Well done to Paul, Tom and Natalie on organising this inaugural race and making it a great success !

'pologies if you have to search through 000 or 'standard' or 'sprint' to find your swim exit and other race photos - but we can only index images where we can see race numbers. Tri belts are 'king useless on this matter as are shoulder body numbers covered with wetsuits (this is not Hawaii and it is not Tri suit weather for swimming - shoulder numbering is an elite race requirement only - for the video media)
The simplest solution is the back of both hands (no wetsuits cover the hands and swim caps get taken off too early), and then for the bike - helmet numbers on the front and left shin (so you can read it from the front nearside) are the best places.
We do try our best to use race timing results to match the time of photo to the time of crossing a timing mat, but when it's busy (three or four at a time) then that theory goes out of the window, but it has been known to help index entire race galleries where numbering seems to have been "optional".
Conversely if you do have clear numbering - we are often the first people the race timing companies come to for verification - we were able to sort out three finishers at another triathlon this weekend whos chips didn't register - but ONLY because we could see and read their race numbers, and we have been known to compile a complete set of results for the odd half marathon where it's all gone awry.
So - race numbers - are there for a purpose, please ensure that they can be seen - after all - that's what the rules say. Fancy being DQ'd because of no number on the front during the run ? - Never make me the race referee - that is all.
