How does the relay workRelay Members will receive only one chip. The chip, worn around your ankle, is your exchange baton, tag off. Other relay members need to wait inside the transition area to tag their team mate and get the chip, put it on their ankle then go. The exchange is done in the transition area. Swimmer comes in and tags the biker, then the biker can proceed. All relay members remember to only cross the mat when they are competing, otherwise you need to use our separate entrance/ext on the south side (closest to Madison Ave) in the middle.
