Revolution3 Welcomes You to Cedar Point Amusement Park!

Welcome, triathletes, volunteers, spectators and families to Sandusky, OH and Cedar Point Amusement Park. Revolution3 is excited to offer up its 2nd Annual HalfRev and FullRev at Cedar Point on Sunday, September 11, 2011. Thank you for choosing Revolution3.

Our goal at Rev3 is to maximize the enjoyment for everyone at the race, and this includes the spectators! So, whether you’re competing, volunteering, or spectating, we intend to make it a memorable experience.

There is so much going on throughout the park this weekend. Be sure to read the enclosed Schedule of Events that includes swim practices, course overviews, Expo details, fun kid’s activities and ALL of the important race day details. We will again offer a unique Friday night park special exclusive to Rev3 athletes, families, and volunteers.

In recognition of the tragic events that occured ten years ago on September 11th, 2001, Rev3 would like to take time to remember of all our fallen heros. Revolution3 has partnered with Team Red, White, and Blue, who supports wounded verterans and their transformation back into society. We will be selling American flags for families and spectators to have on the course on race day. Athletes will also be given a yellow ribbon tattoo to wear during the race and our Full Rev athletes will have the opportunity to run down the finish chute with the American flag. We will do this in memory of all those who were lost ten years ago, the soldiers who lost their lives fighting for our freedom, and those who continue to fight today.

On behalf of the Revolution3 Triathlon team enjoy Cedar Point and thanks again for adding Revolution3 to your race calendar.

Respectfully,

The REVOLUTION3 Team

Ohio’s Lake Erie Shores & Islands, from Sandusky to Put-in-Bay and beyond is the Midwest’s hottest vacation destination. This coastal gateway combines natural beauty with rich history and fabulous attractions. The ultimate lake shore getaway is closer than you think, just a short drive from most Ohio cities.

The Lake Erie Shores & Islands largest city, Sandusky, is a growing vacation destination. It benefits from being home to the world-famous amusement park, Cedar Point. From its record-shattering collection of roller coasters to four dedicated children’s areas including the all-new Planet Snoopy, there’s definitely a thrill here for everyone.

Historic downtown Sandusky has been called the “gateway” to the Lake Erie Islands largely because of seasonal cruise and ferry boats which transport passengers regularly between Sandusky, the Lake Erie islands and the Canadian mainland. Adjoining the busy harbor, downtown features spectacular parks with tropical gardens, magnificent architecture (including the largest concentration of limestone build-ings in Ohio), and specialty shops with one-of-a kind treasures and sweet treats, and locally authentic restaurants serving a variety of dishes sure to satisfy any appetite.

Although most known for its amusements, the area enjoys a rich culture, too. Several attractions explore the area’s contributions throughout history, including its role in the Underground Railroad, Thomas Edison’s birthplace and its maritime, fishing and wine-making legacy. Theater, concerts, heritage celebrations, and holiday events fill the calendar throughout the year.

Sandusky, often called “Ohio’s Waterpark Capital,” has become a year-round playground for anyone looking for an entertaining escape. It boasts four indoor waterpark resorts and one 18 acre, outdoor waterpark. The country’s largest indoor waterpark, Kalahari Resort, is joined by Great Wolf Lodge, Castaway Bay and others

Lake Erie Shores & Islands wouldn’t be complete without its beautiful islands. Kelleys Island, Middle Bass Island and South Bass Island, also referred to by its village name Put-in-Bay, are easily accessible from the mainland. Passenger and automobile ferries, as well as an island-hopping cruise, transport visitors to the islands.

Enjoy your stay and please contact us if you have any questions. We are here to help!

WELCOME TO sANDUsKY

Please call the Lake Erie Shores & Islands Welcome Center at 1-800-255-3743- or log onto SHORESandISLANDS.com for

more information.

The Welcome Center is located on Milan Road (US 250), stop in and learn about all our Shore

and Islands have to offer.

