**Additional Notes/Instructions**:
One person from that team will need to register, and then email
christietracy33@gmail.com with the Team Name (be creative!) and Roster.
Teams will start in the order that they register, so if you want to start early/hit the stop with the cake before it's all gone/get back to the after-party for first dibs on the food & drinks, get your pre-reg on NOW! It's okay if you register your team before your roster is solidified in order to secure an early starting place. Just be sure that only one team member registers, and that you email Christie by no later than January 12th with your team's name and roster :)
You will pick up your packets on Saturday before race day between 12 & 6pm at Austin Tri-Cyclist. In the packet will be three addresses. Your entire team will be expected to check in at each address. Your team will decide in which order you wish to make your way to each address. There will be ride fuel and potties at each location.
Teams will leave ATC every 2 minutes, (first team's start time at 9:00am). Your team’s start time will be determined by the order in which you sign up. The earlier your team is registered, the earlier you'll start, and the sooner you'll get back to ATC for the after-party!
After your team has checked in at all three locations then you will make your way back to ATC, where we will celebrate your speedy or not so speedy return with some fun beverages and yummy food.
Your finish time will be determined by the last person on your team to roll into ATC. This is a team effort....No man or woman left behind!
