Common Rules Violations in Triathlon
From USA Triathlon:
-
 Helmets: Only helmets approved by the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) may be used. Helmets must be worn at all times while on your bike. This means before, during, and after the event.
Penalty: Disqualification
Aside: I have seen this happen at a race. A race official was standing at the transition area entrance, and anyone who was riding their bike from parking without a helmet or without the chin strap buckled was disqualified on the spot. This isn't an idle threat. Be safe: helmet on and buckled before you touch your bike, before, after, and during the race! - Chin Straps: Chin straps must be buckled at all times when on a bicycle. DO NOT unbuckle your chin strap unless you are off your bicycle.
Penalty: Disqualification on the course; Variable time penalty in transition area. - Outside Assistance: No assistance other than that offered by race and medical officials may be used.
Penalty: Variable time penalty - Transition Area: All equipment must be placed in the properly designated and individually assigned bike area. The wheel of the bicycle must be down on the side of the assigned space. All participants must return their bicycles to an upright position in their designated bicycle area.
No person shall interfere with another participant's equipment or impede the progress of another participant.
All handlebar ends must be solidly plugged.
No glass containers into the transition area.
Penalty: Variable time penalty - Drafting: Keep at least three bike lengths of clear space between you and the cyclist in front. If you move into this area to pass, you must complete the pass within 15 seconds.
Positioning: keep to the right hand side of the lane of the road unless passing.
Blocking: Do not ride on the left side of the lane without passing anyone, and/or interfere with other cyclists attempting to pass.
Overtaken: Once passed, you must immediately exit the draft zone from the rear, before attempting to pass again.
Penalty: Variable time penalty - Course: Cyclists must not cross a solid yellow center line for ANY reason. Cyclists must obey all applicable traffic laws at all times.
Penalty: Referee's discretion - ♦♦ Headphones ♦♦: Headphones, headsets, Walkmans, iPods, mp3 players, or personal audio devices, etc. are not to be carried or worn at ANY time during the race.
Penalty: Variable time penalty - Race numbers: All athletes are required to wear race numbers at all times during the run. Numbers must face the front and be clearly visible at all times. Numbers may not be cut or folded or altered in any way. DO NOT transfer your number to any other athlete or take a number from an athlete that is not competing.
Penalty: Variable time penalty for missing or altered number, Disqualification and one year suspension from membership in USAT for transferring a number without race director permission. - Abandonment: All personal equipment and belongings taken out onto the course must stay on the athlete the entire time. No garbage, clothing, etc. shall be thrown on the course.
