Team INFO:

Swimmer begins and wears the official velcro timing chip that acts as a relay baton. Your run partner is waiting patiently in the designated, TEAM ZONE located southern end of transition that is clearly marked. After the swimmer finishes, he/she runs to this point (~ 30m) and they swap velcro. Best that the swimmer stands still and runner bends down and take velcro off, & than place on their ankle as a relay baton. Head north out of the transition off the runner goes....easy as..swimmer can now enjoy a refreshment and rest.
