CAPITAL OF TEXAS TRIATHLON

From R & B Sports Welcome to the 22nd Annual Capital of Texas Triathlon.

This will be our second year as part of the Race to the Toyota Cup Triathlon Series and we truly are hosting an international field of professional triathletes.

Additionally, we will be hosting some of the world’s best physically challenged multisport athletes as they compete in the 2012 USA Paratriathlon National Championship. Athletes will not only be racing for the National Championship, but also to represent the United States at the 2012 Triathlon World Championships. To show even more support for these dedicated athletes, the Challenged Athletes Foundation has been selected as the 2012 CapTexTri primary beneficiary.

New for 2012 is the First Responders division that is open to law enforcement, firefighters, and emergency medical personnel. The First Responders will now receive special recognition along with the Military and Collegiate divisions.

Since its move in 2002 to the Downtown Austin location, the CapTexTri has been held on Memorial Day. As part of our commitment to this national holiday, we started the Wounded Warrior Dinner in 2010 as a stand-alone fundraiser held in conjunction with the CapTexTri. The purpose of the Wounded Warrior Dinner is to honor the men and women of our Armed Forces who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the defense of our country and to raise money for Operation Rebound, a very worthwhile program that assists in the recovery and physical rehabilitation of severely injured military personnel through sports including triathlon. We hope that many of the participants in the CapTexTri will choose to attend the dinner and show their support of this very worthy charity. We also hope everyone will take a moment somewhere during the race to remember what these brave men and women have sacrificed for our safety and freedom.

On behalf of R & B Sports, the CapTexTri Organizing Committee, and the hundreds of volunteers, we want to thank you for racing with us on Memorial Day. Our goal is to provide you with an event that is second to none and that you have a fun, fast, and rewarding experience at the 2012 Capital of Texas Triathlon.

CAPITAL OF TEXAS TRIATHLON

Welcome to the City of Austin, Texas.

On behalf of the citizens of the City of Austin, it is my great pleasure to welcome all of you attending the 2012 Capital of Texas Triathlon, the Race to the Toyota Cup, and the USA Paratriathlon National Championship. We are delighted that Austin is hosting these very special events.

I do hope you will find time to enjoy some of the special things about Austin while you are here.

We are particularly proud of our beautiful natural environment and our thriving cultural life.

The Wildflower Center in Southwest Austin, the spring-fed Barton Springs pool, and the hike and bike trails around Lady Bird Lake are just a very few of some of Austin’s well-known attractions.

Austin’s cultural scene includes live music shows at any of our hundreds of local venues, as well as museums such as the Austin Museum of Art, the Blanton Museum of Art on the UT campus, the Washington Carver Museum and Mexic-Arte Museum downtown. We are privileged to be the home of outstanding historical museums as well: the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum, the French Legation Museum, the O. Henry Museum, the Lyndon Baines Johnson Presidential Library & Museum at the University of Texas. And of course, you won’t want to miss visiting the Texas State Capitol or Austin City Hall.

All in all, I am confident you will find that Austin truly has something for everyone, and will be an exciting venue for the Capital of Texas Triathlon.

Again, welcome to Austin, and enjoy your visit!

Sincerely,

Lee Leffingwell

Our Beneficiary is the Challenged Athletes Foundation Established in 1997, Challenged Athletes Foundation® (CAF) grew out of a desire to assist one athlete paralyzed in a triathlon. From this modest beginning arose a more important mission to make sure people with physical challenges have the same freedom to enjoy sports as everyone else. It is the mission of CAF to provide opportunities and support to people with physical disabilities so they can pursue active lifestyles through physical fitness and competitive athletics.

CAF believes that involvement in sports at any level increases self-esteem, encourages independence and enhances quality of life.

The Wounded Warrior Dinner is our fundraising dinner that is held on Saturday, May 26th at the Downtown Hyatt. Presented by BAE Systems, the Dinner will feature “stories to and from our heroes” and will include two-time Paratriathlon World Champion Melissa Stockwell; John Register, Paralympian and Director of Veteran Affairs at the United States Olympic Committee; and Nico Marcolongo, Program Director of Operation Rebound with the Challenged Athletes Foundation.

The Challenged Athletes Foundation’s Operation Rebound® program is the premier sports and fitness program for American military personnel, veterans and first responders with permanent physical disabilities. It provides unparalleled opportunities to pursue active, athletic lifestyles by offering access to funding for equipment and training and competition expenses, Military Medical Center Physical Training (MMCPT) and sports clinics.

Swim Waves & Start Times

TH E P R E M I E R TE X AS TR I ATH LO N

CAPITAL OF TEXAS TRIATHLON

Swim Course Olympic Race: 1500 Meters Sprint Race: 750 Meters First Tri: 400 Meters Swim Start Dock start for professionals.