Enjoy the colors as you race! Rev3 has color coordinated our signs and arrows for each of the courses in the series. PLEASE NOTE it is your responsibility to know the course on race day. We will have the roads appropriately marked on race day but please educate yourself so you will not be surprised.

COLOR CODED COURsE DIRECTIONs

BIKEHALF

ExAMPLE:Half Bike course will be marked with Pink signs and Pink Arrows. The arrows will be marked with bright pink duct tape arrows on the road. We will also have pink Rev3 Half Bike signs on the course. Be on the lookout and know that if you see PINK you are on the right course.

We want you to look good while racing with Rev3. You will notice in your packet pickup that we have given everyone tattoo’s for your body marking for race day. Make sure you put these on BEFORE race morning. THERE WILL BE NO BODY MARKING ON RACE MORNING.

Simple procedure, you should have been given 2 tattoos with your bib number on them. These two numbers go on the upper part of your arm between your shoulder and elbow. Place one bib number on your right arm and the other bib number tattoo on your left arm. Make sure the Rev3 “R” is at the top and the “Pilot Flying J” logo is at the bottom.

You were also instructed to get your age. These tattoos will go on your right calf. Make sure you put your age vertical on your leg. If you are competing in a relay you will add the R to the bottom of your age.

You put these tattoos on just like you would any other temporary tattoo. Take off the plastic coating, place the tattoo on your body and dampen the back with a wet cloth. Hold a damp cloth on the tattoo for about 30 seconds. You should be good to go without having a stranger write on you at 5:00am!

To remove the tattoos post-race try using nail polish remover.

bODY MARKING

When you pick up your race packet and timing chip at athlete check-in, stop by the chip verification table to ensure that your correct name shows up on the computer screen.

You must wear your timing chip at all times while you are racing. Fasten it to either ankle with the Velcro strap provided before the swim and leave it on until after you finish the run. Volunteers will help you remove the chip at the finish line. If you do not start the race, you are responsible for returning the chip to timing.

If you drop out or are pulled from the race at any time, turn in your chip to a race official. Failure to do so may disqualify you from participating in future REV3 events. It is essential that we know where you are on the course at all times for your safety and our peace of mind. If you are transported to any medical station, the medical staff will take responsibility for your chip.

Your race chip is a loaner. By picking up your race number and timing chip, you are guaranteeing that you will return the chip to timing, or you will be billed for its replacement. There is a $90 replacement fee for any lost or damaged timing chips.

If you lose your timing chip during the event, you are responsible for a replacement at one of the following locations: swim exit, bike exit or run exit. Volunteers will have extra timing chips at the timing locations above. If you lose your timing chip while on the run course, please notify a timing official immediately after crossing the finish line.

Failure to wear your timing chip on race day, return your chip after the event or pay the replacement cost of your lost chip may disqualify you from future Rev 3 events.

NO CHIP = NO TIME

Where are the medical tents located? Medical tents will be located at the Finish line. Please see any Rev3 volunteer for more information and look for the red flag that says Medical.

Where are the best locations to view the race and athletes? The beach is open to anyone and a great place to watch the swim. The bike course is a two loop course if you would like to position yourself on course to cheer. We recommend driving to the town of Milan, Ohio. Bikers will pass by at mile 20 and 60, giving you plenty of time to make it back to transition for the big bike finish. Transition and the finish line is where you will find all of the action with our announcers and rocking music!

What roads are closed or have restricted lanes? First St. and Meigs St will have one-way traffic in Sandusky on race day. Shoreline, Water, Market, and Washington will be closed to thru traffic.

Welcome to this USA Triathlon sanctioned event. You are racing under the USAT Competitive Rules. In order to minimize misunderstandings on race day, I hope you will take the time to read the following summary of the Position Violations, which you know as the drafting rules.

• I have reduced the Position Rules to the following concepts, which everyone can remember:

• Ride on the right side of your lane.

