Is this a drafting race?
This is a non-Drafting Race. Participants need to be out of the drafting zone of another participant during their bike leg.
The drafting zone is defined as a rectangular area 7 meters long (23 feet) by 2 meters wide (6 feet 6 inches) surrounding each bicycle. The longer sides of the zone begin at the leading edge of the front wheel and run backward parallel to the bicycle; the front wheel divides the short side of the zone into two equal parts, each being one meter wide.
A participant may enter the drafting zone of another cyclist without penalty, if he or she enters the drafting zone from the rear, closes the gap and overtakes the leading cyclist all within no more than 15 seconds. Anyone caught longer in the draft zone will face a penalty.
How does the Team Relay work?
Each Team Relay can have 2-3 participants.
With 2 participants, one participant will complete 2 legs while the second will do 1 leg of the race.
With 3 participants, each participant will complete 1 leg of the race. It will be up to the Team to decide on this.
1 Timing Chip will be passed between participants. All hand offs will need to be completed at the Timing Chip Team Relay tent at Transition.
