From JackRabbit Sports

We are very excited to announce the JackRabbit Indoor Triathlon series this winter.  Registration is open now for all three races through www.jackrbt.com/indoortri :

 Jan 30^th: Prospect Park YMCA, in Park Slope Brooklyn

Feb 27^th: Asphalt Green on the Upper East Side in Manhattan

March 13^th: McBurney YMCA on 14^th St between 6^th & 7^th.

 All three races are fundraisers for each facility, supporting their community outreach and fitness education programs for kids and adults.

 If you’ve never done an Indoor Triathlon, there are some differences from the classic triathlon format that will make these races a lot of fun for both new and experienced racers.

• The races are time-based, not distance based.  We measure how far you can go in 10 minutes in the pool, 30 minutes on the bike, and 20 minutes on a treadmill.  There are fixed transition times between the sports.

• All three segments count equally.  Strong swimmers and runners can do very well.

• The bike portion is on a spin bike, so if you can spin at a high cadence you’ll do well, but if you’re used to mashing a big gear you’ll find it very challenging.

• In this format, it’s quite possible that the overall winner will be a woman!

 There will be prizes for the overall winners as well as the top finishers in each age group.

This are a great way to test your fitness in the off season, and to make sure your training is on track.
