Inside-Out Sports North Carolina Triathlon Series rules state that once you compete in a particular race category in an Inside-Out Sports North Carolina Triathlon Series race - you must remain in that same category for all future Inside-Out Sports North Carolina Triathlon Series races in that calendar year. The exception to this rule are the Novice and Masters Novice categories. You may begin the year as a Novice or Masters Novice and then switch into another category (ie: age group, clydesdale, etc.)
Below is a brief description of each race category:
Open - Category for Elite participants. These are typically the fastest people in the race and they compete on an Elite/Professional level.
Masters Open - Same as above, but these Elite participants are 40 and over.
Age Group - Participants competing in their age group.
Clydesdale - Category for male participants who are over 200 lbs.
Master Clydesdale - Category for male participants who are over 200 lbs. and are 40 or over.
Athena - Category for women over 150 lbs.
Novice - Category for beginner participants. Participants competing as a Novice have usually done less than 3 events.
Master Novice - Same as Novice but these participants are beginners who are 40 or over.
NOTE: You may fit into one or more of the above categories, so whichever category you choose to compete in is completely your choice. Choose the category that you feel you would have the most fun competing in.
USAT's "Age Up" Policy:
An athlete's age for any USAT sanctioned race will be his/her age as of Dec. 31, 2010 . The age he/she is on 12/31 will determine his/her racing age group. If an athlete is due to "age-up" into the next group, it will happen at the beginning of the year, not after the athlete's birthday. This action aligns regular U.S. age group racing with the method used by USA Triathlon for its National Rankings Program and its new Grand Prix Series.
Example: John Smith is 39 and will turn 40 on November 20, 2010.
John will be considered 40 for all 2010 races - and will race in the 40-44 age group at all 2010 races.
Sally Jones is 29 and will turn 30 on July 3, 2010.
Sally will be considered 30 for all 2010 races - and will race in the 30-34 age group at all 2010 races.
This same policy applies to the all race categories in Inside-Out Sports North Carolina Triathlon Series races (Open, Clydesdale, etc).
Example: Fred Peters is 39 and will turn 40 on August 15, 2010.
Fred has registered to race in the "Open" category.
Since Fred will turn 40 in 2010 and will be considered 40 in all 2010 races, Fred will automatically be switched into the "Masters Open" category.
Participant Meeting
A participant orientation meeting will be held at 6:00 PM on Friday, October 1st at the race site (Swim start location - lake front). We will cover as many details as possible about the race and questions will be encouraged. A representative from USA Triathlon will also be on hand to discuss USAT issues and concerns relative to rules and safety. This meeting should last about 30 minutes - we encourage everyone to attend.
NOTE: There will be NO pre-race instructions given on race morning.
