Concept

In Pool TRIathlon is a simulation of a triathlon race, which takes place in a swimming pool area using swimming paths for the swimming part, spinning bikes for the cycling part and curved treadmills for the running part.

All machines are of very high standards and identical to each other, so as to ensure the integrity in the competition of athletes. These machines are offered by the great sponsor of the event:Fitness ART

TRIMORE Sport Events aims, through these events, to offer athletes the opportunity, in controlled conditions and in the form of training, to compete by measuring their performance in a competitive environment, in periods mainly outside the classic triathlon season. At the same time, TRIMORE Sport Events wishes to give triathlon a developmental character, so that more athletes get the opportunity to try and love the sport, gradually expanding the pool of triathletes of the country.

The event’s duration is about 30-50 minutes, for a 11,6k race (Super Sprint Triathlon category). For spectacularity and competition reasons, the race will take place with start and finish in the pool and intermediate passage from the bikes (twice) and the treadmills (once with double distance).

The event takes place with the co-Organization of the municipality of Haidari, that embraced the idea and contributed greatly to its realization, innovating in the field of triathlon.

Race Info

300m swimming – 4km bicycle – 3km running - 4 km bicycle – 300m swimming

Athletes follow the series of swimming, cycling, running, with no break in between, unless they need to have a break between the parts of the event.

The race starts with water start (from the pole or right next to it), each athlete strictly enters the route set by the organizer. At the end of the first part of the swim the athlete should exit the pool -on the right or left side of the pole - safely. At this point there will be a volunteer, where he will provide assistance - only for lifting, if requested.

Then the athlete, after wiping well with his personal towel, starts the part of the bicycle, for which he has the right to use the special cycling shoes SPD, unless he wishes not to use them.

After completing the cycling part, the athlete steps down from the bicycle and changes shoes – if he wore the SPD shoes – and goes up the aisle to start the running section. It is not recommended to run barefoot, due to the risk of injury.

After completing the running part, another cycling part is repeated in the exact same way.

Finally, the athlete completes the race, with the last part of swimming.

The race is completed when the athlete hits the timer on the wall under the waterboard.

Each athlete will be closely monitored by a judge - appointed by the organization.

For any rule violation there will be a time penalty or cancellation from the race.

In specific areas there will be a water supply station that will have water, energy gels, as well as bananas

Each athlete will be able to be fed at any time he wishes, following a very specific route and without interfering with the other athletes.

Participants can use the special " SPD " shoes or their regular running shoes, simply by turning the pedal on its second face. In the first case (SPD) they have better "bonding" on the bike, thus performance, while in the second case, they do not lose time when moving from bike to run and vice versa.
