The ROC Indoor Tri

The ROC Indoor Triathlon will be held on Saturday March 28th at the beautiful Louis Wolk Jewish Community Center (aka...the JCC) with the first heat starting at TBD sharp!

In sequential triathlon order (swim/bike/run), it will be a timed event with Average Ranking in each of the 3 disciplines to decide the winners.

• Swim: A 5-lane lap pool where 2 athletes will split one lane and swim as many laps as possible. To keep it simple, only completed laps will be counted into the athletes swim distance. (15mins)
• Bike: Using a stationary bike, athletes will spin as hard as they can to rack up distance. Athletes can adjust the knobs to increase the amount of wattage to impact distance. Bikes will be calibrated as best as possible for a fair competition. (15mins)
• Run: Using a treadmill, athletes will run as fast as they safely can. Treadmills will be calibrated as best as possible for a fair competition. (15mins)

Heats will consist of 10 athletes with a new heat starting exactly 20 apart (15 + 5 min transition = 20 minute).

Tie-Breaker: In the unlikely event of a tie in total distance, total KW on the stationary bike will be used to determine the winners.

Transition time will be discounted, however each discipline will start exactly 5 minutes after the previous one ended (meaning you would have less time on the next discipline).

Total race time is 45 minutes. 

Volunteers will be on hand to monitor and record lap swims, spin bikes, and treadmill runs then report those results to the race officials.  Athletes may also be needed as volunteers to count for their fellow competitors in waves before or after completion of their own event.

Awards Ceremony and Social Event will follow the race at offsite location as yet TBD with awards for:

• Overall Top 3
• Spirit of the Race
• Age Group (Decade)
• Most-Improved awards from the Indoor Season
• Best Swim ("the Dolphin")
• Best Bike   ("the Cranker")
• Best Run   ("the Cheetah")
• Slowest Transition Time  ("The Camper)
• Dead Middle  ("the DFM")
• Tie-Breaker: Total KW on the stationary bike will be used to determine the winners.

Competitive Understanding: We will do our absolute best to calculate the distances based upon the information recorded and submitted by volunteers, which might differ from the athletes watch.  Good sportsmanship is expected at all times.
