Published updates and practical consequences for this specific race.

  1. Transition now has three access windows

    The provisional programme replaces the single morning window: Full, Aquabike LD/MD and Half waves at 08:45/08:49 use 07:00–07:30; later Half waves use 09:00–09:40; Short uses 09:40–10:10. Wear and show your accreditation wristband. These are final-preparation windows: Friday equipment check-in remains mandatory, and Saturday check-in still needs technical-delegate authorisation.

  2. The entry deadline has passed; focus on Friday

    TRICV reports the event full after registration closed on 28 September. For athletes already entered, the useful next step is reserving Friday for bib collection and equipment check-in. The Saturday morning exception needs explicit technical-delegate authorisation; it should not become the default plan for a late arrival.

  3. Short athletes: review your morning plan

    The current provisional programme places Short men at 11:15 and Short women at 11:18. Copy the wave that matches your entry into your morning plan and check it again before travelling. Short still means 1.9 km swimming, 41.3 km cycling and 7.25 km running here. Friday bib collection and equipment check-in remain mandatory; Saturday exceptions require technical-delegate authorisation.

A few things to do now.

Use the race details above to finish your own travel, kit and supporter plan.

  1. Block Friday 16 October for mandatory bib collection and equipment check-in.

  2. For Short, the current provisional starts are 11:15 for men and 11:18 for women. Match all other waves to your distance, sex and age group; 08:00 is the PRO start.

  3. Choose your final transition window by format and wave: 07:00–07:30 for Full, Aquabike and early Half; 09:00–09:40 for later Half; 09:40–10:10 for Short.

  4. Wear and show the accreditation wristband at transition. Confirm your chip and licence in your entry record.

  5. Agree a post-finish meeting point; the transition car park is a race venue, not a promised visitor parking space.
