Event Format
The Tri McConnell Indoor Triathlon is an indoor triathlon held at the McConnell Heart Health Center in Columbus, Ohio. The event consists of timed segments in a controlled environment. The individual competition involves a 10-minute swim in a 25-yard pool, a 30-minute session on a stationary cycle, and a 20-minute run on a treadmill.
The total time for these three activities is 60 minutes, with additional transition periods included. A 10-minute transition is allotted after the swim to change and move to the cycle room. A 5-minute transition follows the bike segment before moving to the treadmills, which are located upstairs.
Race Details
Participants compete in heats with a maximum of 6 people per heat. Three lanes of the pool are used, with two swimmers sharing each lane. Scoring is based on the distance completed in each segment. Swimmers' distances are calculated by the number of pool lengths completed. Distances on the bike and run are recorded to the nearest hundredth of a mile. Final results are determined by total distance and a ranked scoring system.
A relay team option is available for teams of two or three people. All three segments are completed in the standard sequence by different team members.
Participants must be at least 18 years old. All individual entrants receive a royal blue waterproof bag. The event's profits benefit the OhioHealth Behavioral Medicine/Addiction Medicine Fellowship. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
