We had this funky "Tri-Conic" event on the weekend which was a Run, Bike and Swim done over three days. But the distances were varied and a little messy. So what happened was the "triathletes" we kinda got shutout and the 3-event overall awards are left to gather dust. They had 1st-3rd I'll say FPRO and MPRO podium scoring for each event (no AG's). And I wondered how the heck are they going to reconcile all 3 events? The answer is they couldn't!!
So I went to the details in 3-Event waterski and here's how it's done:
The winner of SBR is awarded 1000 points. To find an overall athlete's score you simply take the time fraction of best time/your time and multiply by 1000 as shown in the following:
Top score (mins)/Athlete Score (mins) *1000 = Points awarded for RUN, BIKE or SWIM
Athletes are ranked on total points = RUN+BIKE+SWIM
For example I did a calc for triathlete Brian C from our race this weekend:
RUN 102.5 mins/108.5*1000 = 945 pts (21.1K w/ big hills, this guy was quick)
BIKE 234.5/271.5*1000 = 865 (90km dbl black gravel, great bike leg too)
SWIM 28.3/64.5* 1000 =439 ( 2km but couldn't swim to save his life :)
Total Triathlon score = 2,249 pts
I did some other athletes and the calculation really works well in that it is representative of the aggregate time score, and is distance, even event independent. It also re-balances SBR to 100% equal weighting, which is something we've been dreaming about!
I think this can be used to compare your performances race to race even.