Deep water start, perpendicular to shoreline just off the dock, for everyone else.

Swim Caps Each athlete is required to wear the swim cap included in the race packet. Swim cap colors are specific for each wave start.

Wetsuits Each age group participant is permitted to use a wetsuit without penalty in any event sanctioned by USA Triathlon up to and including a water temperature of 78 degrees Fahrenheit. Historically, the CapTexTri swim has always been wetsuit legal. Typical water temperature on race day is usually in the mid to high 60s and occasionally in the low 70s.

Swim Course Markings The swim courses will be set with the help of the Austin Rowing Club. We plan to use a submerged cable system similar to what is used in rowing competitions which has very small red bobbers marking the cable. Very large marker buoys will be used to mark the turns and smaller intermediate marker buoys to mark the course.

Swim Staging Swim staging by wave starts will be on the trail to the west of the Stevie Ray Vaughn statue. Family, friends, and spectators will be allowed in the area but will be separated from the staged athletes by crowd control fencing.

Swimming Anxiety Anxiety at the start of the swim is the largest hurdle most athletes face in a triathlon. We strongly encourage everyone, especially first-timers, to have at least one practice swim in open water. We highly recommend that your practice be at Barton Springs Pool which will nearly duplicate the water temperature and conditions of Lady Bird Lake. If you experience overwhelming anxiety when you start your race, stop and do everything possible to calm yourself down and catch your breath. Signal to the water safety personnel that you need assistance. It’s better to take a couple of minutes to regroup in order to continue than to risk your safety.

CAPITAL OF TEXAS TRIATHLON

If you do not finish the swim, it is mandatory that you report to the timing team or an official of the race to notify you are out of the water and then surrender your chip.

Bike Course Olympic Race: 40 Kilometers (4 LAPS of the 10K bike course) Sprint Race: 20 Kilometers (2 LAPS of the 10K bike course) First Tri: 10 Kilometers (1 LAP of the 10K bike course)

NO DRAFTING IS ALLOWED. NO BIKE COURSE HYDRATION STATION Bike Course Protocol It is EXTREMELY important to stay to the right side of the road except to pass. The bike course will get crowded and adhering to this simple rule will allow faster riders a clearer road on which to race.

Bike Cut-off All cyclists need to be north of 11th and Congress on their last lap by 11:00 a.m. Any cyclists reaching this point after the cut-off will be turned around and directed to finish the lap that they are on from that point.

Athlete Safety/Maintenance Recommendations You will need to provide your own fluids for the bike. If it is hot (highly probable), the best time during the race to hydrate is on the bike. Try to drink at least 8-to 12-ounces of water or fluid replacement/ energy drink on each lap of the bike course. Carry spare tubes, pump and any other equipment that you feel you might need.

Lap Counting All athletes are responsible for keeping track of how many laps they complete. Timing mats will be located at the 1st and Riverside U-turn to confirm that you have completed the proper distance.

There are 4 hydration stations located on the run course as well as the Clif Shot Energy Zone.

#1 is just after you enter the run course and is staffed by Gilbert’s Gazelles.

This station will be hit going out and coming back at ~Mile 1.4/4.5 and again at ~Mile 2.7/5.8. This station is staffed by BAE System and will have water and Gatorade. #4 is located at 4th and Brazos at ~Mile 2 on the first lap and ~Mile 5.1 on the second lap.

Transition Procedures CapTexTri is a Secure Transition at all times!

Only PARTICIPANTS with proper WRISTBANDS are allowed in or out of Transition.

Mandatory Bike Check-in begins at noon on Sunday for Olympic distance participants, 2:00 p.m. for Sprint and First Tri. Bring your helmet when you check your bike to make sure it is approved. You only need to leave your bike overnight. When racking your bike, the side of the rack with your number is the side where your bike wheel touches the ground.

Olympic Distance athlete check-in/body marking begins at 5:15 a.m. and the Olympic Distance Transition opens at 5:30 a.m..

Sprint Distance athlete check-in/body marking begins at 7:00 a.m. and the Sprint Transition opens at 7:15 a.m.

First Tri athlete check-in/body marking begins at 7:15 a.m. and First Tri Transition opens at 7:30 a.m..

Due to the large numbers of athletes that require body marking in such a short time frame on race morning, we encourage you to do your own body marking. Markings must be done using an XTRA LARGE or JUMBO black permanent marker (no standard size Sharpies). Marking must be BOLD AND LEGIBLE and easy to read by the officials and photographers from a distance. Athletes need to be marked as follows: Right Upper Arm Left Upper Arm Right Calf

RACE # in stacked format RACE # in stacked format AGE (remember your age designation is as of 12/31/2012)

Apply sunscreen AFTER you have been body marked.

