SSISA Super Tri #3

Event Concept: The idea is to provide a safe environment that you do not find intimidating to see if triathlon is for you. The transitions: (from swim to bike as well as from bike to run) will not be included in your total time. This makes for a far more relaxed environment and allows you to get into the most comfortable gear for the next leg of your triathlon. The swim leg: in a heated 25 meter pool with trained swimming coaches and trainers as marshals to make sure you have a safe and enjoyable swim. The bike leg: on spinning and watt bikes (your choice) for a safe and road traffic free ride. Do not be fooled, you still work hard on a stationary bike. The run leg: outside down the Liesbeeck River and through the Rondebosch suburbs safely away from busy roads just to mix it up with some fresh air. Choose between 2 distances: Super Sprint: 400m pool swim, 10km indoor bike, 2km outdoor run Sprint: 600m pool swim, 15km indoor bike, 4km outdoor run Registration: - from 06:30 (at SSISA) - Collect your race wristband & timing chip - Vehicle keys and bags can be handed in to reception for safe keeping (while you race) Race Start: You need to pre-select a specific time slot. Registration: 6:30am (and 30 minutes before each time slot) Time slots: from 7:00am (every half hour) Race briefing: 10 minutes before the start of each time slot (solo or team options) Event Timing: The swim and bike legs are recorded manually by marshals at the pool and stationary bikes to ensure the correct distance is completed before recording the time. It is the responsibility of each athlete to make sure the swim and bike marshal records the correct time for the swim and bike legs. The run leg is timed with an electronic timing system by touching a timing tag onto a timing pod. It is the responsibility of each athlete to tag properly and make sure they hear a beep and see a green light before continuing with the next lap.
