Weather Contingency Plan
In the event of foul weather, the start time
of this event may be delayed by up to 1
hour. Should the weather conditions be
unsafe for the swim, this event will be
changed to a bike-run utilizing the same
distances as the triathlon. The duathlon
will use a time trial start based upon the
same order. If the weather makes it too
dangerous for cycling, the event will be-
come a 5 Km run for all participants.
CX7s Austin Cyclocross Festival, Nov 15-16, 2014

In our quest to provide the
healthiest and tastiest food
possible, we use only the
freshest ingredients avail-
able. We eliminated the use
of any oil or fat in the prepa-
ration of our beans. Our chips, as
well as any other fried items, are prepared in
canola oil, which is free of cholesterol and low
in saturated fats. Our tortillas are homemade
and prepared fresh hourly, without the use of any
animal products. It takes a little longer and
requires more personal atten-
tion, but we believe it is
worth it!
Please accept our warmest gra-
cias for letting us serve you. In
the rush of business sometimes we fail
to say gracias loudly enough, but we promise
your patronage is never taken for granted. Our
goal is to please you. Your compliments are
appreciated. If the service or food is not to your
satisfaction, please let the management know.
Locations in Kerrville, Fredericksburg,

Dear Friends:
Welcome to the 4th Annual Kerrville Triathlon
Festival presented by H-E-B!
At High Five Events, we look forward all sea-
son to our big nale in Kerrville, the seventh
event of the Texas Tri Series. The series begins
in Austin with the Rookie Tri in May and con-
cludes here in the beautiful and welcoming
town of Kerrville.
This year weve made a few additions and
changes that we think you will enjoy. Weve
added Aquabike (swim, bike) to the Quarter
and Half distances. In addition, weve elimi-
nated the mass swim start for each distance
and will implement a time trial start instead.
Plus we have special prizes for the people who
nish each stage of the triathlon the quick-
est - fastest swim, fastest bike, fastest run
and fastest T1 and T2. And speaking of prizes,
each distance has their own nisher medals
this year!
Thank you for choosing to visit Kerrville and
participate in the Kerrville Triathlon Festival.
We will do our best to ensure that you have a
fantastic experience!

Bike & Run Gear Check-In
All events at the Kerrville Triathlon Festival will use a two transition area format. T1 (swim to bike)
and T2 (bike to run) are in different locations approximately 2 miles apart. Participants will ride
their bicycles during the event from T1 after the swim to T2, where they will begin the run. After
packet pick-up there is MANDATORY bike check-in and run bag drop. This will require a trip
to T1 with your bike and a trip to T2 to drop your run bag. To enter the transition area each athlete
must have their race number affxed to their bike and their athlete wristband on their wrist.
Athletes will receive 3 bags along with their packet. There will be stickers
included with the race number that should be used to label each bag.
Bike Bag: After the swim,
all of your swim gear will
be transported from T1
to T2, so that all of your
belongings are in T2 after
the race. Anything you
wear during the swim that
you will not take with you
on the bike must be placed
into the Bike Bag after
the swim. This typically
includes goggle, swim
cap, and a wetsuit.
Morning Clothes Bag:
After the swim, all of your
gear will be transported
from T1 to T2, so that
all of your belongings
are in T2 after the race.
Therefore, any clothes that
you wore to the race site
that you will not be using
during the race must be
placed into the Morning
Clothes Bag. You must
drop off your bag at the
designated location out-
side T1 before heading to
the swim start.
Run Bag: This bag should
be used to hold all of
the items you will need
when transitioning from
the bike to the run. This
typically includes running
shoes, socks, hat/visor,
sunglasses, and nutrition.
This bag must be checked
into T2 on the day prior to
the event.
Run, Bike, and Morning Clothes Bags
Relay Information
The exchange point for each leg of the relay will be at the bike rack. After the swim, the
cyclist may remove the bike from the bike rack once the swimmer has arrived and the rack
spot and the timing chip has been exchanged. The runner may start the run from the rack
spot once the cyclist has returned and racked the bike. Each relay team member shall have
an R marked on their left calf.
+ Wave Starts
Please wear the swim cap provided in your participant bag.
Note: Some swim cap colors are repeated. Make sure you start with the
correct wave. The transition area will close at 7:15 AM. You must leave the
transition area when it closes.

