Duxbury Beach Triathlon Pre-race Instructions
Some key points are listed here to keep you updated and informed as the 2010 Duxbury Beach Triathlon approaches. We’re in the final stages of putting on the best Duxbury Tri ever so bring your energy to the beach on Saturday, September 18.
Registration
Registration will take place on Friday, Sept. 17, from 3-7pm, at the Kingsbury Club in Kingston, MA. Registration is also on Saturday, Sept. 18, 6:30-8:05am exactly, at Duxbury Beach. If you registered online via Active.com, you do not need to sign the USAT 1-day waiver form, you did it electronically when registering. However, you must have a driver’s license when you register. You cannot pick up another person’s packet. If you are a USAT member, do not forget your membership ID. Finally, if you registered online and provided a fictitious USAT number, bring $10.
Relay Teams
All RELAY team members must fill out a 1-day USAT waiver form at registration on Friday or Saturday when registering. Nearly everyone on relays has pre-paid the 1-day USAT insurance so you only need to fill out the 1-day waiver. Please do that before getting in line to register.
Swim Course
The swim course will return to the pre-2009 swim course, i.e. alongside the Powder Point Bridge. The race begins promptly at 8:30am. 6 waves will go and those will be determined and posted on the website soon. Please ask for a WHITE swim cap if you feel you need special attention during the event so safety personnel can keep an eye out. If this makes you feel more secure in knowing you are being helped and thus it gets you across the bay, no shame in wearing one so that you can continue cycling and running!
Water Temperature
Water temps are expected to be 65-70 degrees, depending on weather that week and overnight temps as well. Wetsuits are highly recommended since morning air temps could be below 60 and water not much warmer. If you need one, now’s the time to go to a local tri/bike shop or go online and purchase one (google ‘triathlon wetsuits’). We’re predicting low 70’s at race start, low 80’s by noon – somewhere.
Parking
All beach parking will be at Blakeman’s lot, completely separate from the main lot and transition area. Please observe the no parking signs and no drop-off’s so that everyone can make it to the race a little sooner. If you choose to park at the Duxbury schools, be aware that this year you cannot return using the run-out lane on the bridge until every runner has crossed the bridge for the first time. It’s not recommended that you use the sidewalk on the bridge either since that’s for pedestrians without bikes. So, please plan on hanging out until the final cyclist has run over the bridge onto the run course. At that time you will be allow to use the bridge. Or just park at Blakeman’s!
Refunds/Transfers/Changes
Unfortunately we can no longer process any refunds, transfers or switches into relay teams or out of relay teams. Charity Entries remain open through Friday, September 17.
