DU/TRIATHLONS Duathlons are run-bike or run-bike-run events. Triathlons are swim-bike- run events. Awards are usually in 5 year age groups as in running events. Entry fees are typically doubled for duathlons, tripled for triathlons. Swim: Usually in open water (lake, river, ocean) over course marked with buoys. No fins, paddles, or flotation devices. Goggles are recommended. Wetsuits are allowed if the water is below 78 degrees. For wave starts (several groups spaced a few minutes apart), you will be supplied with a color coded swim cap. Finish clock is for first wave; your time is adjusted. Your race number is body marked on arms and legs with a black marking pen. Bike: Normally on roads open to traffic with intersections controlled giving right of way to cyclists. ANSI or Snell approved bicycle helmet is required. No drafting: you must not follow another bicycle within 7 meters (4 bike lengths) behind and less than 1 meter (3 ft) to one side for more than 15 seconds. Keep to right; pass on left. Do not cross center line in road. Bikes are numbered (on crossbar) and must be placed in the corresponding numbered bike rack during the swim and run. Run: This is the only time you need your paper race number. ORIENTEERING Be the first to reach a series of checkpoints in the woods using a map and compass. Each event offers several courses ranging in difficulty from 1 to 5 miles, and string-o for the children (1/4 mile marked with string). Compete as an individual or with family as a group. Start anytime between 10:30 AM and 1:30 PM unless otherwise indicated. Entry fees usually $3-5 per group. For more information, contact the Florida Orienteering Club, Bob and Janet Putnam 407-366-9603 or Frank Kuhn 407-242-9480. Events are listed in the calendar. HASHING A drinking club with a running problem. Run, climb, crawl, and wade through 2-5 miles of woods, weeds, and swamp following a trail marked with flour. Snakes, gators, impenetrable jungle, and a maze of dead-end trails will challenge you as you hunt for the hidden beer truck. No clock, no awards, no winner or losers, but lots of fun. There are over 80,000 hashers in over 1000 clubs in over 100 countries around the world. Call the Hasher Hotline, 407-679-0649 for dates and locations for all nearby clubs below.
