Please do not stop in front of the transition area to unload your things, this really gets traffic backed up and will affect other racers getting to packet pick up and getting ready for the race - thanks! Remember, you are doing a triathlon, walking your bike from the parking lot will be a nice warm up! 3. Trash & Recycling - we will provide containers for both. Please, please, please do the right thing and dispose of your trash in bags or containers provided and put your plastic and cans in the recycling bins. Nothing is worse than picking up a hot banana peel at the end of race day - help us out, thanks! 4. Award Ceremony - we will not be saving awards for those that cannot attend the award ceremony. If you do place to receive an award, please ask a friend to pick yours up. We really want you to stick around for post-race festivities and cheer on racers.

We have moved up the road a bit to stage the race. Please click on the link above to see the new staging area and courses. The swim course, transition area and finish line are completely different, while the bike and run course are on much of the same courses as the past. We hope you like these changes! Map My Ride Course Maps With Elevation <a href="http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/36767358">Bike Course</a> <a href="http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/33934870">Run Course</a> SWIM COURSE: 400 yards The swim course is an open water swim in Double Oak Lake in Oak Mountain State Park. The water is always very calm. The calm water and the individual race start makes for a great open water swim for anxious racers or beginners. The swim start is an individual "time trial" type start. Each participant enters the water individually, approximately every 3 - 5 seconds. Your race number defines when you enter the water, with race number 1 being first. You enter the swim based on your race number, from lowest to highest number. Race Numbers are assigned based on your estimated swim time that you turned in on your entry form. Your racking position in transition is also organized by your race number. BIKE COURSE: 13 miles The bike course is on nicely paved roads with a bike lane in Oak Mountain State Park. Please use the bike lane when there is one available. For USA Triathlon rules, the bike lane will be considered staying to the far right, but you will not be penalized if you cross the white line that separates the bike lane from the main drive. The course a one loop / out-and-back course on the main park drive (Where Findlay Drive becomes Oak Mtn Park Road) and Oak Mtn Park Road (also known as Terrace Drive.) This beautiful course is moderately hilly with some nice fast sections as well. RUN COURSE: 3 miles The run course is out-and-back through the woods on a paved, but an unimproved road, so watch your footing. The run is a mix of flat and rolling sections. There will be hydration stations as you exit the transition area, at the 1.5 mile turnaround and about half-way to the turnaround (will hit this one twice.)   <a name="timing" id="timing"></a>EVENT TIMING & GETTING RESULTS & PHOTOS We use electronic timing chips, TriTats Body Tattoos, helmet numbers, bike frame numbers, and bib numbers to insure we keep track of you during the race and provide you accurate results.

Race overview in transition area. 7:30 am - Interval swim starts begin by participant race number. 11:00 am - Awards ceremony following designated last finisher.   </div> <div> <div align="left" class="sideTitle">Parking & Other Reminders</div> </div> 1. Please DO NOT PARK on Terrace Drive - this is the drive adjacent to our staging area and parking on the side of the road will inhibit race flow and visibility - there are parking lots just beyond our race site - keep driving to park in one of these lots, just a short walk back to the packet pick up and transition area 2. Please do not stop in front of the transition area to unload your things, this really gets traffic backed up and will affect other racers getting to packet pick up and getting ready for the race - thanks! Remember, you are doing a triathlon, walking your bike from the parking lot will be a nice warm up! 3. Trash & Recycling - we will provide containers for both. Please, please, please do the right thing and dispose of your trash in bags or containers provided and put your plastic and cans in the recycling bins. Nothing is worse than picking up a hot banana peel at the end of race day - help us out, thanks! 4. Award Ceremony - we will not be saving awards for those that cannot attend the award ceremony. If you do place to receive an award, please ask a friend to pick yours up. We really want you to stick around for post-race festivities and cheer on racers. Awards will take place as soon as possible after the last finisher - usually by 11 am. 5. Showers & Restrooms - there are shower and restroom facilities adjacent to your swim area on the lake front - easy access from our transition area, post-race activities and of course from your swim start/finish. 6. Park Usage Fee - Show your race confirmation email or race booklet to waive the $3 fee for Friday packet pick up, but you will have to pay the fee on Saturday. </div> <a href="https://www.usatmembership.com/default.aspx"><img src="http://team-magic.com/graphics/usat_logo.jpg" alt="usat" width="120" height="86" border="0" class="pic-l"></a>IMPORTANT RULES REGARDING RACE PACKET PICK UP Please review the basics below and open the links to the USAT Registration Rules and Most Commonly Violated Race Rules This race is sanctioned by USA Triathlon and Team Magic race directors Therese Bynum and Faye Yates are Certified Race Directors. 1.

The following link is to basic pages from the race booklet you will receive at packet pick up: race timeline, maps, rules, parking info, etc... Please take the time to review this now, especially if you are picking up your packet on race morning. Important Note! If you pick up your packet on Friday, bring a copy of your race instructions to show the front gate to waive the park entrance fee. Link to basic race instructions: <a href="http://www.team-magic.com/tmtri/bbt_race_instructions.pdf">http://www.team-magic.com/tmtri/bbt_race_instructions.pdf</a> THE BASICS: 1. You must present a photo i.d. and your USAT membership card (if you are a member) to receive your race packet. If you have lost your USAT card, please go to www.usatriathlon.org to print a temporary card. If you do not have your USAT card, you will be required to pay the $10 one day fee. If you do not have a photo id, you will not be able to race. If you are not a USAT member, you likely paid your $10 fee with your registration fee, if not, you will be asked to pay at packet pick up. 2. Parking: NO PARKING on Terrace Drive. This is your race course and cars will seriously impede the race flow. There is plenty of parking at the Canoe Area, Beach Area, and Picnic Areas. Note that the race staging has moved to the Park Admin Lot before the beach area lot where the transition was in 2006. 3. Biking before and after the event: the local police ask that you please obey traffic laws and wear a helmet when riding your bike before and after the event. 4. Toilets/Facilities: There are toilets and showers at the beach area restroom facilities and toilets at the registration area. 5. All racers must wear an AMB timing chip to be scored. You will pick up your timing chip on race morning at the white tent behind the finish line and return it at the same location when you complete the race. If you cannot complete the race, please turn your chip in at this location. YOU MUST HAVE YOUR PAPER BIB NUMBER TO SHOW TO PICK UP YOUR TIMING CHIP AND GET BODY MARKED ON RACE MORNING. 6. Wrist Bands: We will be placing a wrist band on each racer when you pick up your race packet. This wrist band is your "full access" pass to all areas of race weekend that are limited to racers, race staff, and race officials. Please keep this band on for identification purposes. It is intended to be for your safety and to control the race atmosphere. Thanks so much! Remember, you can always visit the race web page for complete race details: timeline, rules, maps, etc... <a href="http://www.team-magic.com/tmtri/bbtri.htm">http://www.team-magic.com/tmtri/bbtri.htm</a> Thanks for racing with us!
