Here are 4 Catagories/Reasons to Race in the Aquabike Division:

  1. Injured Athletes 

Athletes with current or chronic run injuries should consider the Quarter distanxe. It can allow you to stay at a high level of fitness and improving on your swim and bike times while your injury heals.

2. Training for your next long distance race

A well timed Quarter or Half Distance Aquabike event can be the perfect training for a longer distance race in the future. The main part of triathlon that fatigues the body and requires recovery is the run. By eliminating this obstacle you can test your race pace in a race environment and make training changes accordingly.

3. If you just hate running

Find yourself always dreading leaving T2? Then stop! Aquabike participants time stops when they enter T2

4. Staying competitive

Some of us are just not fast runners, but we want to be competitive. With Aquabike now being part of the USA National Championships, those with fast swim and bike times can find themselves representing Team USA at the ITU World Championships!