• Keep three bike lengths between yourself and the cyclist in front of you.

• Pass on the left of the cyclist in front, never on the right.

• Complete your pass within 15 seconds.

• If passed, you must drop completely out of the zone, to the rear, before attempting to re-pass.

Remember you are racing in a USA Triathlon sanctioned event and there are USAT certified referees on the course to ensure fairness in the competition. There will be NO WARNINGS if you commit a foul during competition. Triathlon is an individual event and you must take personal responsibility to understand the rules and avoid penalties. At the end of the race all citations by the marshals are reviewed by the Head Referee who then decides if a penalty should be assessed. The Head Referee’s ruling is final in the case of Position Violations and there are no protests or appeals of Position penalties. Marshals commonly cite the following violations:

• Position– riding on the left side of the lane without passing.

• Blocking – left side riding and impeding the forward progress of another competitor

• Illegal Pass – passing on the right.

• Overtaken - failing to drop back three bike lengths before re-passing

• Drafting – following a leading cyclist closer than three bike lengths and failing to pass within 15 seconds.

Though Position Violations carry a time penalty for first offense, two citations will result in an additional penalty and if you are cited for three violations, you will be disqualified. Be sure to check the penalty sheet before you leave the race site and have a chat with the Head Referee if you have any questions.

Make sure your helmet is a CPSC approved model. All helmets legally sold in the US are CPSC approved but if you purchased your helmet in a different country it might be illegal for use in sanctioned events.

While on your bike, always have your chinstrap securely fastened - before, during and after the event! The chin strap rule is easy to follow, so don’t forget – that’s a DQ!

Wear your race numbers, don’t leave your trash on the course, and don’t carry or use any portable audio devices.

Remember to treat other athletes, volunteers, and officials with courtesy and consideration. Failure to do so is called Unsportsmanlike Conduct and you will be disqualified.

All that being said, I hope you have a great race, lots of fun, and achieve all your goals.

Revolution3 and Ulman Cancer Fund have had an ongoing partnership though out this season with the pinnacle race being Rev3 Cedar Point. Ulman Fund is a leading voice in the young adult cancer movement, they are working at a grassroots level to support, educate, connect and empower young adult cancer survivors. Since inception in 1997, they have been working tirelessly at both the community level and with national partners to raise awareness of the young adult cancer issue and ensure all young adults and families impacted by cancer have

a voice and the resources necessary to thrive. Their work over the years and to present day is guided by a mission, vision, values, and priorities and goals set forth within our strategic plan.

Ulman Fund’s mission is to enhance lives by supporting, educating and connecting young adults, and their loved ones, affected by cancer. Ulman Fund and Revolution3 have paired up giving athletes the opportunity to fundraise for their entry spot into Revolution3. We are proud to have several athletes racing for Team Fight in this years Rev3 Cedar Point.

The Ulman Fund and Rev3 have also just awarded the first Ulman Cancer Fund/Rev3 College Scholarship. This was awarded to Holly Wilsey. Holly is from Marshall, VA and was diagnosed with a brain tumor in her sophomore year of high school and her mother is currently battling gastrointestinal cancer. Holly was given a college scholarship and will begin school in the Fall of 2011.

“The Ulman Cancer Fund for Young Adults is very proud and humbled to be selected as the charity partner and beneficiary of the Rev 3 Triathlon Series. The UCF created TEAM FIGHT three short years ago as a platform to utilize sport to raise awareness and funds to support young adults affected by cancer. The Rev 3 partnership will enhance the voice of UCF and allow us to educate more people about the unique needs of the young adult cancer population,” says Brian Satola, Assistant Director Ulman Cancer Fund.

The REVOLUTION3 Triathlon race series was created to change the way athletes, family members, and spectators view and participate in triathlons of all distances. One of our immediate goals is to make triathlons a more interactive, enjoyable experience for spectators by providing fun activities for children and family members during the race. REVOLUTION3 Triathlon is about change!

