Has anyone heard anything about a regional dri tri? I saw an Instagram post today from a local studio advertising a regional dri tri on April 13. It said the top 13 men and 13 women from the region would be invited to compete. Has anyone done this before?

Yep, and it was amazing! Those other women kicked my ass in gear. I don't know if we were all just uber competitive or if they're all in phenomenal shape on the reg. Either way, it was a blast! At the very end, when the last runner had maybe half a mile left, we all hopped on a treadmill and finished it with her. I finished in 46:32 at my studio and shaved off (edit) 4:30 at the regional dri-tri. My row time was exactly the same and I cut 2 minutes off of my 5K.
It sounds so fun. I wasn’t going to do the regular dri tri this year but it would be fun to do a competitive one. Do you know about how fast the first place finisher was?
I might be wrong, but you can only do the regional one if you win your studio's dri tri (don't know if that's what you meant or not, sorry). My studio's was still competitive, don't get me wrong, and with multiple heats, you never know who will win. First place woman finished in 40:27, first place dude finished in 33:07 at regionals. From what I saw, both the men and women were pretty solidly packed in finish times, finishing within 15-30 seconds after each other. I'm sure you could Google dri tri finish times and find some other, more competitive times.
I need to go back and edit my previous post. Just looked it up and I only shaved off about 4.5 minutes, not 5 haha
I finished first in my studio in 38 minutes last year but this is the first I had heard of a regional one. Its not in my city so im just curious if my time is competitive enough to try for it
Heck yeah!! That's a great finish time and you might improve more this time around. If you can make it, definitely go!
I did the one in September for males. My time was 37:19 and I came in 7th. The winner was around 34:10
The regional is def more fun and competitive.
Do you know what the winning times were?
We do a Regional. I’ve won for women 40+ the last two Dri-Tri’s and qualified for the Regional but couldn’t compete b/c of a conflict. Would love to compete at one some day.
We had a few members participate in a regional dri tri last fall. It was the first time our studio (maybe region) did a regional dri tri.
Holy moly, do you remember your split times?
We’re doing a team based dri-tri (one person does each part) for all the studios in the UK.
I would never qualify for such a thing, but the top three from our studio participate in a regional Dri-Tri with other area studios.
