Racing by the Rules: Insights from Triathlon Officials

The TriDot Triathlon Podcast

A triathlon has specific regulations that must be followed, requiring designated individuals to oversee their implementation. These rules are in place to ensure both safety and fairness for you. The presence of officials is intended to create a positive experience for all participants. On this podcast, our guests, two USA Triathlon officials, will discuss the various roles and responsibilities of the officiating team. Then, host Andrew Harley asks them to share their stories and experiences from race day. What are the most common infractions athletes commit? What are some of the most strange occurrences the officials have witnessed? How does new technology, such as Race Ranger, influence the enforcement of the rules? Listen in for all this, and more.
