Number Checkpoints
There will be series of 'secret' number checkpoints along the course.
Upon completion of each leg, it is the athlete's responsibility to
ensure that his or her number has been recorded by the timekeepers,
before tagging the next athlete or proceeding to the next leg. Besides the transition
compounds, there will be several number checkpoints on each mountain
bike and run course. These will be attended by
an official. It is the athlete's responsibility to ensure that his or
her number is recorded by the official. Failure to be recorded at a
number checkpoint will incur a minimum time penalty of 30 minutes.
Locals will be aware of many potential short-cuts, but should remember
that to take a short-cut may mean missing a crucial number checkpoint!<previous next>
