IronMAC Indoor Triathlon – Sunday, March 21, 2010 As another fundraiser for our club, we host an event that allows the new or veteran triathlete an opportunity to experience a triathlon before jumping right into the spring/summer racing season. The friendly people at the Michigan Athletic Club (MAC) allow us to run an indoor triathlon during the winter. The event consists of a 20-minute swim in a 25-meter pool, 20-minute bike on a stationary bike, and a 20-minute run on the indoor track. Athletes obtain points based on the distance covered in each discipline, with the winner receiving the most points. Six person waves are sent every 20 minutes, which truly allows each athlete to focus on their own race and not worry about other athletes. It is a great opportunity to give triathlons a try!
