Race Day - Triathlon Finish
- Remember, the finish line where the timing carpet is — not anywhere before that! Finish the race hard so you know that you did your best to the very end!
- YAHOO, throw your hands up into the air and finish the race like the triathlete you are!
-
There will be a professional photographer getting shots of every racer crossing the finish line. Give him a winnig photograph!
-
Listen for your name. Lots of race organizers have a person at the finish line announcing the finish — just like the pros!
-
Savor the moment, if just for a second. It’s YOUR time!
-
Most of the time an official will be waiting just after the finish line to collect the ankle timing device. Return it at that time or you’ll forget.
