Teams
| What is a team? | |
| A team is a group of 2 or 3 women who complete the TriWoman course in a relay. One person does each leg of the triathlon or in a team of 2 one person does two legs. (If you want to enter as a group of women who do all parts of the event together, you need to all register as individuals). | ![]() |
| How do I know my team is registered? | |
|
The person who was in charge of registering you will receive an email confirming your registration. On the day, and at registration, your team will be registered under your team name. |
|
| What happens at transition? | |
|
Teams do not have a separate area in transition, all athletes are in together. For teams, the cyclist waits at their bike with their hand on the seat of the bike that is still racked. When the swimmer arrives, the swimmer gives the timing bracelet/transponder to the cyclist, who puts it on their ankle. The cyclist does her part, and on return, meets the runner/walker who has her hand where the bike is to be racked. Once the bike is racked, the cyclist takes off the transponder, and gives it to the runner who puts it on their ankle and heads off to the finish. |
|
| How do we swap our timing chips over? | |
| Transponders are passed from one to the other in the teams. All athletes must wear the transponder on their ankle. This is to ensure the timing mats, which are on the ground, pick up the signal to record your time. | |
| Do all team members get a T-shirt? | |
| Yes! Everyone in your team will get a T-shirt. | |
