Triathlon Race Leg Order?

[Tully]

I was wondering if anyone knows whether or not EACH person on a team
has to complete a full triathlon in the correct order (swim-bike-run)
before the team can start specializing and doing the legs out of
order. (Ex. - Assume a 3-person team. Does each team member have to
do a full tri before they could break off into specialties? Or do
only the first 3 legs have to be completed in order, regardless of if
one individual does them or the entire team combines in a relay to do
them?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Tully,

The team as a whole (relay) has to complete the first three legs in
swim-bike-run triathlon order. You choose who does which leg, some,
all or none, your discretion.

Just wanted to let you know and everyone else at the race that we will be
out at the race with the ever popular Zeal Demo.
We will also be offering the UPCYCLE to Zeal where anyone can trade in their
old "Brand name " glasses for a pair of Zeal for 50% off.
We will be donating the UPCYCLE glasses to a charity in need.
We are excited to be at the race and race along side of everyone. Bring on
the sun!
Cheers

Tully,

This is the first year I won't be racing. 

Your combined team has to complete a full tri.  You can use any combination of team members to race the first swim-bike-run.  It's not individual-dependent.  The first year, we actually had a racer on our team join us 4 hours into the race because of work obligations.  So if you wanted, on your three person team, you could do: 

Tully - swim
person 2 - bike
person 3 - run

then you can go off and get into your strategic plan of doing it however you want.

Have fun!
Ashley

Tully,  You just need to do one complete tri (swim-bike-run) with any number of your team mates.   For example on our team someone swims, someone else rides, and our last person runs just to get everyone warmed up and into race mode.  Then you can start doing any leg in any order.
