Scoring Overview: The Indoor Triathlon is based on time rather than distance – meaning you receive points for going further in a specific period of time, not going faster over a fixed distance. Participants are graded on a curve. The furthest distance in each category gets the most points (actual number is based on total participants), the shortest receives 1 point, and your “score” for the discipline is based on the points you achieve. All three disciplines count equally toward your final score.

Event Divisions: Ranking are provided for Overall, Open Men (39 years and younger), Open Women, Masters Men (ages 40+) and Masters Women (40+).

As part of the Commitment Day movement, Life Time Tri’s mission is to inspire athletes of all athletic abilities to consider and commit to triathlon in 2020. We believe triathlon to be the ultimate gateway to a Healthy Way of Life, and cordially invite you into the sport’s perfect launch pad.

In 2019, Life Time Fitness hosted nearly 100 Indoor Triathlon events across North America. These club-based events offer inspirationally-charged, safe and simulated environment for athletes of all fitness levels. More than 7,500 athletes completed these events, more than half of whom had zero previous experience.

Upon becoming an indoor triathlete, it’s our hope to inspire finishers to consider participating in one of our outdoor Life Time Tri Series races, featuring: Super Sprint, Sprint and International distances.

Regardless of history, athleticism or goals, our Life Time Tri team is here to support your journey and celebrate your accomplishments along the way. We hope to see you soon!

What is Indoor Tri?

The indoor triathlon is based on time rather than distance — meaning you receive points for going further in a specific period of time, not going faster over a fixed distance. The total event lasts for 75 minutes, consisting of:

  • Swim: 10 minutes in the pool
  • Transition 1: 10-minutes (move from the pool to cycle studio)
  • Bike: 30 minutes on an indoor bike
  • Transition 2: 5-minutes  (move from the cycle studio to treadmills)
  • Run: 20 minutes on a treadmill

Participants are graded on a curve. The furthest distance in each category gets the most points (actual number is based on total participants) and the shortest receives one point. Your “score” for the discipline is based on the points you achieve. All three disciplines count equally toward your final score. Therefore, your rank and score will not be determined until all participants have completed the event.

Transition times are fixed between events and do not count toward participants’ scores.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you count laps in the pool?

We measure your swim distance in lengths, not laps. Each time you touch the wall counts as one length. Volunteers will be at each lane counting for you — all you have to do is swim!

Do I have to swim a certain stroke?

No, you can swim any stroke you like, including dog paddle, side stroke, elementary backstroke, etc. You may even walk, if absolutely necessary. Whatever keeps you moving in the water.

What if I need a break during the swim?

You may rest on the walls, hold onto the lane line or stand on the bottom of the pool to rest. You may stop and rest for as long as you like, but keep in mind the clock is ticking!

Can I wear a life jacket or use a snorkel during the swim?

No. We do not allow any flotation devices or snorkels/fins to be used during the swim.

Will there be a place to change out of my swimsuit before the bike?

The locker rooms will serve as your transition area. You will have 10 minutes to change out of your suit, into your biking and running gear. This goes by much faster than you think, so keep moving. You should bring your running stuff with you to the spin studio as you will not have time to go back to the locker room after the cycle portion. If you are not a Life Time member, we will provide you with a locker key for use during the event.

What type of bikes do we use?

All participants will use the indoor bikes located in the spin studio. Bikes for the event will be set in two rows near the front of the studio.

How do you keep track of distance on the indoor bike

All bikes in the 2018 Indoor Tri events will have a power console that can accurately track distance, speed and power.  The distance shown on the power console after the 30 minute cycle portion will be captured by an event volunteer.

What is the resistance like on the indoor bike?

Each participant will be able to set their own resistance at a level that is comfortable for their ability.  Keep in mind, injuries can occur if you spin too fast so we recommend each participant set the tension at a level that is safe and comfortable based on their cycle experience.

What is the incline on the treadmill?

You may leave the incline at zero on the treadmill or any higher setting that you prefer.

Can I use a personal music player during the bike and run?

Absolutely. Headphones are allowed for the bike and run (and for those of you techies with the waterproof headphones, you may use them in the pool as well). Keep in mind we will have music playing overhead in the cycle studio.

When and where will results be posted?

Results will be posted following the conclusion of the event on this site.

How are the points calculated?

Total available points are based on the total number of participants in the event. For this example, let’s say there are 100 people in event. The athlete who swam the farthest in the pool receives 100 points. The second farthest swim receives 99 points and so on. Same for the bike and run. The three scores for each participant are totaled for an overall score.

Can my child participate with me?

Yes, although children must be 12 years of age or older to participate in the Indoor Tri.

Volunteer

Be part of the IN crowd, volunteer at your local Indoor Tri!
There’s no better way to get inspired and see what Indoor Triathlon is all about than by volunteering. All volunteers receive an Indoor Tri water bottle, and the satisfaction of supporting so many people through their special day.

  • Participant check-in
  • Recording of distance for swim, bike and treadmills
  • Transitions

Event Crew are required to be on site one hour prior the event and may be asked to stay no later than one hour following the event.