If you would like to find out more about Team Fight you may visit their site at: www.ulmanfund.org

ULMAN CANCER FUND AND TEAM FIGHT

Revolution3 would like to give a huge THANK YOU to our local Cedar Point partners. We would not be able to host such a great event without the help from them!

LOCAL PARTNERs

Revolution3 has partnered up with Team Red, White, and Blue for Cedar Point Rev3. We are thrilled to be partnered with such an amazing organization. Athletes and spectators will both have several opportunities to pay respects to our country and in memorial of September 11th though Team Red, White, and Blue.

Team RWB will have American Flags for our Full Rev Athletes to wear down the finish cute. If this is something you would like to do on your Full Rev finish be on the lookout for a Team RWB volunteer who will be standing at the entrance to the Finish. You may grab a flag and finish like a pro!

In order to commemorate and honor the 2977 victims of 9/11, Team RWB and Cedar Point will be selling American flags at the Rev3 Expo for $2 which you can use to cheer on your athlete on race day. Every athlete will also be provided a yellow ribbon temporary tattoo. All proceeds from the flags go directly to support the mission of Team RWB in assisting wounded veterans.

Team Red, White & Blue’s (Team RWB) vision is to transform the way wounded veterans are reintegrated into society when they return from combat and transition to civilian life. Strong relationships between wounded veterans and their fellow Americans are critical to veterans’ reintegration into civilian life as well as our nation’s success. Team RWB works to connect veterans with dedicated and local, volunteer advocates. Wounded veterans and advocates define the exact nature of their relationship, ensuring each relationship is mutually beneficial and unique. To better meet veterans’ needs, advocates focus on the “everyday” – not the spectacular: being a friend, spending time together and performing small

acts of kindness on a personal level. Team RWB uses the platform of sports to raise awareness and support for the mission. Committed Team RWB athletes are racing across the nation in triathlons, marathons, ultra marathons, cross-fit, cycling, and more. Team RWB is a community of veterans, advocates, athletes, and concerned citizens dedicated to honoring the commitment and sacrifice of our wounded heroes.

UP CLOsE AND PERsONAL: WITHPROFEssIONAL TRIATHLETE HILLARY bIsCAY

are likely many, you took from your years with Brett and have been able to apply moving forward, what would it be.

Hillary: Yes, there are many! One of the main lessons I took away was not to listen to conventional triathlon wisdom, or even “science,” about how people say you should train and race--to not be limited by that. I have perfected the art of the smile and nod when people tell me I am training or racing too much. What I learned with Brett is that I am different from most other athletes and even many other pros: in general, my body can handle more work--and absolutely requires it if

I am going to be competitive.

Carole: How has your body been holding up? Most of us can’t sustain a racing and training regime you have

mastered without encountering the occasional injury. Are most people doing it wrong, or is

your DNA just different than the norm? Some folks are simply capable of more - do you think you fall under this descriptor, or do most people not understand really how you execute what you do. Or is it both of these things?

Hillary: Touch wood, I have not had a serious injury in years. However, last year and for

half of 2011, I had a more troubling health problem in that I was not well and could not figure out why. I wasn’t recovering from training the way I used to--even when we tried dialing the training way back--and was exhausted all the time. It was all I could do to get my training sessions done, and the rest of the time I was in bed. Long

story short, many doctors and naturopaths later, I found out that I am gluten intolerant. I

stopped eating meat and most dairy products two years ago, and in turn, greatly increased my

gluten intake in the form of bread and fake meat products. The more I ate, the worse my body reacted; ultimately what happened is that my gut became so inflamed that my body could not absorb nutrients from all the good food that was

Carole: Rev3 Cedar Point will mark your 51st Irondistance event in our sport. Most people can’t even fathom doing that many events - does the number of races you do factor into the incentive to do more, or do you not really think about it like that?

