    Hi all, I have entered quest Glendalough as a first timer but can't find rules / regs anywhere- I ain't sure how transitions work etc.

    Would anyone have a link or a suggestion?

    What are you wondering about?

    DSq for not putting on my helmet at the right place, when can I start cycling? How do I stop / start my timing, the basics really.

    I had previously looked thru that link but it wasn't really what I was looking for.

    Thanks

    chip timing most likey something strapped around your leg you dont have to do anything with it it works itself

    helmet goes on before you take your bike off the rack and similarly doesnt come off until your bike is re-racked

    there will be a mount line usually a few metres after the exit from bike area and similarly there will be a dismount as you come back in



    theres nothing hugely complicated to it all and there will most likely be a quick run through of this and anything thats particular to the event at the race briefing

    Most adventure races (if not all I have done) didn't use "chip timing" per say as it's very difficult to get timing equipment/power up to the top of a mountain. You will most likely be given a dibber which you will have to scan against a dibbing machine as you pass certain locations.

    Yip, you will be fitted with a disc strapped to your wrist. You will pass this (like a contactless payment) against a control mounted on a stake at the key places.

    There will be a pre race briefing which will explain what you should and should not do. Don't be like 95% of the crowd and yap your way through this. Move to the front and listen, it's not difficult to understand but you may be given pointers on the route.

    As above, helmet on and clipped before touching bicycle. Other than that have tons of fun!!

    fair enough re chip timing last time i did sea to summit it was chipped, and i think achill roar in 2015 was as well, but gaelforce definitely has dibbers either way its not complicated

    That's great info- I did see the term dibber used on some reading over the weekend.

    Thanks all
