Athletes and volunteers are expected to follow the general code of conduct taken from the USAT rule book. MITCS-specific rules are given to each wave prior to each segment of each race. It is the athlete's responsibility to listen to and follow these rules.

Please note the following:

• Athletes must follow the directives of any race official.
• Athletes may use any stroke in the swim portion of the race. Athletes may (yes, may) touch the bottom of the pool.
• Athletes must remain seated while biking.
• Athletes may not hydrate while on the track. Athletes must step off the track to hydrate.

If there is a discrepancy with your mileage immediately following the race, do NOT sign your card. Go to a race official with your volunteer and work it out. Signing your card is agreeing with the recorded results.