Neutral Bike service will be provided by Mellow Johnny’s at the Mandatory Bike Check-in on Sunday and on race day. Bicycle mechanical support will be available inside each transition area during the race.

There will be a MANDATORY HELMET CHECK as you enter transition on race morning. Your helmet will be checked to ensure it is CSPC approved and in good condition. Bikes will not be allowed outside the transition area for warming up prior to the events. The transition area will have assigned racking by race number. When racking your bike, the side of the rack with your number is the side where your bike wheel touches the ground. There is a limited area available for each athlete to rack their bike and setup a transition site. Please keep your gear to a minimum and organized throughout the event. Remember, NO GLASS CONTAINERS, are allowed in transition.

FOR THE SAFETY AND RESPECT OF ALL PARTICIPANTS, ONLY AFTER THE LAST OLYMPIC, SPRINT AND FIRST TRI PARTICIPANT BEGINS THE RUN WILL TRANSITION OPEN TO ALLOW PARTICIPANTS WITH PROPER WRISTBANDS TO RETRIEVE AND REMOVE THEIR EQUIPMENT AND BIKES (~11:00 for Olympic distance, 11:30 for Sprint and First Tri). YOUR WRISTBAND and RACE NUMBER MUST MATCH YOUR BIKE NUMBER TO BE ALLOWED TO REMOVE YOUR EQUIPMENT. ANY EQUIPMENT LEFT AFTER 2:00 p.m. WILL BE UNSECURE.

Volunteers Please be considerate of the volunteers who have taken their time to support this event. Without them, there would be no race. Volunteers can be identified by their special Support Team shirts. Please be generous with your “THANK YOU’s”. The volunteers will do their best to help when asked, but they may not know all of the answers. You, the athlete need to know the course and layout of the general race site.

It is a very good idea to take some time when you are checking in your bike on Sunday to get yourself familiar with ”the lay of the land”.

Force Majeure The CapTexTri event is very complex in nature and involves many different parties and their direct or indirect relationships with the race may impact our response to weather and non- weather situations. Due to our urban setting, many different perils may cause the cancellation or delay of the start of the event or may even force changes to the course and distances of the disciplines, including but not limited to: potentially canceling one or more of the disciplines, altering or changing the course or distance of one or more of the disciplines, and changing the order in which one or more of the disciplines are completed or cancellation of the event. There will be no refunds granted for any reason including any alterations to the events, including cancellation.

Lost and Found Lost and Found will be located at the Volunteer check in tent which will be located near the bike mount line. After 2:00 p.m., Lost and Found will be moved to the Olympic transition bike out.

Frequently Asked Questions Where can we park? Public parking is available throughout downtown Austin. Specific parking lots open to CapTexTri athletes and spectators are (also refer to parking map):

The Palmer Events Center parking garage, 900 Barton Springs Rd.

One Texas Center, 505 Barton Springs Rd.

Texas DOT, 200 E. Riverside Dr. Are friends and/or family allowed to accompany the athlete at the race? Friends and/or family are welcome to join the athletes at the race, though there are some “athletes only” areas such as the transition area, behind the finish line, the post race food area, and anywhere on the actual race course. Once the athletes finish the race, friends and/or family can meet them as they leave the finish chute.

Will there be food and/or refreshments at the race? Athletes will have numerous choices for re-hydration and recovery fluids along with assorted fruit, snacks, and food once they finish. There will also be vendors who will be doing sampling and sales to the public.

How can family and/or friends meet up with an athlete after the race? The best plan is to establish a post race meeting spot and have a reasonable estimate of what time the athlete is expected to finish his/her race. The announcers will be calling out the athletes’ names as they finish but it is not a guaranty that all athletes will be announced.

What if an athlete has trouble during the race? If an athlete experiences problems or an emergency during the race, race officials will attempt to contact the person listed as the athlete’s emergency contact.

It is very important that the person listed as the emergency contact is available via the phone number provided by the athlete.

Where is the Medical Area? The Medical tent is located to the west of the finish line (this is a secured area). There will be another medical station set up near the swim finish, and medical personnel will be located at each of the course aid stations.

Where are the best spectator viewing points? Swim start and finish can be viewed from the hike and bike trail. The 1st Street bridge is a great place to watch the swim and the bike. The ‘arena’ at 1st Street and Riverside has great viewing of the bike turn-around and the run course. The bike and run courses can be viewed from a number of locations, Cesar Chavez and Congress Ave being one. And, of course, the finish line area.
