Oceanman - Ωκεάνιος
Event description
Competitors cover a 1.4 km (approx.) course that includes a swim leg, a board leg, a surf ski leg, and a beach sprint finish. Except for the differences noted in this section, the conditions of racing of each leg are as generally required for the individual conditions of that discipline including the rules governing the component disciplines. The sequence of legs shall be determined by draw at the commencement of each competition. The same ballot shall determine the order of legs for the Oceanman/Oceanwoman Relay. If the surf ski leg is first, competitors will start with a typical in-water start. Starting positions: Competitors must start the race from their allotted beach position. Competitors must commence craft legs from the correct allotted beach positions. The starting positions are reversed for the board and surf ski legs. For example, in a 16-competitor race in which a competitor has drawn position 1: the competitor commences the initial craft leg from position 1 but commences the other craft leg from position 16. Competitor’s 1st craft leg starting position 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ...1
