Transitions Shift Duties

Transitions Team is very excited to have you as a volunteer for the weekend of Wildflower. The Team Leaders and Sub-Committee decided to give all of you FRIDAY OFF so you can settle into Beach City. All we ask is that you work very hard for us on Saturday and Sunday.

The Transitions Area (TA) of a triathlon is where it happens Rain or Shine. We are the first up in the morning and the last to go back to beach city at night. Having a well staffed transitions area is a key element to a successful race for these athletes.

Volunteer Duties:

  • Direct Athletes to their bikes
  • Monitor flow of athletes in and out of TA
  • Provide security for the area
  • Athlete body marking
  • Crowd control in and around perimeter
  • Cheer on the athletes
  • Run the Transitions Aid Stations
  • Clean area of debris

Backpack must haves:

  • Water/Snacks
  • Workout Towel
  • Sunscreen
  • Sweatshirt
  • Extra Shoes
  • Visor, Hat (Cal Poly preferred)
  • Sunglasses
  • Camera

TRANSPROTATION:
Early morning shifts:

  • Best Choice! Eagle One, which is the blue people carrier on the water in Beach City. Leaves dock at 5:30 AM sharp
  • White Vans will be driving around Beach City 5:00-5:45 AM
  • Orange School Bus, this is not the fastest, but if you are running late use it!!!
  • Walking (about 1 mile)

Afternoon shifts:

  • Walk

No volunteer can leave early from their shifts. If you have afternoon shifts on Saturday and Sunday, you have to make sure you are on time to check in.

To Return to Beach City:

  • All volunteers must walk (no one can get into beach city until 2:00pm or until shift is done)
  • On Sunday, no one is allowed to leave the lake until 2:00pm or until shift is finished which may be up to 4:00pm

Any questions or concerns please direct them to your Volunteer Rep, Sub-Committee or Team Leaders. We are going to have a wonderful time. All the Transitions Team members would like to thank you for your commitment to putting on the best triathlon in the World!!!

Note: Lunches will be provided for all volunteers Saturday and Sunday in the TA
