Relay exchange
The exchange takes place inside the transition zone at the allocated space according to the bib number. Switching elsewhere will result in disqualification of the team. NB! The entire team should not wait in the transition zone, when the cyclist has entered the transition zone it is not allowed to leave until the cyclist has exchanged with the swimmer. The timing chip is the “baton”; it is attached to the right ankle. At the end of each stage, it is handed over to the next team member, who attaches it to their ankle.
Swim
All participants are provided with a swim cap, which must be used. Own swim cap / neoprene cap can be used under this. Wet suits are allowed if the water temperature is below 22 degrees, and highly recommended if the water temperature is below 18 degrees and for anyone who is not a skilled swimmer. Expected water temperature is between 16 – 19 ºC.
The swimming arena is a course of 750 meters, where you round the with buoys on you left side (i.e., you swim anticlockwise), marked sprint-distance. After swimming, one runs up to the transition zone for changing. Swimming is monitored by guards on land, from kayaks and boat with rescue swimmers.
Bike
The cycle route leaves the transition zone, takes Sognsveien to the roundabout and onto Carl Kjelsens vei, then left up Maridalsveien. The route continues to Skar in Maridalen, where it turns and returns back to the transition zone along the same route. You can freely choose your bike type. Helmet is mandatory. Drafting is not allowed: You must be at least 10 meters behind the bike in front or pass other participants within 20 seconds. Violation of the rules may result in disqualification.
IMPORTANT!
After mountline, there are 500 meters of narrow path with oncoming cyclists before entering Sognsveien. This is a NO-PASS zone (overtaking avoided).
