On The Day

7.00-8.15am	1.A. Have your event kit? – Head towards Transition and look for the Check-In flags and tents. At Transition, your bib will be scanned to check you in to the event and place you into the prize draw. You will then receive your Arena Swim Cap. Once you have checked in, you will keep moving through transition to position your bike with one parent if necessary to help you. (Please note: more than one parent creates too much congestion in the Transition area). While you’re in Transition, ask a Help Team volunteer to write your bib number on your arm and leg. This will help the photographers send you the right photos after the event and give the organisers another point of reference to check your details if necessary.
	1.B. Don’t have your event kit? – Bring your confirmation email to the Admin Tent where you can collect your Event Kit and receive answers to any questions you may have. Once you have received your event kit, make your way to Transition and look for the Check In flags and tents.
