Bupa's Top Tips
The Weet-Bix Kids TRY is an exciting day for kids and parents alike. We’ve spoken to some families
who have shared their top tips on making the day enjoyable for the whole family. This can be
especially helpful if this is your family’s first time at the event, or you have more than one child
participating, as there can be a lot of information to take in.
n Packing a picnic rug, snacks, chilled water and card games can go a long way in helping to
keep the team occupied during the day. This can be especially useful if you have multiple kids
finishing the event at different times, so that they know where to find you.
n Arrive early and visit the Bupa Family Zone before the first event starts to create a Team
Support Board together. This way, your kids will be able to keep an eye out for your special
board as they are making their way through the course.
n While you’re there, pick up your free copy of Team Talk, a card game designed to help your
family connect, get to know each other better, and enjoy the downtime at the event.
n If you can, it is a great idea to carpool with friends in the same age group.
n If you have more than one child participating, check out the event day schedule (on page 4 of
this guide) and look for the start times of each child. This will help the whole team know where
each member will be and coordinate meeting times.

Central Coast SUNDAY 18 FEBRUARY 2018 pAgE 11Step-By-Step Guide
TIPS FOR A CORRECT FIT
1. Position the helmet so that it protects your forehead
(1-2 fingers above your eyebrows)
2. Secure the clip on the strap under your chin and tighten
the strap up so you can still fit one finger under it to make
sure it isn’t too tight.
3. The plastic clips on each side of the strap should be slid
up to make a triangle that meets just below your ears.
4. The helmet should fit your head so that it touches on all
sides and can’t be slid forwards, backwards or side to
side. Use the extra pads supplied with your helmet to
ensure a snug fit.
10. The RUN
n Take off your helmet and leave it with your bike so you can
put on your Bupa visor for some sun protection on your run.
n Once you cross the finish line find mum and dad (it’s a great
idea to choose a meeting point at the beginning of the day).
11. Bike Release
Only after the race director has made the call will Transition be open for bike release after each
age category. This will be done in 3 stages: 11-15 years, 7-8 years and 9-10 years. Listen for the
announcement that you may collect your bike and belongings and head home. This will happen
only after the final bike for each age category has returned to Transition. No bikes will be removed
before this time.
