Rubbish may be deposited in the allocated areas at aid stations. You will receive a stop/start penalty for littering. ■ You must obey road rules. Don’t pass on the left or cross centre lines. ■ iPods, MP3 players, or any other similar devices, are prohibited ■ The event can only happen with the support of Police and Main Roads. Due to safety reason, they have requested no riding on the Captain Cook Highway outside of road closure times. Drafting and Blocking ■ Cairns Challenge and Cairns Half is a non-drafting triathlon. ■ The draft zone of each bike on the course is a 3m x 12m rectangle. The front bicycle wheel defines the centre of the leading 3m edge of the draft zone. ■ When passing another competitor, you have 15 seconds from the time you enter this zone to complete the pass. If you are unable to complete the pass within this time, you must drop back out of the zone. ■ If you are passed by another competitor, you must drop back out of their draft zone. ■ If a technical official deems you to be drafting, you must serve a time penalty at the next Penalty Box. ■ You must keep as close to the possible to the left hand side of the bike course. Failure to keep to the left is considered blocking. ■ If a technical official deems you to be blocking, you must serve a time penalty at the next Penalty Box. Penalties ■ Technical officials will alert competitors of penalties by gaining the competitor’s attention. They may call your number, sound a whistle, and/or show you a yellow card. They will then instruct you what your penalty is for, and what you need to do. ■ There will be two penalty boxes on the course, one at Port Douglas and one prior to Transition 2. It is the competitor’s responsibility to stop at the next penalty box. Failure to report if required to, will lead to disqualification. Returning to Transition ■ You must dismount your bike at the designated location. ■ Your helmet must remain securely fastened at all times that you are in control of your bicycle. This includes while you dismounting, and until such time as you have racked your bike. Transition Procedure – Bike to Run As you dismount in the Bike Finish Chute volunteer ‘bike catchers’ will take your bike for racking. DO NOT THROW YOUR BIKE AT THE CATCHER as this will be deemed as unsportsmanlike conduct if reported and result in disqualification. Proceed into the Marquee to collect your Run Gear bag, taking care to check the volunteer hands you your numbered bag, and proceed into the Transition Marquee area. Gear bags will be hanging on racks in number order. Separate male and female change areas are inside the marquee and volunteers will assist you with your transition. You must enter the change area even if you only need to put on running shoes. You will not be allowed to change into any run gear outside the change marquee. All discarded bike gear must be placed in the emptied Bike bag and the bag handed to volunteers before leaving the marquee. 24 Urban Hotel Group Ironman 70.3 Cairns Competitor Info Booklet
