course to ensure fairness in the competition. There will be NO WARNINGS if you commit a foul during competition. Triathlon is an individual event and you must take personal responsibility to understand the rules and avoid penalties. At the end of the race all citations by the marshals are reviewed by the Head Referee who then decides if a penalty should be assessed. The Head Referee’s ruling is final in the case of Position Violations and there are no protests or appeals of Position penalties.

Marshals commonly cite the following violations:

• Position– riding on the left side of the lane without passing.
• Blocking – left side riding and impeding the forward progress of another competitor
• Illegal Pass – passing on the right.
• Overtaken - failing to drop back three bike lengths before re-passing
• Drafting – following a leading cyclist closer than three bike lengths and failing to pass within 15 seconds.

Though Position Violations carry a time penalty for first offense, two citations will result in an additional penalty and if you are cited for three violations, you will be disqualified. Be sure to check the penalty sheet before you leave the race site and have a chat with the Head Referee if you have any questions.

Make sure your helmet is a CPSC approved model. All helmets legally sold in the US are CPSC approved but if you purchased your helmet in a different country it might be illegal for use in sanctioned events.

While on your bike, always have your chinstrap securely fastened – before, during and after the event! The chin strap rule is easy to follow, so don’t forget – that’s a DQ!

Wear your race numbers, don’t leave your trash on the course, and don’t carry or use any portable audio devices.

Remember to treat other athletes, volunteers, and officials with courtesy and consideration. Failure to do so is called Unsportsmanlike Conduct and you will be disqualified.

All that being said, I hope you have a great race, lots of fun, and achieve all your goals.

Procedures:

• All athletes must attend a pre race MANDATORY race briefing. No matter how many races you have done, everyone must attend this pre-race briefing!!!
