This Sunday, February 22nd, 2015, the Kishwaukee YMCA welcomes people of all fitness levels to their indoor triathlon. The triathlon will consist of a 10 minute swim in the Y’s indoor pool, a 20 minute bike on a facility cycling bike and a 15 minute run on a treadmill. The Y’s indoor triathlon is an opportunity to experience a unique challenge whether that be by yourself or a team of 3.
Kishwaukee Family YMCA is located at 2500 W. Bethany Rd., in Sycamore. For questions, call 815-756-9577. Specific rules about the event are spelled out below:
10 Minutes in the Pool:
The Indoor Triathlon begins in the pool. Participants will swim for 10 minutes using any type of stroke. Each group of participants will start and end at the same time, signaled by a whistle.
Transition 1:
Racers will be given 10 minutes to go to the locker room to take an optional shower and change into clothing suitable for cycling and running.
20 Minutes on the Bike:
Each participant will bike for 20 minutes on a stationary bike. The exact distance is what counts. Participants may set the resistance, seat height and handlebars to whatever works best for them.
Transition 2:
Racers will be given 5 minutes. Participants may choose to bring a change of shoes, a second water bottle, or a snack if needed.
15 Minutes on the Treadmill:
Runs will take place on the treadmills. Each participant will have 15 minutes on the treadmill to run as far as possible using a 1% incline. Distance is calculated for all three activities and the cumulative distance determines your finishing placement.
Awards:
Medals for 1st, 2nd & 3rd place will be given to the overall male and female performers and the top three finishers of each age group.
