Pre 6am:
Participants will queue their bikes and run gear in the transition area set up in front of Go Tri Sports. We will check your cycling computer before the start - cycling computer must have the trip distance zeroed out - reading "0" miles.
6am:
Cycling leg begins. Cyclists may ride anywhere. Cycling miles may be logged only by the cycling computer on your bike - NO exceptions. You are responsible for the function of your computer and your bike - i.e., there is no bike support other than the mechanics at Go Tri Sports available during normal business hours. You are welcome to get help anywhere you like during the cycling leg. ALL cyclists must be back in the transition area by 12pm (or sooner) - NO exceptions - i.e., no cycling miles will be counted if you arrive back to transition area after 12pm.
12pm:
Running leg begins. Runners will cover a set course from 12pm to 6pm - 6hrs. The run course will be approx. 3mi. for the first 5 hours - then, the run course will change to a 1mi. course for the final hour of the run. The run course will be a loop course.
Each loop will go past Go Tri Sports - an aid station will be set up for runners to receive hydration and nutrition. We will count your run loops - but, you are responsible for letting us know when you complete a loop. No run miles will count that are not completed by 6pm - i.e., if you beginning a loop at 5:30pm and do not finish by 6pm - then those miles do not count. Total run miles will be calculated by the number of loops completed x the distance of the loop.
Post 6pm:
12 Hours of Head Celebration in the Go Tri Sports Courtyard. Food and beverages (adult and youth) for everyone. Awards will be given to fittest male and female on earth.
The Scoring for this event will be calculated as follows:
Bike = Actual Miles
Run = Actual Miles x 4
Total = Bike + Run = Total Miles
Narrative: The bike miles will be scored by taking your actual number of miles. The run miles will be scored by taking your actual miles multiplied by 4**. Then the Total Miles will be scored by adding the Bike Miles plus the Run Miles.
**We are muliplying the run miles by 4 in the attempt to level any bias in the event toward the cycling or running. The multiple of 4 was determined by thinking a runner could walk a 15min mile over the 6 hour period - or, 4 miles in one hour - then multiplying 4 miles by 4 makes it 16 miles for that hour. We also believe most cyclist could ride a 16 miles per hour over the 6 hour period. Hopefully, this will balance the activities - and make it a more competitve event.
Teams may participate. Teams may consist of up to 5 members. Of the 5 members, no more than 3 can participate in either leg - i.e., max of 3 cyclists or 3 runners. A team member may both cycle and run for the Team.
