Here is the latest information for The Woodlands Triathlon
What: The Woodlands Triathlon
Where: The Woodlands, Texas
When: Saturday, 10th of May,
Schedule:
From: ~5:30AM at Denny's before the start for an optional pre-event socializing opportunity. This is also where you'll get your tee-shirt.
On-station time: 6:45AM.
The event starts with the swim at 7AM, if all goes well.
Because this is a *sprint* triathlon, the swim is relatively/very short, and the first competitor is expected to be out of the water in very short order, so we need to be on-station by 6:45AM at the latest.
The competitors will not be allowed to start the run after 10:15AM, so by that time, the competitors should either all be done with the Bike course, or, being offered transportation back, as the event is done with the bike course, and they'll be wanting to reopen the roads to normal use.
We are monitoring the competitors on the BIKE COURSE ONLY.
### Newest added information ###
*** Assignments & Documents ***
Assignments have been made. Visit:
https://www.woodlands-event-comms.info/events/the-woodlands-triathlon/assignments
There is also a procedures document. Find it at:
https://www.woodlands-event-comms.info/events/the-woodlands-triathlon/documents
*** Traccar app setup ***
Yes, we'll be using the Traccar app on smartphones during this event. For instructions on how to set that up, please visit: https://www.woodlands-event-comms.info/traccar-setup
The information there is mostly good.
The map for the event is available on the ASSIGNMENTS web page.
When testing traccar, use the link that says 'for testing'.
On the map, open the '??' pane, and supply (must be lower case) `twt` for the login, 23231 for the password, click 'auth' and then use the LS pane to enable the 'trackers' option, to be able to see where you are when traccar is enabled.
*** Weather outlook ***
Current prediction is for a nice, 74F high, 65F low, cloud cover, with a 35-45% chance of rain, so, be prepared to deal with that!
*** Check your equipment ***
Yep, now is a great time to check that your equipment is good.
For those wanting to know (since documents are not available just yet), we will be using the Conroe 147.020 (+ offset) 136.5hz tone repeater, as well as the 444.100 (+offset) 136.5hz tone repeater.
Of course, if you're far away, you might not be able to reach them, but at least you know what to configure to use.
### Still current, provided earlier information ###
*** Plenty of assignments needing to be occupied ***
Yep, for this event, there are *lots* of places we can put people to monitor the progress of competitors.
So, please do spread/share the word about the need for more volunteers if you have the opportunity to do that.
Do it quickly though, because time is short!
That's it for this update.
Many thanks to all that are part of the team for this event.
