OPENS 15 OCTThe triathlon includes a 250 yard swim, a 12 mile bike and a 3.1 mile run. TEAM COMPETITION! Get a 3 person team together. THREE DIVISIONS: Male, Female, and Coed. We will take the overall times of the three team members and the team with the lowest overall time in their division wins an individual and team trophy. THIS IS NOT A RELAY. Each team member will do the swim, bike, and run. Team members are still eligible for overall and age group awards. TEAM NAME: There can be as many teams representing the same college but we encourage coming up with a unique name. For instance, Nebraska used to be known as the Bugeaters so that could be a team name that still represents Nebraska.. If the team members all support different schools then let the team captain decide who you will support. -
