Indoor Tri - February 23rd - Location TBD
Cost is a little dependant on the location but these are last years. This is an indoor triathlon where we do swim - bike - run as a group in 20 minute segments. To keep the training fresh!
Requirements
Participants are asked to check in at the front desk and complete a waiver. Please bring a lock and all other gear needed to participate in swim, bike and run. Towels are NOT provided.
Swim – pull buoys or lava shorts (cheater shorts) are allowed, as they are similar to wearing a wet suit.
Bike – you must weigh yourself prior to starting the bike – this to establish the correct resistance to be used as a function of your body weight (see chart below). Bikes are equipped with toe cages and SPD (mountain bike) clip in pedals. The bikes do have water bottle holders. NOTE personal music devices are acceptable on the bike and the treadmill.

Swim – 2 swimmers per lane with a lane counter volunteer (the person going in the water next counts for the person before them).
5 min transition.
Bike – the bikes at LA have a trip monitor the total amount of Trips is your bike distance – the resistance used will be based on body weight.
5 min transition.
Run – is on the treadmill – and is self-selected using 1.5% grade throughout.
Scoring
Swim 1 point for every 100y swam (ie. .01 points for every yard swam – mid lap finishes will be estimated.
Bike 1 point for every “trip” (1 “trip” is 200 revolutions of the pedals).
Run 3 points for every KM run (ie 1 point for every .33 of a Km).
Example
Swim 20 min swim 1000 y = 10 points
Bike @ 85 Rpm, 20 mins = 8.5 trips = 8.5 points
Run (estimate) 6 mins/ km = 3.33 km = 9.99 points
Total score 25 points
