Thank you Tanya Branchi from The Athlete’s Foot for sponsoring our 2nd Club Race for the 2016/17 season. With sponsorship essential to enable our Club to hold a summer series of races, we ask members reciprocate by supporting our sponsors wherever possible. Our Dalyellup course was a popular course last year. Participants will be able to enjoy the scenic Dalyellup coastline, some ‘lovely’ flights of stairs to get to transition, silky smooth Dalyellup roads for the bike leg and shaded path into the adjoining Tuart Forrest for the run leg (Sprint course). The swim course will be set depending on conditions on the morning. If prevailing conditions exist then the course will be a swim along the coastline starting from the south. The Sprint course distance will be a 750 metre swim and Enticer course a 250 metre swim. Please take care negotiating the surf break back into shore at the completion of your swim as occasionally the Dalyellup surf break can be a little dumpy. Also suggested is to keep a little in reserve to negotiate the stairs leading from the beach back up to transition. Transition will be adjacent to the car park at the roundabout at the beach end of Norton Promenade. The bike leg for both the Sprint and Enticer course is a looped 2.8 km course along Norton Promenade and Hutt Drive with hair pin turns at each end. Sprint course participants will do 7 laps of the course and Enticer course participants will complete 4 laps. Please note that the cycle leg is not under closed road conditions. Being an early start and a suburban location we expect other road traffic will be minimal. However, when completing the cycle course, participants must obey roads rules at all times. For both Sprint and Enticer course participants the run course will be an out and back run on the smooth Dalyellup cycle/walking paths. Participants will head East on Hutt Drive with the Enticer course participants turning near the Norton Promenade / Maidment Parade roundabout. Sprint course participants will turn left at the roundabout onto Maidment Parade and follow this to the Tuart Forrest cycleway with the turn point on the cycleway just to the south of the service road that intersects the cycleway.

Location Beach End of Norton Promenade, Dalyellup. Limited parking is available at the car park that adjoins the roundabout at the beach end of Norton Promenade. A second car park is available 200 metres to the south off Norton Promenade. Course Distances Enticer Course - Swim 250 metres Ride 12 km Run 2.5 km Sprint Course - Swim 750 metres Ride 20 km Run 5 km Participants can complete the Sprint course solo or as a team. Key Event Times 6.20 – 7.00 registrations 7.00 transition area closes 7.10 Sprint course and Enticer course briefing 7.30 Sprint course race start 7.45 Enticer course race start 8.30 Trystar event Participant Age Considerations Juniors are aged 19 and below on the 31st of December 2016. Seniors are 20 and above on this date. Children 12 and 13 years of age can compete in the Enticer course provided they are chaperoned by an adult. Children 14 years of age and older can compete in the Enticer course without a chaperone. Participants must be 15 years of age as at 31st December 2015 to compete in the Sprint Course. Trystar Event A Trystar event will be held at the earlier time of 8.30 to enable those Trystar’s doing Surf Club to be able to make their Surf Club training sessions on time. The intention is for our Trystars to complete a 100 metre swim along the shoreline, 3km bike ride and 1 km run. However, the shore break at Dalyellup can be a little unpredictable so, in the event of adverse conditions, the Trystar event will become a run, ride and run. The cycle leg will be on the cycle path to the South of the transition area and the run leg will be on the cycle path to the North of transition. Trystars will get to take advantage of transition just like the big kids! We ask that Trystars register online before the event (more information below) and can collect their timing band on the morning from 8am.

BTC Handicap Series Information This year, BTC will conduct a handicap series at our Wellington Dam venue (Race 3 and Race 5). Handicap times will be determined from our first Busselton (Race 1) and Dalyellup (Race 2) races. A big thank you to Eaton and Bunbury Vet Clinic for supporting our BTC handicap series.