Time Trial Swim Start
Each wave, with the exception of the Open wave, will be a time trial start. The time trial
start consists of starting one person at a time at approximately 2 second intervals. Partici-
pants will start with their assigned wave (eg. Intermediate, Men 40 & Over), and will line
up within their wave on a frst come basis. The time for each person will start when they
cross the swim start timing mat at the water's edge. We think you will like this new way to
start the swim - no more mass swim start!

Before your triathlon, have a system in place to check your equipment.
It is recommended that you start with what youll use frst in the tri and work through
to the equipment that you will use last:
1. Check your goggles, check that the strap
and nose bridge are not going to break on
the start line or during the swim, check that
the seals have not perished. If the lens is
scratched consider a new pair for racing and
keep the old pairfor the pool.
2. Check your wetsuit for potential tears,
check the seams are not frayed and likely to
split, if so get it fxed in enough time. Also
look for holes and cuts, these can be glued
and stitched to prevent water entering the
suit and to make the suit streamlined.
(next page...)
3. Check Your Bike. There is a lot to check here
so if you don't know what to do, get down to
your local bike store (and try to learn). Nothing
is worse than athletes arriving at the pre race in-
spection needing a new frame or another wheel
for safety.
4. Check your helmet, the plastic shell needs to
be frmly affxed to the foam and the strap should
not be frayed and needs to ft frmly. Check that
there are no cracks or dents as these will likely
not pass in a pre race check.
5. Check your running shoes. Look to see that
they are not worn out of alignment or that the
midsole is crushed. Also check that the elastic
laces or the laces and toggles are working well.
Check that they are washed clean and dry.
Equipment check continued...
+ VENUE INFO
Race Day Parking will be available near
the Family Sports Center for the Swim
and Bike Start, and at locations near the
fnish line. Shuttle buses will be provided
in the morning on race day to transport
athletes and spectators from the park-
ing lots near the fnish line to the swim
start and T1. It is recommended that
participants park near the fnish line and
take the shuttle bus to the swim start, or
arrange a ride with a spectator.
Parking
It is a goal for each event that we leave
the venue in a better condition than
when we arrived. High Five Events and
Jack & Adams Bicycles have put in
place the following programs to keep
the venues we use clean:
Plastic bottle drinking water has been
replaced with reusable bike bottles and
easy water lling stations.
Recycling receptacles are located
next to each trash receptacle.
A waste crew is on duty for the full
duration of the event to ensure the
maximum amount of recycling.
The entire course is cleaned of trash
after the event, even if the trash was
there before the event.
100% online registration for partici-
pants and volunteers.
Post event food and beverage op-
tions that reduce waste and maximize
recycling.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!
Spectators
Spectators are welcome to roam
the site and cheer on their friends
and family members. There are
very few places that specta-
tors will not be allowed. Please
do not challenge volunteers or
jump fences. The volunteers are
there to help ensure the safety of
the athletes. Spectators are not
allowed into the transition area.
Spectators are welcome to help
themselves to water. Some of our
partners will also be giving away
free samples, or selling food. Of-
fcial race food and drink is for
the athletes and volunteers only.

