Westport Tri neutral zone

WattsUp · 2016-06-13 09:42:04

Did westport tri at weekend. Great race and very well organised. The only downside was the neutral zone on bike which was total of 150m in and out of transition at 15kmh............Very hard to police that and while I kept close to it I think others were going at least double the speed limit. Sounds small but there is 30s…

Sounds small but there is 30s advantage for anyone who does 30km/h compared to sticking with the rules of 15km/h.

Maybe it would be better to move the mount line so that people have to run that section. I know it's a bit long but it's probably better than a vague rule that's hard to police.

Other option is to put timing mat at each end of the zone and penalise anyone who exceeds a minimum time but that's expensive.
