Off Road Triathlon
Off-road triathlon is a form of triathlon, or three-stage race, consisting of a swim stage, mountain-biking stage, and a trail-running stage.
Off-road triathlons are distinguished from conventional triathlons in that the terrain for the cycling and running stages are generally unpaved, rough, and very steep and hilly. They require different techniques than conventional triathlon races, and in particular the athletes employ mountain bikes rather than road bikes.
An off-road triathlon requires a higher degree of technical biking skill, as opposed to the high speed and endurance demands of road biking in a road triathlon. Distances for the bike portion of an off-road are much less relevant than for a road triathlon. An off-road bike course may have several severe vertical climbs and descents. It may also have a high degree of technicality, meaning the number, pitch and sharpness of turns through trees, rocks, logs, streams and other obstacles on the bike trail. Because the vertical climbs and technical demands of an off-road course greatly reduce a biker's speed, and because the amount of climbing and technicality vary greatly from one off-road course to another, estimating times for an off-road bike course merely by distance is not reliable.

Season 2011 Grand Prix de Triathlon and Olympic Triathlon Tickets
To some extent this season is
irregular. On the one hand, traditional guest stars withdrew and concentrate on
ITU races for the 2012 Olympics qualification. On the other hand, five clubs
which had already been admitted to the Grand Prix, among which the female gold
medalist and male silver medalist Beauvais, declared to withdraw in autumn
2010. So in 2011 there are only 11 instead of 14 female teams. The opening
triathlon in Nice (24 April 2011) proves the undiminished foreigners' dominance
in spite of the new regulation according to which each club has to be present
with five triathletes at each competition with at least one French triathlete
among them.

Foreigners' Dominance in Grand Prix de Triathlon and Olympic Triathlon Tickets
The high amount of international
guest stars has always raised criticism in France. On the one hand, FFTRI is
proud to gather some of the best elite stars of the world; on the other hand
the rankings clearly show that the French triathletes are a small and irrelevant
minority among the Grand Prix participants. In the old Réglementation Sportive
of the season 2007/08, the importance of the foreign guest stars was still
restricted because among the three triathlètes classants l'équipe only one (EU)
foreigner was allowed.

Points System of Grand Prix de Triathlon and Olympic Triathlon Tickets
Each of the 16 male and 14 female teams nominates seven
triathletes for the whole season, of whom five triathletes actually have to
take part in the race. In 2011 at least one triathlete in each team must be
French (two from 2012 onwards. For each of the five competitions the ranking of
the clubs is determined by the three so-called triathlètes classants l'equipe,
i.e. the individual positions of the three best triathletes of each club are
added and the club with the lowest sum is the winner, and so forth. The ranks
of the rest of each team are irrelevant. For the whole circuit, however, the
clubs are assigned points on the basis of the club ranking of each individual
competition. The best male team, for instance, receives 20 points for the first
place in one competition etc.

Joining Stockport Metro, she has been coached since by Sean
Kelly. Having broken British junior 800m freestyle record in 2002, Payne's
central financial support was cut after she failed to win a medal at the 2006
Commonwealth Games. As a result, Kelly suggested that she tried open water
swimming, allowing her to access additional central funding.
She represented Great Britain at the 2008 Summer Olympics in
the 200m and 400m individual medley swimming events as well as the10 km open
water event, in which was placed second and won a silver medal for Great
Britain. At the 2009 World Aquatics Championships, held in Rome, Payne won the
10km swim. She finished first in a time of two hours, one minute and 37.1
seconds. In 2011 in Shanghai, Payne reclaimed the World Championship in the 10
km Open Water event, becoming in the process the first British athlete in any

History of Hy-Vee Triathlon and Olympic Triathlon Tickets
The first edition of the event,
held June 17, 2007, featured the largest prize in triathlon history, at
$200,000 each for the men's and women's elite winners. Approximately 10,000
spectators came downtown to the event, which was held in downtown Des Moines,
swimming at Grey's Lake and finishing at the Iowa State Capitol.
The 2008 edition, held June 22,
served as the final United States qualifier for the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing,
China. Due to flooding, it was moved to West Des Moines.
Initially, there was
uncertainty about its Olympic qualifying status, as bacteria levels in nearby
Blue Heron Lake left the swimming option in questionable status. However,
officials confirmed that there would be swimming. As part of the Olympic
qualifying Hunter Kemper and Sarah Haskins claimed the final United States
Olympic spots as Rasmus Henning and three-time World Champion Emma Snowsill
were the overall winners.
In 2011, the World Triathlon
Corporation (WTC) announced that the Hy-Vee triathlon would serve as the site
for its 5150 Series U.S. Championships. The race will have the largest prize
purse in triathlon, with $1 million total being paid out and $151,500 going to
the men and women’s winners. You can purchase Olympic Triathlon Tickets from