Hillary: Sometimes I like a numbers-based challenge. That is, I enjoy trying new combinations of long races--two ironmans in a week, nine in a year, etc--just to test myself in that way.

After doing as many ironmans as I have, though, I am always looking for a new challenge. So this year’s “new challenge,” for example, was more quality than quantity-based; Coach and I decided to do an experiment and see what happened if I just did 3 ironmans in a year. Actually we will already be at 4 with Rev3--close enough!

Carole: For several years you trained under the guidance of the infamous, and controversial, coach Brett Sutton. What has been the hardest transition for you in leaving the “squad”. Do you miss having his watchful eye as you now reside in The United States?

Hillary: Absolutely I miss it. I miss the 100% trust I had in Brett to do whatever he asked (albeit sometimes seemingly totally crazy) and know that whatever that training or racing assignment was, it would make me a better athlete. I also really miss the squad environment, but we are fortunate with where we live in Tucson, as we have a great bunch of pros who all live very close together and most of whom are very amenable to group training; people are willing to adjust their own programs slightly to facilitate training together, and then everyone gets more out of those group sessions than they would have from doing them alone.

Carole: If there was one thing, and there

It took a long, trying time to figure this out, and I couldn’t help but think that maybe my body was just done, or mentally I was missing something needed to get the work done...Emotionally it was a very tough time of self-doubt. Thus is was a big relief mentally and absolutely life-changing physically to change my diet and feel like my old self again.

Carole: What are your goals for yourself within the sport for the next few years? Do you think you’ll maintain Irondistance racing, or will you start to do some shorter distances?

Hillary: Oh no, I definitely will never go shorter--only longer. Returning to Ultraman and winning there is a definitely one of my big long-term goals. But before that I would like to add another ironman title or two to my resume! And when I retire from racing triathlon professionally, in my 40s, I want to see how long I can run --try some 100-milers and such.

Carole: How do you keep yourself from burning out? At some point most folks get utterly sick of the bike, or the pool, and just need a break from it all. How do you battle this? Is it your “job” so you just get it done or do you play some other mental game with yourself?

Hillary: I think this comes down again very much to having great friends and training partners; the group environment helps me to get the most out of myself and keeps training fun. Also, I truly enjoy pushing my body and testing my limits; triumphing over this kind of self-inflicted pain is indeed fun for me. Of course I am often still scared before those kind of workouts and may even on occasion dread them. But I always know that when I get out the door and get it done, I will have earned a sense of accomplishment for the day.

Carole: What do you enjoy “for fun” outside of the sport?

Hillary: Since switching to a mostly-vegan diet, food has definitely become a hobby for me--one that I can share with my fiance, Maik, and my little sister, Cameron, who both eat the same way. So trying vegan/vegetarian restaurants and new recipes at home and reading food/ nutrition blogs and books has become a hobby.

Carole: You’re getting married on New Years Eve! Congratulations! What do you look forward to most with this next chapter in your life?

Hillary: Great question! I guess I feel like Maik and I are already married, in some ways. So the wedding just makes it “official.” I do look forward to having a family someday--in a few years. Chihuahua adoption will come first!

Carole: You represent to many people that “anything is possible”. How does it make you feel when this phrase is attached to Hillary Biscay?

Hillary: That’s very flattering. I am a big believer in that saying, but would like to tack onto it “with a whole lot of hard work, discipline, and persistence.” I have been an athlete my whole life but never someone for whom success came easily; so if the small amount of success I have had in this sport can help prove that we can do whatever we set our minds to--with a great deal of commitment, that is--then I am thrilled.

Carole: What’s next for you? When your triathlon career comes to a close, what do you envision for yourself?

Hillary: I would love to have a career in this sport when I am done racing professionally. I am not sure what form that career will take, but in my perfect world it would be a combination of coaching, writing, live race commentating, and a couple other things!
