16Race Day
Parking
Race Day Car parks for athletes and spectators on race day are available as
follows:
Don’t try anything you are not used to!!
Getting up
You should get up early enough to have time for your final race
preparation. We recommend getting up 2.5 to 3 hours before your
start time (consider also that the transition area closes at 07:50
a.m.). You feel like you haven’t slept one bit? Don’t worry, that’s
normal and will not have an influence on your race performance.
Put on your timing chip right after getting up!
Breakfast
Breakfast should not be taken any later than 2 hours before the
start! Eat foods that you are used to / normally have for breakfast.
Drink enough (liquid with added electrolytes).
Getting to the event area
Consider that there are around 2.200 other athletes who are on the
same schedule as you are. Everybody wants to get as close to the
event area as possible and as fast as possible. The direct access road
(Oberseestrasse) to the event area is closed on race morning. Please
plan accordingly! The event area is only 5 minutes away from the
railway station Rapperswil.
On race day morning there will be shuttle busses, which take you
from the main parking to the event area. The last bus will leave the
parking at 07:45. Also the busses will bring you back to the parking
after 16:30.
