Relay

The team relay challenges the team spirit of two or three athletes. The three person relay consists of a swimmer, a cyclist and a runner. The two person relay allows one athlete to choose any two disciplines of the race regardless. The legs follow the triathlon sequence and the only requirement is to complete them within the checking times. In case the participants cannot fit in these times, the whole team will be disqualified.