Off-road triathlon (II) and Olympic Triathlon Tickets
Off-road triathlon swim courses are normally similar to those of road triathlons. Each type of triathlon usually requires competitors to swim a minimum of 800 meters and typically 1500 meters in a lake, river or ocean.
Off-road run courses often follow part of the off-road bike course, and so often require trail running up and down hills or mountain sides, through forests, streams, riverbeds and other natural and occasionally man-made obstacles. The run distance is at least 5 kilometers and normally 10 kilometers. Again, as in off-road biking, predicting a finish time purely based on distance will not be accurate, due to the climbing and trail turns and obstacles preventing a runner from reaching speeds usually achieved on the road.

Indoor Triathlon and Olympic Triathlon (II)
The first indoor triathlons were held in stadiums and velodromes in Europe and Asia in the late 1980s as showcase events for the top professionals where a temporary pool would be built in the center and the bike and run would be around the track. These were invite only spectator events with qualifying heats and a final race for professional triathletes and were not open to the general public. Unlike the current format of indoor triathlons, these races did not have a short break between events so that transitions were an important element of the race. Borrowing from that concept, the first editions of the current version of the indoor triathlon were staged in the early 1990s in Ontario, Canada.
There a group of 4 triathletes friends created an indoor series based out of the 4 different universities they attended (University of Western Ontario, Mac Master University, Queens University and Trent University). The races consisted of a 15 minute indoor pool swim followed by a 5 minute break to get from pool to bikes followed by a 15 minute bike on a stationary bike followed by a 5 minute break to get from bikes to the track followed by a 15 minute run on an indoor track. The events were held with participants going in waves over the course of a morning. Participants were scored based on point scale where you could achieve up to 1000 points in each sport based on far you went in the 15 minutes. In contrast to the original professionally focused indoor races, the purpose of this series was to create a low cost, fun, safe and un-stressful way to initiate newcomers to the sport of triathlon. These races sold out quickly, and the series expanded to other universities and the Ontario Inter University Triathlon Association (OITA) was born to oversee it.
As triathlon's popularity grew in the 90s other indoor triathlon races began appearing across North American and the world using a similar format to the OITA races.

Indoor Triathlon and Olympic Triathlon
An indoor triathlon is a nonstandard variation of the triathlon and consists of three events: swimming, cycling, and running. The swim is held in an indoor pool, the cycling takes place on stationary bikes, and the run takes place on an indoor track or treadmill. Indoor triathlons are generally held in fitness clubs to accommodate all three sports.
In some competitions participants are judged by the distance they travel in each event in a set amount of time. Times can vary between races. On other occasions, the triathlon is conducted in the same manner as an outdoor triathlon in that distances are set and participants compete to finish the total distance in the shortest amount of time. Generally, the swimming is the shortest event, and cycling is the longest. Occasionally, transition time will not part factored into the overall scoring. In one example, participants are given about 5 minutes to transition between events.
An indoor triathlon has several advantages when compared to an outdoor triathlon. Indoor triathlons are a way to compete during the winter, as well as a way to be introduced to the sport without facing an open water swim. They also do not require an investment in a bicycle as the bike portion is on a supplied stationary bike. Finally, they also allow participants that may not be able to complete a set distance but that could "race" for a set period of time to compete.

Qualifications for Olympic Triathlon
Qualification spots in the triathlon are allotted to National Olympic Committees rather than to individual athletes. There are five ways for NOCs to earn spots in the triathlon. NOCs can earn a maximum of three spots, though only nine nations may earn that many. Nations beyond that may earn only two spots. If a nation would be the tenth or later to earn a third spot, it loses that spot.
The first five spots go to the winners of the five regional qualifying tournaments. Three more spots go to the top three triathletes of the most recent Triathlon World Championships, though any athlete that won a regional tournament is skipped in that determination. The next 39 places go to the NOCs of those athletes highest in the ITU ranking again, skipping those athletes that have already qualified in the first two methods. A forty-eighth place is awarded to the host country if it has not already received a spot or to the next highest ranked athlete if the host country has. The final two places are awarded by the Tripartite Commission.

