Dear parents, LANTAU CALVES 2011 AGEAS TRIATHLON It looks like Sunday will be a somewhat breezy and fresh, but altogether pleasant day for racing. If the rain stays away we'll enjoy more of the race and the post-race hot dogs! FINAL LIST OF PARTICIPANTS The list is at the bottom of this page. It includes your child's name, gender, age group and race number. Note that the letter A stands for 1998-1999, B for 2000-2001, C for 2004-2005 and D for 2003-2003. You may ask yourself why C and D have been swapped. Very simple: at the last race we had a lot of kids from 2003-2004, the youngest group (group "D"). Now we have a lot of kids from 2002-2003, and we didn't want to waste the many bike numbers (which we recycle) on a group with less participants (so the youngest group is now the "C" group). NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS A total of 122 Calves have signed up, a new record by a large margin! --- 1998-1999: 13 participants (3 female, 10 male) --- 2000-2001: 22 participants (6 female, 16 male) --- 2002-2003: 60 participants (27 female, 33 male) --- 2004-2005: 27 participants (12 female, 15 male) RACE KITS ARE READY The race kits are ready for pick-up at Sportworld (Block C, 5/F, Room 516, Discovery Bay Plaza) starting from 11:00 a.m. Friday 30 September to Saturday 1 October 5:00 p.m. Try to pick up your kit in time, as we want to avoid having to bring a bunch of race kits to the registration desk on race day. When you collect your race kit make sure to check its contents (see below); contact us if any items are missing, we will bring them to the registration desk on race day. RACE KIT ITEMS In the race kit envelope you will find: 1) Bike number --- a numbered white sticker on a piece of plastic with four holes --- to be put on the front of your bike 2) Zip straps --- four of them (or two big ones) to keep your bike number in place 3) Bib number --- waterproof numbered cloth, to be worn around on the front of your body during the bike and run 4) Either a Lantau Buffalos TRI BELT (if you ordered one) or 4/5 pins; use either for your bib number When you collect your race kit make sure to check its contents; contact us if any items are missing, we will bring them to the registration deck on race day. PREPARING FOR RACE DAY Make life easy for your child, yourself and us by doing the following: 1) Go over the bike and run course before race day; the bike course is a bit technical, with lots of sharp turns and corners. Your child will want to get familiar with it. 2) Put the bike number on the front of your bike before race day! 3) Put the bib number on your race shirt or on the tri belt before race day! 4) Prepare your swimming, biking and running gear, plus an extra layer of clothes before race day! 5) Make sure to bring your HELMET. No helmet, no race! 6) Before leaving the house write your child's race number on their upper left & right arms and legs; the letter (A, B, C or D) should be on top, followed by the first digit, and the second digit below that. RACE DAY Please read the instructions on the race page carefully, starting from "Useful info for race day". 1) In the morning of race day, before you leave, write your child's race number on their arms and legs with a waterproof marker (instructions see above). 2) Bring an extra layer of clothes for your child, as they have to wait a while in the swim transition area before going down to the bike transition zone. 3) Make sure to bring enough water for your child to drink before the race; there will be a water station during the race and drinks next to the BBQ after the race. 4) Approach the registration counter from the seaside promenade behind Siena Club, thank you. 5) At the registration desk you will get a Lantau Buffalos towel, a Sports Hong Kong magazine, and your race number written on arms and legs if you haven't done so already. You can still purchase Lantau Buffalos tri belts (HK$ 30) or collect any items that are still missing. 6) Take your child & bike inside the backside of Discovery College and walk down the stairs toward the transition area. 7) Take the stairs up to the swimming pool (the elevator might be too crowded) immediately after having dropped off the bicycle. 8) Upon arrival at the swimming pool your child puts her/his gear in the transition zone, walks to the outdoor waiting area and you walk up the stairs to the spectators area. 9) After the whole group has completed the swim stay at the spectator area until the group starts walking down the stairs. 10) Pick up any of your child's belongings that she/he may have left in the transition zone. Lost/forgotten items will be brought to the registration desk at a later time in the morning. 11) You can watch the start of your child's bike ride from the small spectator zone next to the starting line. 12) After the bike start you can stay in the spectator zone or go round to the backside of Discovery College to the grassy field on the other side of the building. DO NOT GO ALONG THE FRONT SIDE OF THE BUILDING, PLEASE. 13) Stay on the grassy field during the races, you can take your pictures there. 14) The hot dog barbecue & drinks stand (open from 09:00 a.m.?) will be behind the finish line zone, on the blue-coloured path next to Discovery College.
