Triathlon Series.

There are 6 events in the Triathlon Series. The best 3 events count towards series.
This must include the Eaton Dorney Steel event as a compulsory race for T2 and T3’s only.

Points are calculated based on the winning time with the winner receiving 10000 points.
Subsequent results are calculated by dividing the winning time by the recorded time for all other athletes and multiplying the result by 10000 (eg winner 18mins 10000pts, 2nd 18 minutes 36 would receive 9677 points 18 mins divided by 18m 36s x 10000=9677).

The series results will be coordinated and calculated by the Junior Coordinator. The results will be published on the regional website.

Prizes for the top 3 male and female in each age group will be awarded at the end of the series
