Transition
Cykelspecialisten will be on site in Stockholm next to the transition area to help with any last minute problems. However, we recommend that you check your bike before you come to the competition so that brakes etc. work.
When you check into the gear area, we check the bike, especially brakes, and that the helmet is approved (has CE or other safety mark). Then hang up your bike at the designated location. Bring as little things with you into the changeover area as possible, just what you need for the competition, as there is little space. We have no luggage storage or valuables handed in. Make sure you have your stuff in your place so that they are not in the way of others. Own plastic box is allowed, transparent or white, maximum size length / width / height 50x40x30 cm. The box should fit in your own changing area, not disturb others.
Remember that competition lasts all day, so make sure you move in the change area and make sure you are not in the way of other competitors. Only contestants and officials are allowed in the change area. Check-out by showing the license plate, which should then match the sticker on the bike. Be afraid of your license plate!
All entry and exit to the changeover area outside the competition is done via the "Check-in" inputs / outputs.

In competition classes and exercise relay we have water start.
In the exercise classes we have rolling starts down in the water. We have 120 people in a startup group who can then go in water when the start time is up. All competitors then walk along a timing mat into the water and swim away. Timing starts when you pass the starter mat.
If you find yourself in trouble call for help. There are kayaks, boats and lifeguards in the water during swimming. It is allowed to stay in kayaks or boats if you need to rest a little, as long as they do not move.
Bike
The helmet need to be snapped before taking your bike and then remain until you have reset your bike after finishing cycling. Cycling is not allowed in the transition area.

Olympic distance rides four laps, sprint two laps and supersprint one lap, all with turning points just before Slussen.

There should be no traffic at the course. The traffic guards are primarily responsible for stopping traffic, not showing the road. It is up to you as a competitor to know the stretch of the track. Keep right and pay attention to your surroundings.
There will be judges on motorcycles along the bike lane.
