The Weet-Bix Kids TRY is an exciting day for kids and parents alike. We’ve spoken to some families who have shared their top tips on making the day enjoyable for the whole family. This can be especially helpful if this is your family’s first time at the event, or you have more than one child participating, as there can be a lot of information to take in.

Packing a picnic rug, snacks, chilled water and card games can go a long way in helping to keep the team occupied during the day. This can be especially useful if you have multiple kids finishing the event at different times, so that they know where to find you.

Arrive early and visit the Bupa Team Family Zone before the first event starts to create a Team Support Board together. This way, your kids will be able to keep an eye out for your special board as they are making their way through the course (Look out for the Bupa Optical Family Viewing spots for the best vantage point!)

If you can, it is a great idea to carpool with friends in the same age group.

To put you in the best position to see all of your children participate, check the event day schedule (on page 3 of this guide) before the event and look for the start times of each child. This will help the whole team know where each member will be and coordinate meeting times.

Top TIPS FOR YOUR DAY

Bupa TEAM FAMILY


PARKING

The Red Square in the above picture represents where the event is taking place. There is ample parking surrounding the Venue. Ensure you check Council Parking signs carefully to avoid penalties.


Step-By-Step Guide1. Check-in

2. Numbering

REGULAR Check-In

Express Check-In

Manual Check-in

Check-In opens at 7.00am and closes at 8.30am, we advise that you come earlier rather than later!

Once you have passed through Check-In and have your swim cap it is important you look for the Numbering flags where you will have one of our friendly Haier Help Team volunteers write your bib number on your right arm and leg. This is just like in all Triathlons and will also help our event photographers recognise you!

If you already have your bib number but don’t have your participant shirt:

Proceed to the REGULAR Check-In line at the Scan Check-In tent.

Have your bib number ready to be scanned. Everyone must be scanned in for safety and insurance purposes and you could win some cool prizes!

Pickup up your participant shirt and your swim cap. Your swim cap will be colour coded to your age group and must be worn in the swim leg.

If you already have your participant t-shirt and bib number: Proceed to the EXPRESS Check-In line. Have your bib number ready to be scanned. Everyone must be scanned in for safety and insurance purposes and you could win some cool prizes!

Pickup up your swim cap. This will be colour coded to your age group and must be worn in the swim leg.

If you have not yet received your bib number or participant t-shirt: Go to the Manual Check-In tent where you will receive your bib number and participant t-shirt. You will then have your bib number scanned and be given your swim cap after which you can proceed directly to numbering

Pick up swim cap

IMPORTANT


3. TransitionThis will be done in three parts, following the final rider for the 7 & 8 Years, 9 & 10 Years and 11-15years.

Make sure you have been through Scan Check-In, you have your swim cap and your numbers on your right arm and leg – you will need these before you can enter transition.

You will need your helmet on your head and done up on entry into the Transition area for our Triathlon Australia officials to check.

1 parent only may help you rack your bike and set up. It is important to check which animal is on the end of your row – this will help you find your bike when you return from the swim!

During the event, our friendly Haier Help Team volunteers will be there to help you with anything you need, just raise your hand. They are experts at shoes laces and getting heavy bikes down off the racks.

Please Note: After your age section is completed and the Final rider is into transition, you will need to listen to the MC for the Bike Release announcement. We need to ensure your fellow TRYathletes have completed the bike leg to make sure it is safe for everyone to enter. Please refer to page 12 for further bike release notes.

TIPS FOR A CORRECT FIT1. Position the helmet so that it protects your forehead

(1-2 fingers above your eyebrows)

2. Secure the clip on the strap under your chin and tighten the strap up so you can still fit one finger under it to make sure it isn’t too tight.

3. The plastic clips on each side of the strap should be slid up to make a triangle that meets just below your ears.

4. The helmet should fit your head so that it touches on all sides and can’t be slid forwards, backwards or side to side. Use the extra pads supplied with your helmet to ensure a snug fit.

