helmet rules and regulations
Hi Banot, After the swim: The helmet is put on while the bike is still on the bike rack. We put it on and close the chin strap. After the bike segment: We open the strap and take off the helmet after we put our bike back on the rack. We can choose to put on our shoes at any time, not connected to the helmet. Some coaches suggest putting on the helmet FIRST, before shoes, so we don't forget! Another bit of information: When we check into the transition area we must have our helmet closed on our head, the bib number on our waist, timing chip on our ankle, numbers written on our arms and legs, age and segment on our calf. The judges will check the helmet, as well as the bike's brakes before allowing us into the transition area. All questions welcomed! Yours in tri, Susie
