<p><span style="color:rgb( 236 , 240 , 241 )"><strong>OPEN RELAY: </strong>Relay teams may consist of 2 or 3 people, completing all 3 legs of the race. Upon entering T1, the swimmer must 'tag' the cyclist, at which point the cyclist may un-rack the bike and exit transition. During T2, the cyclist must rack their bike, then 'tag' the runner, at which point the runner may exit transition. Athletes cannot have a time advantage by having a bike un-racked ahead of the swimmer coming in or begin running before the bike is racked. </span></p>
