race, but there are limited slots left. They are
first come, first serve.
Note
to all athletes
What does a bag and clutter free
transition area mean?
This means you may bring
your gear into the TA with a bag but then must remove
your bag. After you have the gear you need in
transition please remove your bags, buckets, wagons,
carts and whatever you do not need to race with. This
ensures we have enough space for others around you.
Please make arrangements to give these things to a
love one or place them into your vehicle.
What
do you mean transition closes at 7:15am, but my race
doesn't start until later.
This means at 7:15am all
athlete need to have everything they need to race for
the start of the swim. (goggles, swim cap, wetsuit,
etc.) You will not be able to enter or re-enter the
transition until you are racing. The transition
will be staged and ready to go.
***Note-NEW as
of
2010 - There will be a place in the transition area to
pile up your bags, etc. Please do not leave valuables
in your bags. You take the chance of them getting
stolen.
Three options to stay warm before your wave
starts:
Option 1) If the weather appears that is might be cold
or unfavorable, please consider wearing some clothes that you
might not care about to the swim start while you wait for your
wave. Before your wave starts you will have the
opportunity to leave them in a pile inside the corral
and then we will donate all of these items to a shelter for
the less fortunate. See other green efforts Score
This!!! has in place for its events.
CLICK HERE to find out more
about Recycle This!!!
Option 2) Take the
Hammer Nutrition bag that you receive at packet pick, write
your name on it in Sharpie, stuff your clothes in it before
your wave starts and we will transfer them to the volunteer
tent. You can go recover them after you have finished
the race. Please do not put valuables in these bags.
They will be left unattended and Score This!!! will not be
responsible for any stolen or missing items.
Option 3) Go back to your car or hotel
or Steamboat Landing after
the pre-race meeting

What Is Train For
Treatment:
The Finger Lakes Triathlon is
the primary annual fundraiser for the Mary M.Gooley
Hemophilia Center. Every year we run a program
called “Train For Treatment” which enables athletes
to raise money for the Center via a secure donation
web page as they train for the triathlon. All of
the money raised goes directly to the Mary M.Gooley
Hemophilia Center for critical patient services and
treatments. Please visit
www.hemocenter.org
for more information on the Center.

What Are Some Things
That I Can Put On My Donation Page:
1.
“Tri-Buddy” Program - You can raise money
for the Center on behalf of one of the child
patients that we treat. We will assign one of our
child patients to you (your “tri-buddy”) and send
you their picture and profile on how they have
overcome their bleeding disorder with the help of
the Center. You can then include this profile along
with your own personal message on your donation
page. You will also have the ability to meet your
“tri-buddy” sometime this summer if you want and if
possible they will be there at the triathlon
cheering you on. It is a very rewarding program.
2.
You
can raise money for the Center to help promote its
message of health and fitness in our community. The
reason the Center chose a triathlon as its biggest
annual fundraiser is that it is critical for people
with Hemophilia to stay fit and active to help
mitigate the effects of the condition. To help
broaden our appeal, we have decided to be advocates
of this important message to the whole community and
will use our resources to help promote it.
3.
You
can raise money for the Center based on the great
care that we provide and how we are a nationally
recognized leader in the bleeding disorders
community for our comprehensive care model and
amazing staff. The Mary M. Gooley Hemophilia Center
is another example of excellence in our respective
field coming out of the Greater Rochester/Finger
Lakes Region – something we can all be proud
of.