For a complete list of USAT rules, please refer to
the most up to date version at: usatriathlon.org/
events/rules.aspx
Here is a logical progression that you may want to go through
when you get to the race site:
1. Arrive Early! A half hour won't be
enough time to get everything done. Give
yourself an hour, even more if you can, so
that you won't be rushed.
2. Make sure you have your Race Number
and pins or number belt, Swim Cap, bike
frame number (this should already be on
your bike), and helmet number.
3. You will need to get Body Marked.
Body Marking is essential so that the race
organization knows who you are if you lose
your number, and the photographers use it
to identify your photos. You should have
your race number with you when you go to
get Body Marked.
4. Your bike should already be on the
rack in the transition area (the big fenced
in area with the bike racks) because there
is mandatory bike check in the day before
the event. Your bike should be racked by
either hooking the seat over the top rail of
the bike rack, or by hooking the handlebars/
brake levers over the top rail. Make sure
that your tires are pumped up and that your
bike frame number is on the bike. Please
be considerate towards your fellow partici-
pants and do not hog space in the transition
area. There should be enough room for at
least 7 bicycles on each rack.
5. Be sure to put your timing chip on be-
fore exiting transition for the fnal time be-
fore the start. The chip should go around
your left ankle using the strap provided.
The chip must be worn throughout the en-
tire race.
Now that your bike is racked and you have
your stuff from registration, and if you arrived
early enough, you should have plenty of time
to get ready to race. Heres what to do next:
1. First off, you need to do something with
that race number. You have to fnish the
race with the number on the front of your
body, so you can either use the pins you
were given to pin it to the shirt youll wear
during the race, or you can use a number
belt if you have one. The number must be
worn during the run.
2. Next, organize your gear next to your
bike. Make sure you have your bike shoes
laid out so that they are easy to get into.
Have your helmet either on the ground near
your shoes or on your handlebars, with the
strap undone so that its easy to put on. A
good idea is to have your helmet sitting
upside-down with your sunglasses in your
helmet. That way its hard to forget either.
Make sure you have your water bottles
flled as well.
3. Your running shoes, hat and anything
else youll need on the run should already
be in your Run Gear Bag that you checked
into T2.
4. Put any clothing and items that you may
have worn to the race site into the bag la-
beled Dry Clothes Bag with your number
on it, and be sure to turn it into the Gear
Bag Truck when you exit transition to head
to the swim start.
5. Make sure you have your Swim Gear Bag
at your transition spot next to your bike.
Youll put all of your swim gear (wetsuit,
swim cap, goggles) into this bag before you
get on your bike. The event staff will col-
lect the bags and transport them to T2 so
that all of your gear is there when you are
done with the race. (next page...)
+ GENERAL ADVICE
24 | The Kerrville Tri
6. You should be pretty organized by now
so you can use any spare time to familiar-
ize yourself with the fow of traffc once
the race starts. Figure out where the swim
fnishes
and where youll have to run to get your
bike. Locate a fxed landmark (garbage
cans may get moved) or count the number
of bike racks to your bike, so that you dont
get lost looking for your bike. Its like look-
ing for a needle in a haystack if you dont
have some idea where to start.
7. After the swim, you will enter the transi-
tion at one end and leave at the other. When
you return you reverse things. That is, the
bike starts and fnishes at the same side of
the transition area, and the run goes out
where the swim came in.
8. It's also a good idea to do a walk or
warm-up run of the start of the run course
and fnish. That way you won't get lost
starting the run and you'll have some good
landmarks as you near the fnish line. It's
always nice to know when you are nearing
the fnish line, so if you have some visual
cues you'll be more comfortable.
9. The best advice for any new triathlete is
to get to the swim start early and scope out
the swim course. Take some time to fgure
out how you are going to sight the buoys
and maybe pick out some land marks along
the way to measure distance. The swim is
often the most daunting part of a triathlon
and open water swimming is different than
pool swimming. When you can't see the bot-
tom and there are no lane ropes people often
freak out a bit and then they have trouble
swimming. Factor in any trouble navigating
and you've got a long swim on your hands.
Take some time to get comfortable in the
water and with the fact that you can't see as
well. Practice sighting the buoys so that you
won't get lost. The more time you spend get-
ting comfortable, the less time you'll spend
panicking.
If you are a weak swimmer or a beginner,
please stay to the back of the pack. This
not only keeps you from getting clobbered,
but it also helps those stronger swimmers
get out of your way faster. One more point
about the swim. You may see people at the
race with wetsuits. You dont need to have a
wetsuit to race, so dont worry if you dont
have one. We will take the water tempera-
ture on race morning and let you know if
wetsuits are legal. Check the USAT rule in
this guide for more info.
Heres an exam-
ple of how you
can set up your
transition area.