Step-By-Step Guide


Tips For Your Familys First tryathlon Transition

Tie a ribbon to your child’s bike to help them identify their bike easily.

Writing out the steps and leaving it on the front of your child’s transition bag can be really helpful, especially for younger kids: Shoes and shirt on, swimming cap and goggles off, hat/visor for the run, helmet for the ride.

Test their helmet before the event to make sure it fits them correctly.

Multi-use pants (such as bike shorts) that can be worn comfortably in the swim, cycle and run can help reduce the time to change between legs.

Remember to bring plenty of sunscreen. It’s a great idea to pop a small tube in your child’s transition bag so they can re-apply after the swim if required.

Write your child’s name and phone number on everything to reduce the risk of losing items.

Once your child has finished their TRYathlon they will need to wait until the end of the event before they can go back into the transition area. It’s a good idea to pack an additional bag which you can keep with you. Helpful items to pack include: sunscreen, change of clothes, some snacks and water and some activities to keep them occupied.

4. What to leave in transition Official Weet-Bix Kids TRYathlon T-shirt with Bib Number attached.

Bike with security sticker attached. Helmet with the security sticker attached. Runners / socks. Towel. Water Bottle (filled with water). Any medication you think your child may need use of during the Weet-Bix Kids TRYathlon (eg. Asthma puffer).

and activity exhibits. After the event, celebrate as a team by taking a fun photo at the

Bupa Team Family Zone. PARENTS NOTE THAT bikes must remain in transition until the

Event Director says they may be removed. This will be announced via the event PA system.

5. Teams of TwoTeams of Two: Teams are made up of two participants; participant 1 will complete the swim and participant 2 will complete the bike leg, then both participants complete the run leg together, crossing the finish line to receive their champion medals!Both participants must attend the event briefing together at the Swim Area.

Rules and SafetyThere are very simple rules for this event:

Follow the directions given to you by Team Leaders, Haier Help Team and other event officials.

Remain respectful and courteous to one another. Helmet must be on correctly, and done up securely before unracking bike and bike must be racked again before undoing helmet.

Kids must take care on corners particularly if conditions are wet.

Road closures are in place. Rules are to keep left unless overtaking- remember that

the bike course is like a normal road, and normal road rules apply.

The official Weet-Bix Kids TRYathlon T-shirt must be worn during the ride and run.

Familiarise yourself with the course – view Information boards located throughout the event arena to check the maps.

Kids are NOT to move other participant’s bikes or gear in the transition area at anytime.

Kids must do up their shoelaces and tuck into shoes before they start to ride their bike.

What you Get

Lost Kids

The fantastic Sanitarium Weet-Bix Kids TRYathlon official t-shirt, along with your bib number. It’s important that you bring these both along on the day.

Plus, you will also receive other great offers and gifts from sponsors. FREE breakfast on the day. You will receive your swim cap on the day as you Check-In on your way to transition.

It is a great idea to point out the Information/Meeting Point tent to children prior to the start of the event. Any lost property that is handed in will also be lodged with the Haier Help Team personnel at the Information tent.

Elastoplast First Aid Station There will be a Elastoplast First Aid Station station located within the village in the red medical tent staffed by paramedics.

There will be First Aiders and paramedics on the course. If you experience a medical problem on course tell an activity Team Leader or Haier Help Team volunteer, and they will provide assistance.

If you suffer from asthma, please remember to bring your asthma puffer with you.


Prevention is by far the best method of avoiding unnecessary pain and injury that may keep you from playing. Although many accidents are unpredictable, there are a number of proactive ways you can help prevent injuries from occurring.

Stretch and warm up your muscles By warming up your muscles, you make them more flexible which allows you to move your joints through their full range of motion

Drink lots of waterPlaying in hot weather results in extra fluid loss or dehydration so remember to drink before,

during and after each leg of the TRYathlon

Go at your own pace Doing too much too soon may cause injury. Don’t exert yourself too far beyond your level of fitness. Just take your time and go at your own pace.

Good luck and have fun!
