Mini-Series 9

Please read the Competitor Briefing: http://pactrac.co.uk/media/files/mini_series_briefing_5.pdf

The Mini-Series is a series of 8 Wednesday night, club triathlon events. New Members can join on the night, by filling out a Membership Form. The course is based around Oundle Swimming Pool. Registration from 6:45pm.

NOTE: The BTF's Drafting rule has now been extended to 10 metres.

Some good news; the BTF have relaxed their insurance demands, and non-members can now compete!
Non-members can do two mini-series triathlon's before becoming a member.

Swim - 400 yards. 8 lengths of the pool.

bike - 10 miles. 1-circuit around Glapthorn, Upper Benefield, Lower Benefield and Oundle. A couple of nasty climbs, but 1-mile of twisty decent around the Benefield's and a 40mph stretch just before the Golf Course!

run - 3.5 miles. Out to Glapthorn and back the same way.

There is a Trophy (male and female), with your best 5 Mini-Series Races to count.
Your best 2 Mini-Series also count towards the Club Championships.

A Bike Helmet is compulsory (to BS, Snell or Ansi standards).

Entry is on the night.
Arrive before 7:00pm to set up your Transition. Registration is from 6:45 to 7:20pm. Briefing 7:20pm. 31 or more entries may result in 2 waves being run. First wave starts 7:30pm.

Please read the event briefing before registering. A condition of registration is to have read the full briefing.

Any breach of the rules, in particular drafting, will result in a DQ. The committee reserves the right to prevent any member competing in subsequent club events for breach of the rules.

PLEASE NOTE:
YOU MUST STAY AT LEAST 10 METRES BEHIND THE BIKE IN FRONT, UNLESS YOU INTEND TO OVERTAKE, IN WHICH CASE YOU HAVE 20 SECONDS TO DO SO. (BTF Rules changed in 2016 and the Draft Zone was increased from 7 to 10 metres).
