If 1 out of the 3 people in a triathlon relay “flake” and don’t show, will the RD let the 2 people complete the 3 events. The biker in an upcoming relay looks to be flaking and I need to know if the 1 person can swim and then bike, and then hand off to the runner.
Will the RD let a new biker get into the team???
Usually you can do a tri-team with just two people.
Often you can also have someone doing the entire triathlon, be your swimmer on the team.
I’d double check with the race director just to be sure, though.
I don’t see why not, but I would check with the RD first to be sure. In theory, you should be at a disadvantage for this.
My girlfriend and I won the relay at a triathlon 2 years ago - she swam and ran and I did the bike. We had planned it that way.

Thanks guys - need ammo (info) before I bare my soul to the RD.
Speak to the race referee beforehand but I’m sure they’d be fine with this one. Anything to encourage participation !
Just tell him Ze Gopha said so.
He’ll then hand you the keys to his car and offer to let you date his wife.
All genuflect before me and hand over your riches and women as I am the duly appointed representative of Ze Gopha.
