Volunteers Needed!!

One more question to ask of our Guelph Athletes! We are always looking for volunteers to help out Sunday at our Olympic Event. If you know of a local group or club looking to do some fundraising then this is a great way to do it! Much easier than selling chocolate bars or raffle tickets! 

 

We also welcome family and friends to help out! Receieve a t-shirt and food for the day! We appreciate everyones support in this effort- we want the day to be the BEST ever for everyone!

If you have would like to find out more please email dave.mucyk@ironman.com.

 

 
 

Step up your game with

Merrell M-Connect 

 

 

Merrell is happy to announce it is sponsoring the Subaru Triathlon Series once again this year. If you haven't already, make sure you check out the event lineup and register here today.

 

Just in time for this annual triathlon series, Merrell is excited to introduce its new M-Connect minimalist footwear collection, the number 1 choice for runners seeking a lighter, more flexible shoe to step up their game and improve their form.

 

One of our favourite shoes for triathlon racing is the Road Glove 2 for men and women, where the rubber meets the road. The simplicity of this shoe frees your sole thanks to its barefoot, road-specific design, connecting your feet with the ground like never before. It's back to basics with this high-performance runner, featuring cement construction for lightweight durability and a 0mm drop midsole to let your feet land flat. 

 

Learn more about the Road Glove 2 and the entire Merrell M-Connect series on the Merrell website, where you'll also find expert tips and tools to help you connect to your inner athlete.

Points of Interest     

 Please be aware that the park road leading in and out of the transition area has large speedbumps!  Please slow as you approach them. Also, people sometimes forget when they are returning to the transition.  Keep Alert.  

   Please remember that roads are not closed to vehicular traffic. Police are available throughout the courses to help with traffic flow.  
   Please stay right to allow others to pass you. Don't cut corners on the bike or run courses. 
 
For the Sprint Triathlon and Duathlon on Saturday all markers will be in BLACK. 
Runners in ALL races must run on the LEFT side of the road until the final kilometer where you will then switch to the RIGHT.  This eliminates any run cross overs on the course and keeps everybody safe.  
Each km of the run will be marked with a sign on the road 
Each 5km will be marked on the bike course 
 
Always be courteous of fellow athletes and encouraging to those new to the sport 
 
Please listen and respect the TO  officials on the course.  They are there for your safety and enjoyment of the race.  
 
Pay Attention: MP3 players etc are not allowed while racing and are subject to disqualification. 
Smile as you cross the finish line.  As always, Finisher Pix Photographers will be there to take your picture.  Pictures can be viewed after the event  on- line.    
 
Aid stations for the Olympic events
These will have water and Gatorade.  The 10km run has 3 aid stations which you will pass by 2, 2 times and 1, 1 time each , also with water and gatorade. That's approximately 1 every 1.5 km. 
 
Aid stations for Sprint Triathlon and Duathlon
5km run has 2 aid stations in which you will pass 2 times each to get gatorade and water.  
 
All: Please remember that if the day looks like it is going to be really hot and humid to plan accordingly.  Come well hydrated and rested.  Pack extra drinks for you and your family.  A snack bar that is run by the park is there for drinks and food for spectators.  Each athlete will receive a bottle of water at the finish line.  Please only take one!  We need to enforce this to ensure that those finishing later on in the day also get one.  
 
Please keep litter to a minimum by dropping your cup close to the station.    

Summer Fresh Post Race Food! 


  Summer Fresh Salads available to all athletes in the food tent! 

Thanks also to Subway, PowerBar, and Pepsi  for some extra treats!  After your event please come on over to the Post Race Food Area and make sure to be wearing your wristband you received during registration.

 Readers Digest Version of Bike Rules

  

1. Always keep right! 
2. When passed you must not accelerate! Allow the pass, then return the favour and pass them if you can.
3. Communicate! When you wish to pass let the person ahead of you know by shouting "on your Left".
4. Listen! Pay attention to the other cyclists.  If some tells you they're "on your left" move right as quickly as possible and let them pass safely.
5. Blocking is dangerous. Riding side by side with friends blocks the road for faster cyclists and cars!  You could be killed by a car.  At the very least you could be penalized.
6. Self Police. If someone is blocking your path and will not move to allow you to pass, make a mental note of their number and file a protest at the end of the race.  A good idea is to speak with others around them and ask them to do the same.  It's rare that only one person is held up.
7. Never cross the centre of the road!  Lines are not always painted on the road.  This also applies when cornering - cut the corner and you will be DQ'd.
8. Always assume the road is open to cars! You must share the road! At any time a car may enter the course from driveways etc. Always be mindful.

9. Know the Course. It is your responsibilty to know the course. Please look over the maps posted in this newsletter.
