Transitions

Transition 1 

The swim-to-bike transition area is called the bike corral, T1 or Transition One. It is located in the Bartlett High School Parking Lot. 

Each area is marked with a racer number. This 16-square foot space houses your bike on a stand and any gear you need.

There is one entrance into T1 (when running from the pool) and one exit out of T1 (when taking off on your bike). There will be an arch in the southeast corner of T1 with a sign indicating the exit. Walk or run your bike to the arch, but don’t get on your bike until:

  1. Your helmet is on and securely fastened
  2. You are out of T1, and
  3. You are past the timing mats.

Transition 2

Situated off Arctic Valley Road, approximately 0.25 miles past Moose Run Golf Course on the south side of the road, T2 marks the transition from the Bike to the Run segment.