Aerobars used in Triathlon Cycling
Aerobars, also commonly referred to as "tri-bars," are handlebars designed to reduce the cyclist's wind profile. Triathlon played a key role in the development of cycling with an aero geometry during the 1980s. Aerobars are used in other forms of cycling, such as time trials and some events in track cycling.
Instead of the familiar curved "drop bars" of road bicycles, aerobars are mounted to a set of "pace bars" or "bull-horns". A pair of bars stretches straight forward from the center of these handlebars at the stem of the fork. Padded cups or pads in the middle of the bars support the athlete's elbows and/or forearms while the hands are stretched forward to hold the center bars. This position keeps the rider's elbows in close to the body and lowers his or her torso compared to the usual upright position.
The brake levers are mounted on the side horns; the rider will hold these instead of the center bars when braking or maneuvering is required. Often the shifters for the derailleur gears are mounted at the tips of the aero bars allowing the athlete to change gear ratios without compromising their aerodynamic position.
Riding with aerobars is facilitated by adopting a steep seat-tube angle, often referred to as an "aggressive" geometry. The forward nature of this positioning is not as easy to control as traditional seat tube angle and upright position. Maneuverability is compromised for an aerodynamic body position when a bike is fitted with low aerobars.
The International Triathlon Union regulates the size of aerobars used in competition for draft-legal races. Triathlons allowing drafting promote cycling as a group on the cycle leg of the triathlon, allowing athletes to compete with a very aggressive geometry compromises safety as maneuverability is reduced. Professional triathletes competing in these races use "shorty" aerobars mounted on traditional drop handlebars.

Triathlon-specific swim equipment
Typical equipment for a swim includes a cap, goggles and a swimsuit and/or wetsuit. Usually, participants must wear a swim cap provided by the event. For safety reasons, the swim caps are generally brightly colored for high visibility. The colors may categorize swimmers by event (e.g. Olympic, Sprint) or by heat.
Any artificial propulsion device, e.g. fin, sock, glove, paddle or flotation device except a wet suit, is prohibited. Snorkels, however, are a gray area. Triathlon Canada, Australia Triathlon, USAT and ITU do not specifically disallow snorkels. British Triathlon does not list snorkels as part of the accepted equipment, thus they are disallowed.
Because most triathlon swim stages are conducted in open waters lakes, rivers, or oceans which are often cold, many early races allowed wetsuits. However, typical wetsuits manufactured for snorkeling or water skiing is not optimal for triathlon, because the sleeves generally restrict the range of motion too much for comfortable stroking during the swim.

Fitness for Triathlon
Participants in triathlon often use the sport to improve or maintain their physical fitness. With each sport being an endurance event, training for a triathlon provides cardiovascular exercise benefits. Additionally, triathletes encounter fewer injuries than those who only use running as part of their exercise routine due to the incorporation of low impact swim and bike training.
Athletes who participate in endurance events spend many hours training for those events and this is true for triathlon as well. Injuries that are incurred from long hours of a single activity are not as common in triathlon as they are in single sport events. The cross-training effect that athletes achieve from training for one sport by doing a second activity applies to triathlon training. Additional activities that triathletes perform for cross-training benefits are yoga, pilates, and weight training.

Rules of Triathlon (II)
Other rules of triathlon vary from race to race and generally involve descriptions of allowable equipment for example, wetsuits are allowed in USAT events in the swimming stage of some races when the water temperature is below 79 °F and prohibitions against interference between athletes. Additionally, the use of flippers or other swim propulsion and flotation aids are illegal in triathlon and can result in disqualification.
One important rule involving the cycle leg is that the competitor must be wearing their bike helmet before the competitor mounts the bike and must remain on until the competitor has dismounted; the competitor may remove their helmet at any time as long as they are not on the bicycle e.g. while repairing a mechanical problem. Failure to comply with this rule will result in disqualification. Additionally, while on the bike course, all bicycles shall be propelled only by human force and human power. Other than pushing a bicycle, any propulsive action brought on by use of the hands is prohibited. Should a competitor's bike malfunction they can proceed with the race as long as they are doing so with their bicycle in tow

Rules of Triathlon (I)
While specific rules for triathlon can vary depending on the governing body (e.g. USA Triathlon, ITU), as well as for an individual race venue, there are some basic universal rules. Traditionally, triathlon is an individual sport and each athlete is competing against the course and the clock for the best time. As such, athletes are not allowed to receive assistance from anyone else outside the race, with the exception of race-sanctioned aid volunteers who distribute food and water on the course.
Triathlons are timed in five sequential sections: 1) from the start of the swim to the beginning of the first transition (swim time); 2) from the beginning of the first transition to the end of the first transition (T1 time); 3) from the start of the cycling to the end of the cycling leg (cycling time); 4) from the beginning of the second transition to the end of the second transition (T2 time); 5) and finally from the start of the run to the end of the run, at which time the triathlon is completed. Results are usually posted on official websites and will show for each triathlete his/her swim time; cycle time with transitions included; run time; and total time. Some races also post transition times separately.
