2012 Y Tri Series
&
The Y Du series Presented by TeamKattouf
The Y Tri Series is excited to be back this year with an improved set of Triathlons and Duathlons for every ability….. from beginner to the advanced athlete and everything in between.
For those who are swim challenged, we are offering a Duathlon at each race consisting of a 1 mile run in place of the swim then continue on with the rest of the race course.
Each race is affiliated with YMCA’s and as such, are completely non-profit rather than with the privately owned races with a possible charity attached.
There is no other nonprofit quite like the Y! That’s because in 10,000 neighborhoods across the nation, we have the presence and partnerships to not just promise, but to deliver, lasting personal and social change. So, when you compete in any of our races, be assured your dollars are going to be spent wisely, that’s peace of mind.
SERIES SCORING
The series scoring is simple. Complete 6 races to qualify for series awards. Your score will be based upon your best 6 races. Points are scored based upon your age group (50 for 1st place, 45 for second, etc). Olympic races count as double point races.
Series points are awarded for individuals competing in the Triathlon Age Group category and the duathlon. Athena and Clydesdale categories are not scored for series points. Also note your points and races from Tri and Du are scored separate. You must compete in 6 triathlons OR 6 duathlons to qualify (not 3 triathlons and 3 duathlons).
Each of the races this year will be directed by a triathlete, someone who knows what you are looking for in a race, from the swag you receive to the marking on the course that keep you on track during the heat of the battle. We design the races as if we are participating and want the best overall experience that we can deliver.
AWARDS
Cash awards will be given for overall and age groups.
Inside Out Sports will be providing the winners prizes as before. They have been a super supporter and partner for us over the years and we appreciate their contribution to the sport.
PHOTOGRAPHY
We are pleased to have Mike Murray again as our series photographer at all the races for 2012. His company the Murray Group covers over 200 sports events every year, and are the benchmark for photos in the Southeast. There will be links on all the race pages on the website to order and view your pictures.
