Indoor Triathlon

• Swim 10 Minutes in 25 yard pool (4 feet depth)

• Bike 30 Minutes on stationary cycle

• Run 20 Minutes on treadmill.

The combined time for the swim, bike and run is 60 minutes, plus two transitions. The first transition between the swim and bike is ten minutes and the second transition between the bike to run is five minutes. Each heat will have a maximum of 6 participants. Three lanes of the pool will be used, with two swimmers in each lane. After completing the swim segment participants will have a 10 minute transition time to change and move to the cycle room for the bike segment. The run segment is upstairs using the treadmills.

Each participant will have 10 minutes for the swim, 30 minutes on the bike, and 20 minutes for the run, with the allotted transitions between activities. Fun and pressure-free, this event is great for both experienced triathletes and those competing in their first race.

Participants must be at least 18 years old to participate in this race.

Relay Team option

As an alternative to an individual completing all three segments of the triathlon, a team of 2 or 3 can participate. The entry fee for a TEAM is $90.00. When registering a team, only one (1) person sets up the team, naming the team and pays the participation fee for the team. All team members must also register to provide your information and sign the waiver.

All three segments are done in sequence (swim, bike, run) and the distance (laps and miles) for each segment will be recorded. The results will be by total distance and by ranked scoring.

This event will benefit the OhioHealth Behavioral Medicine/Addiction Medicine Fellowship. All profits from the Tri McConnell will help with educating physicians in addressing the opioid epidemic. Some areas that physicians receive education in are: inpatient psychiatry, pregnant and postpartum women suffering from opioid use disorder, advocacy for changes in local, state and federal health policies, and hands on experience in outpatient recovery.
