ATHLETE GUIDE
A WELCOME FROM PILOT/FLYING J
On behalf of the over 20,000 Pilot Flying J employees
in the USA and Canada, I welcome you to the
City of Knoxville, Knox County and the State of
Tennessee! Knoxville is the hometown of Pilot Flying
J (for over 50 years) and we are excited to welcome
the Rev3 Family. I am confident you will find the people of Knoxville and all of East Tennessee 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 did
not receive one, you may pick one up at any participating Pilot or Flying J location. 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 instore 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.
We are eager to compete to earn your loyalty with the same passion for
excellence that you possess in competing in these events. Once again, thank
you for making Pilot Flying J your travel stop on your way to Rev3 events, on your
business or family travels, and even on your daily commutes. We are deeply
appreciative of your support and are delighted to support Rev3 and the sport of
Triathlons.

WETSUIT RENTAL
Rev3 will have blueseventy wetsuits for rent at all of our venues for 2012. You will be able to
choose from the Reaction Wetsuit and the Helix Wetsuit. You can rent the Reaction wetsuit for
only $55 and the Helix wetsuit for $75. Here is your chance to swim like the pros for less than half
the price! Supplies are limited please reserve in advance. To reserve a wetsuit please e-mail
[email protected]
Helix Wetsuit
In 2012 we’ve further enhanced our flagship Helix wetsuit with subtle pattern refinements
and considerable material improvements. 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.

Teams of two or three navigate through the city finding
checkpoints, clues and completing challenges that
can only be found in the concrete jungle. Racers pick
their path to each checkpoint collecting the prescribed
number and return to the finish line in under 2 ½ hours.
Teams can run, walk, rollerblade, bike, or use public
transportation to get to checkpoints. A key strategy for
the event is to carefully select the method of travel that
best suits the team’s strengths and route selected. The
