I am confident you will find the people of Portland and all of Oregon to be hospitable, open and friendly. The natural beauty of this area makes for a superior backdrop for your triathlon and I hope you are able to enjoy the vistas and the impressions, even as you compete. When Pilot Flying J was considering our sponsorship for the 2012 season, we were excited about your brand loyalty. Rev3 Cedar Point and Rev3 Anderson champion Andy Starykowicz told us that in thanks for our sponsorship, he decided to fuel and stop only at Pilot Flying J as he drove back and forth across the country. We hope that you will make the same decision as Andy and patronize our Pilot Travel Centers and Flying J Travel Plazas across the United States and Canada. Here are some ways you can do that: SIGN UP FOR OUR PREFERRED CUSTOMER MYREWARDS CARD: Follow the directions at myrewards.pilotflyingj.com to register your card you received in your registration packet.

If you own an RV, be sure to sign up for that program, which has some great benefits for the RV traveler. Registering enables you to receive all of our exclusive deals and rewards! DOWLOAD THE MYPILOT APP: We have invested in this app which we hope you will find very useful as you travel throughout the year. Plan your route, plan your stops and get lots of information to improve your experience. SWIPE YOUR CARD: Once you have registered your card, be intentional about swiping those cards when you fuel, and about scanning that card for in-store purchases! We really hope to learn a lot about our Rev3 customers, where you come from, where you go, what you buy. This will help us tailor special deals and opportunities to improve your experiences throughout the 2012 season.

Revolution3 Triathlon | Portland, Oregon | July 8, 2012 15 OFFICIAL ATHLETE GUIDE A MESSAGE FROM THE HEAD REFEREE Welcome to this USA Triathlon sanctioned event. You are racing under the USAT Competitive Rules. In order to minimize misunderstandings on race day, I hope you will take the time to read the following summary of the Position Violations, which you 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. • Keep three bike lengths between yourself 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, to the rear, before attempting to re-pass. Remember you are racing in a USA Triathlon sanctioned event and there are USAT certified 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 marshals are reviewed by the Head Referee who then decides if a penalty should be assessed. The Head Referee’s ruling is final in the case of Position Violations and there are no protests or appeals of Position penalties. Marshals commonly cite the following violations: • Position– riding on the left side of the lane without passing. • Blocking – left side riding and impeding the forward progress of another competitor • Illegal Pass – passing on the right. • Overtaken - failing to drop back three bike lengths 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 first offense, two citations will result in an additional penalty and if you are cited for three violations, you will be disqualified. Be sure to check the penalty sheet before you leave the race site and have a chat with the Head Referee if you have any questions. Make sure your helmet is a CPSC approved model. All helmets legally sold in the US are CPSC approved but if you purchased your helmet in a different country it might be illegal for use in sanctioned events. While on your bike, always have your chinstrap securely fastened - before, during and after the event! The chin strap rule is easy to follow, so don’t forget – that’s a DQ! Wear your race numbers, don’t leave your trash on the course, and don’t carry or use any portable audio devices. 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. 16 Revolution3 Triathlon | Portland, Oregon | July 8, 2012 SPONSORED BY: Swim Start Waves PRO StarT Pro Men: 8:00am Pro Women: 8:03am HALF REV START All Women: 8:10am Men 40 and over: 8:13am Men Under 40, Aquabike, Relays: 8:16am OLYMPIC REV START SWIM COURSE SUMMARY The swim will be one clockwise loop in Blue Lake.

If you are unable to finish the swim or need immediate assistance please remove your swim cap and wave it in the air until a boat or lifeguard is by your side. • Each Swimmer must wear the colored swim cap provided by the Director. Revolution3 Triathlon | Portland, Oregon | July 8, 2012 17 OFFICIAL ATHLETE GUIDE WORST WETSUIT CONTEST Are you a little shy about your ratty ripped up wetsuit? Holding your zipper together with a safety pin? PERFECT! Rev3 and blueseventy will be having a worst wetsuit competition at the Rev3 Stage at 12:30pm on Saturday, July 7th.

BIKE COURSE SUMMARY Olympic-Rev: Fast and Flat! It is a one-loop ride with the majority of it taking place on Marine Drive. Half-Rev: Technical and Challenging. IMPORTANT: This course is the most technical bike course we have in our Rev3 race series. You will have steep climbing, fast descents, and hairpin turns.

On a happy note, the bike course ends with 10 miles of fast flats! All participants are expected to follow the “rules of the road” while out on course. With the exception of Marine Drive which is closed to traffic, the rest of the course will be open. Where there is a designated bike lane, please use it. When going through the urban areas, keep your head on swivel and watch for unexpected traffic. With the number of climbs out on the course, there will be ample opportunity to show off your cycling prowess. Do not litter along the course. Police officers are located at all stop lights and will provide you the right of way. If they ask you to stop, you must comply. The Rev3 staff, county officials, police officers and volunteers want everyone to be safe out on the course.

This year our Helix suit is designed to further impress with unparalleled flexibility while strategic materials and panels maximise buoyancy throughout the suit. BUOYANCY The Helix tiers buoyancy 5-5-4, centralizing Core buoyancy to raise the position of the hips in relation to the rest of the swimmer. CHEST: RATING 5mm The Helix uses two layered chest panels that naturally and anatomically accentuate the lungs in producing the optimal amount of buoyancy for the swimmer in the upper body. TORSO: RATING 5mm + AERODOME The torso uses a core panel of Yamamoto Aerodome material to deliver a maximal central buoyancy zone in the suit, keeping the hips high and promoting an efficient downhill swimming position. LOWER LEGS: RATING 4mm Research with top swimmers has shown that our 4mm Yamamoto 39 cell neoprene legs deliver the perfect blend of buoyancy without limiting drive from the kick. REACTION Wetsuit 100% Yamamoto Neoprene with a SCS (SUPER COMPOSITE SKIN) coating provides a low drag external surface and impressive buoyancy. Combined with our A- FLEX jersey lining the Reaction delivers high performance flexibility and buoyancy. BUOYANCY The Reaction tiers buoyancy 4-5-4, centralizing Core buoyancy to raise the position of the hips in relation to the rest of the swimmer. CHEST: RATING 5mm Two side panels of 4mm Yamamoto 38cell Neoprene accentuate natural lung buoyancy to optimize your upper body position relative to the legs. TORSO: RATING 5mm + AERODOME 5mm Yamamoto Neoprene supports the hips and lower torso, lifting the body in the water reducing drag and improving speed. The 5mm panels in the back of the hips, are lateral orientated in order to facilitate raised body position when you roll to the side during breathing. LOWER LEGS: RATING 4mm Research with top swimmers has shown that our 4mm Yamamoto neoprene legs deliver the perfect blend of buoyancy without limiting drive from the kick.
