to Newton 24 & 8 Hours of Triathlon
Please note the updated start procedure for the Duathlon:
2. STARTING PROCEDURE & OVERVIEW
The triathlon will commence with a Le Mans style swim start in wave
category (as required). Competitors will start in the TA, with 5
minutes between waves. The first three legs of the race must be
completed in swim - bike - run order, after that swims, bike and run
legs may be done in any order, with swimming only during daylight
hours, see rule 4.1.
The duathlon will commence with a mass bike start at the entrance to
the pit area, at 9:00 am simultaneously with the first swim start. The
first two legs of the race must be in bike - run order, after that
bike and run legs may be done in any order.
Teams compete in a relay format which means only one athlete from each
team may be on the course at any given time. Team members essentially
"pass the baton" before the next team member can start a leg.
