7.
After completing requirements 1-6, do ONE of the following (complete all of the activities on the same day and consecutively) for the multisport focus area you selected in requirement 3(d), including demonstrating a smooth and safe transition between each:
You must choose exactly one option from this requirement. This page helps you decide which race simulation matches the format you selected earlier.
Your Options
- Req 7a — Triathlon Simulation: Complete a swim-bike-run sequence and experience the full three-discipline flow.
- Req 7b — Duathlon Simulation: Start with a run, move to the bike, then finish with another run while managing your pacing across two run legs.
- Req 7c — Aquathlon Simulation: Combine a swim and run with one key transition from water to land.
- Req 7d — Aquabike Simulation: Swim first, then settle into the bike leg and finish on wheels.
How to Choose
Choosing your race simulation
Compare the practical demands of each option
- Triathlon: Requires confidence in all three disciplines and the most gear. You gain the fullest multisport experience.
- Duathlon: Best if you want to stay on land. You gain more pacing practice across two runs.
- Aquathlon: Simpler setup with swim-plus-run focus. You gain experience shifting from the water to running legs.
- Aquabike: Good if you prefer swimming and cycling without the final run. You gain endurance practice with lower impact than run-heavy formats.
A good choice is not the one that sounds toughest. It is the one that matches the branch you prepared for in Requirement 4 and lets you complete the sequence safely in one continuous effort.
The first option page covers the full swim-bike-run triathlon sequence.
