APRIL 2023 PARATRIATHLON VIRTUAL COMBINE

Calling all Paratriathletes! Are you or someone you know looking to be the next Team USA Paralympic hopeful? USA Paratriathlon is hosting another virtual combine this February to help find and recruit new talent. Between February 6th - 24th, athletes can complete two different time trials (TTs) - a 200-meter swim and a one kilometer run. We will combine the two TT's and log the results internally to track athletes' results and progression. Athletes can submit their results here between April 1-30 to potentially be considered for a 2023 Paratriathlon Development Camp opportunity.

COMBINE DETAILS

• Athletes will have between April 1-30 to achieve their best verifiable metrics for a:
• 200 swim (please specify pool length when submitting results) 
• 1-kilometer run – preferably on a track, but if not possible, verifiable GPS data on a flat 500m out and back road/path. Point-to-point activities will not be accepted.
  
  
• Athletes will submit individual times for both tests, but the goal is to have the fastest possible combined time you can achieve.
  
  
• Starting Feb. 6, athletes can submit their results here. All submissions must be received by April 30, 2023.

• If there are issues submitting via the Google form provided, please submit results to benchmark@usatriathlon.org
  
  
• Only one submission per athlete allowed, so please wait until you are happy with your results before submitting..
  
  
• Please note that these results WILL NOT qualify any athletes for any national or development team funding, but the results may be considered for future camp opportunities.

WHY IS USAT HIGH PERFORMANCE HOSTING A VIRTUAL COMBINE?

To collect data to help identify future Paralympians, help guide future USA Paratriathlon goals, provide an outlet for goal setting and friendly competition outside of racing, and give athletes an opportunity to gauge and track their current fitness and prepare and sharpen for potential future racing.

These results are very helpful for the future of our Elite Paratriathlon development programs, so please spread the word and let's get as many athletes involved with this as possible!

Please note these results have no impact on current or future High Performance team funding, they are specifically for the benefit of identifying and developing future USA Triathlon High Performance programs/athletes.
