This week we will look at the rule that allows for different categories of membership.
The rules remind us that triathlon is a challenging and strenuous sport and must be taken seriously.
Over 99 percent of USA Triathlon members are age group competitors. Article 3.2, Age Group Competition, defines how age is determined and also allows for weight class competition.
Reading 3.3 just before a triathlete arrives on site might be a good pre-race ritual and one that raises the level of enjoyment for all. In a word, it's all about civility.
Participants must cover the prescribed course in its entirety. It is the participant's responsibility to know the course.
This particular rule provides the penalties and enforcement directive for participants who fail to treat others with courtesy and respect.
Participants must rely only upon themselves to complete the race. Only race management may provide any assistance in the form of food, drink, and help with equipment breakdowns.
