The alchemy of triathlon

Torus Triathlon In Da House is the only indoor triathlon event held in winter in Poland. The contestants will able to compete on two distances: the sprint distance (in the day hours) and the ¼ Ironman distance (at night). The entire event will last at least 15 hours.

“There will be a lot of novelties in this year’s edition of Torus Triathlon In Da House. Also, the standards of the competition will be higher. The contenders will ride their own bicycles which will be attached to trainers and will be able to observe their progress and current place in the race on screens. Thanks to this the competition will be authentic and it will last until the very end. We also hope for cheer from the supporters,” says Iwona Guzowska, sports director of the TTIDH competition, a sportswoman and a triathlete.

In the sprint distance, the contestants will have to swim 750m in the swimming pool, cycle 20 km and run 5 km on a treadmill. All this within 1.5 hours. A total of 72 daredevils will be competing against each other in six groups; they will include both amateurs and professionals. The first twelve contestants are to start the race at 9:00 am and the last participants are to finish it before 9 pm.

Next, the ¼ Ironman distance race will start, during which 24 contestants will have to swim 950m, ride 45 km and run 10.5 km. The time limit for this distance is 3 hours. The last contestants will finish the competition in the early morning hours.

This year’s edition of TTIDH will also raise money for a teenage Ola who requires a costly treatment due to her rare autoimmune disease. Both TTIDH organizers and contestants got involved in helping her out. Supporters will also be able to get involved in the charity action at the venue. Donations can also be transferred directly to the foundation which supports the girl, Fundacja Pomocy Dzieciom i Osobom Chorym 'Kawałek NIieba', on 31 1090 2835 0000 0001 2173 1374 with transfer title: "Ola TTIDH2016."
