What are you next to? What does your towel look like? What rack/row/line are you in? A good idea is to set up your area\, leaving transition and then walk towards your bike when coming from the pool.*NOTE: Transition will remain open once the race starts\, but please stay next to your bike to avoid collisions with athletes that are currently racing.**NOTE: Please have only what you will be racing with placed by your bike. No large bags\, buckets or bins are allowed next to your bike \n TEAM EVENTSSTANDARD AND SPRINT DISTANCE. The concept is simple: 1 person swims\, 1 person bikes and 1 person runs. The ‘baton’ (timing chip) is passed between each team member in transition. Teams are a great way to take on a triathlon with friends or family.  Same sex\, or mixed\, race in one category. \n CHARITY AND FUNDRAISING \n   The role of the Wetaskiwin Health Foundation is to: raise funds and enhance health services for residents of Wetaskiwin and surrounding areasraise awareness in the community about health care needsThe Foundation will be celebrating 30 years of fundraising in 2016.
