Rules
This indoor triathlon is based on time rather than distance.
The goal is to travel the greatest distance in the swim, bike and run events in a given period of time (15 or 30 min). Your final ranking will be calculated based on the total distance travelled. The three disciplines will count equally to get the final result. The participant or the team with the greatest combined distance wins the 1st, 2nd and 3rd places according to the results.
Swim event: the distance travelled is equal to the number of lengths completed. The pool measures 25 metres, so 4 lengths = 100 metres.
Cardio cycling event: the distance covered is equal to the total distance displayed on the console of your bike at the end of the event.
Run event: The distance travelled is equal to the number of laps completed. Each lap measures 125 metres.
The results will be communicated as they become available. The final ranking will be announced at the end of the day’s events.
