Dear Athletes,
Welcome to the Brierman® Triathlon!!
This event is the eleventh and final event of the 2008 Greater
Atlantic Multisport Series (GAMS) and the Greater Atlantic Club
Challenge (GACC). Over $7,500 worth of prizes and cash will be
given away to lucky GAMS and GACC participants and winners!!!
The inaugural Brierman® features a Sprint Distance Triathlon
and “Half Lite 50™” - a special distance totaling 50 miles. The
“Half Lite 50™” is a Piranha Sports created event which is ideal for
those wanting to go beyond the International (aka Olympic) distance
but less then the Half Iron distance. Look for many more of these
to pop up in the area.
For those of you who are new to multisport events and chip timing,
we strongly encourage you to attend the First Timers Meeting
scheduled for 3:00pm on Saturday, October 11th at the race
location. This will be your opportunity to learn about the race
course, review the contents of your race packet and have all of your
questions concerning the race answered.
Stay fit, good luck, and we’ll see you on race weekend!!

Packet Pickup Information
Transition Area Rules
Piranha Sports makes every effort to maintain a secure transition area: In
order to do this, we have the following policies that must be followed by all
participants and their family members and friends.
Check-in: The only people allowed in the transition area at any time will be race
participants, Piranha Sports staff members and race officials. You will need your assigned
wrist band on before access to transition will be allowed. There is one entrance to the
transition area prior to the race – you must use this entrance only. Anyone who attempts to climb
over or under the transition area fencing will be reported to a race official resulting in a penalty or
disqualification. There is a clearly marked MOAT area around the transition area – the only people
allowed in this area are Piranha Sports staff members and security personnel – no exceptions. Bike
warm-ups must take place prior to transition area check-in. Once your bike is in transition, it
cannot leave until the bike portion of the race.
Check out: After you finish the race, there will be one exit for people and bikes. In order to
check your bike out, you must have your bike number on your bike and your wrist band on. If you
are missing either of these, we will need to record information on you and your bike and it will
delay your exit from transition.
Other: Please remember that once you finish the race, there may still be other participants
transitioning. Please keep the aisles of transition and the bike in/run out areas clear so that they
can continue the race without impediment.

Rules of the Road
Most triathletes come to races with only a rudimentary understanding of the rules of the sport. Indeed, few have
ever read through the Competitive Rules (http://www.usatriathlon.org/Rules_Officials/rules.htm) in its entirety.
In order to minimize misunderstandings on race day, I hope you will take the time to read the following summary of
Position Violations, which you probably know as the drafting rules.
I have reduced the Position Rules to the following concepts, which everyone can remember:
•
•
•
•
•
Ride on the right side of your lane, as far right as possible.
Keep three bike lengths between you and the cyclist in front of you.
Pass on the left of the cyclist in front, never on the right.
Complete your pass within 15 seconds.
If passed, you must drop completely out of the zone (back at least 3 bike lengths), to the rear,
before attempting to re-pass.
Remember you are racing in a USA Triathlon sanctioned event and there are trained referees on the course to
ensure fairness in the competition. There will be NO WARNINGS if you commit a foul during competition. Triathlon
is an individual event and you must take personal responsibility to understand the rules and avoid penalties. At the
end of the race all citations by the officials are reviewed by the Head Referee who then decides if a penalty should
be assessed. A copy of the penalties will be posted next to the preliminary results. If you feel you were unfairly
penalized, please see the race director. However, the Head Referee’s ruling is final in the case of Position
Violations and there are no protests or appeals of Position penalties. Officials commonly cite the
following violations:
Illegal Position or Blocking – riding on the left side of the lane without passing.
Illegal Pass – passing on the right.
Overtaken - failing to drop back three bike lengths after being passed and before re-passing.
Drafting – following a leading cyclist closer than three bike lengths and failing to pass within
15 seconds.
Though Position Violations carry a time penalty for each occurrence, if you are cited for three violations, you will
be disqualified.
Always have your chinstrap securely fastened! The helmet and chinstrap rule apply before, during, and after the
event. The chinstrap rule is the easiest to follow, but some folks always seem to forget – that’s a DQ!
Remember to treat other athletes, volunteers, and officials with courtesy and consideration. failure to do so is
called Unsportsmanlike Conduct and you will be disqualified.
All that being said, I hope you have a great race, lots of fun, and achieve all your goals.

Hydration
Dehydration is the main medical issue we have at any event whether it
is a hot and humid or a cool and crisp day. Please be sure to drink
plenty of fluids before the race and during the race. Your pee should
be clear!!! At all Piranha Sports events, we will have a self-serve water
table available for you to fill your water bottles before the race and there will be water
stations approximately every mile on the run. In the longer races, we will also have a bottle
exchange available on the bike course. When you come over the finish line, in addition to
removing your timing chip, we will also do a quick assessment of your general health and will
grab one of the finish line EMTs/Paramedics if we feel you need medical assistance.
