Participants only: Pick up your packet on Saturday at the Queen Mary. You should have already received an update from the LB Tri with details so I won't go into them here. Let me know if you have questions.
Participants and Support Group (Spectators):
- It's not supposed to rain but if it does we understand if the spectators don't make it out.
- Participants, I will be arriving at 6am because I know the location and race. If this is your first time I would go even earlier to get situated, calmed, and it’s just prudent to do so.
- Spectators, I suggest you arrive between 6:00am and 6:30am. It will take at least 30 minutes to find parking, find us, and walk over to the start of the race. The first wave starts at 7:00am.

Directions:
*** I've posted links modified directions below from various different regions to the race. The reason you should use my directions below are because 1. I'll put you to the closest parking lot ($8) 2. Some roads will be closed so if you map it yourself you may run into road blocks.
(Note to those coming from the North. Broadway should be open. In the event that it is not you should be able to exit 6th Street which is one exit early and follow the rest of the directions the same way. Print out a local map just in case, it’s just prudent to do so.)

Once in the parking lot just walk across E. Shoreline Dr. the road is closed here for the race so pedestrians can cross in the morning. Once the race starts they will close the road to pedestrians for the bikes and you will have to cross at E. Ocean or S. Linden. Click on the image below for a bigger picture of the parking and transition area. I've labeled it for your convenience.
