START PROCEDURE

There will be a commom Elite start, and a Rolling Start for the rest of the triathletes not certified as elite, whose bib number order will be the estimated swimming time indicated in the registration. The type of start (Elite or Rolling Start), will be selected by the participant when registering but if the elite start is chosen, this condition must be accredited according to the following criteria:

A quota of 50 places of each sex (female/male) is established for the Elite start.
If the quota of elite places offered is exceeded, the following selection criteria will be applied:
1. First 10 classifieds of the Infinitri 113 Triathlon Peñíscola 2022
2. Top 50 ranked in the 2022 Infinitri Half Distance League
3. 10 places at the discretion of the organizer
4. Registration order
The Elite start will take place in the same wave, separating the male start from the female start.

START PROCEDURE

Elite:

In the first place, the elite category will start, first the male start in a common wave, with all the elite male participants, and later the female start with all the elite female participants.

Rolling Start:

Subsequently, the start procedure will begin in Rolling Start. First of all, the participants will access a pre-start zone where access will be controlled.

After the pre-start, you will go to a call room where the participants will line up in 6 rows under the start line, to make way for the start, where 6 triathletes will start every 6 seconds. Time starts running from the moment the chip control is passed at the starting line.

SWIM: 3,8 KM

The start of the Infinitri 226 Triathlon Peñíscola takes place on the North beach of Peñíscola, where we will start swimming northbound, parallel to Avenida Papa Luna. Once we have reached the farthest north point, we will make a change of direction towards the mythical Templar Castle, surrounding the tombolo in a clockwise direction until we reach the port basin, always with a safety margin with respect to land. The route will be marked with clearly visible buoys at each curve. The arrival at the South beach will be clearly delimited by a finish arch that serves as a reference for the participants, and will give way to the transition area to make the first change of discipline.

Depending on the temperature of the water, the use of neoprene will be allowed, mandatory or prohibited, although due to the date the race is held, it is very likely that it will be allowed and not mandatory. The corridor to the transition zone on the south beach is a stretch of 75 m of sand and 50 m of street.

A security corridor will be created between the rescue vehicles and the support canoes to guarantee that all participants do the segment through the indicated areas. In the event that the weather advises against carrying out the swimming segment along the original route, a plan B is planned where you would swim entirely on the South beach, 2 laps, to avoid risk situations.

T1

BIKE: 174 KM

The bike course begins on Calle Akra Leuka, followed by Avda. Estación, to leave Peñíscola heading west in a long 5km straight. Once we reach the CV-1340, a slightly ascending zone begins (140m of elevation in 15km) until we reach Cálig. From Cálig we will head towards the town of Sant Jordi, once we have passed it, we will make the first U-turn at kilometer 35. From there we will head again towards Peñíscola, passing through Càlig and until making a 180º turn right at the train track bridge (km 60) This loop will be repeated two more times and on the last one we will head towards Peñíscola. It is a fast and undulating circuit in which we will move between 100 and 300 meters high. These roads also stand out for their tranquility, since on a normal day few vehicles pass through them.

The circuit will be closed from km 5 (174 at the comeback) at the entrance to the CV-1340, and there may also be semi-open traffic points to favor traffic. At the entrance and exit of Peñíscola on the CV-141, one lane will be closed and the other open. There will be more than 120 troops adding Civil Protection, Civil Guard and Local Police ensuring your safety, even so, traffic regulations must be respected to guarantee safety.

IT WILL BE COMPLETELY FORBIDDEN TO CIRCULATE IN THE LEFT LANE IN THE DIRECTION OF TRAFFIC, THIS WILL LEAD TO IMMEDIATE DISQUALIFICATION. THE TRAFFIC REGULATIONS MUST BE FOLLOWED AT ALL TIMES.

Back in the old town area, we will do another 180º turn at kilometer 8.8 to start the second of the 5 laps that we will repeat.
