The 2012 South West Challenge Series schedule has been released! This year there is 38 races in the series!!! What an amazing opportunity we have in NM and West Texas thanks to the series. The South West Challenge series is the largest and oldest multi-sport series in the world.
I was very excited to see that the South West Challenge Series schedule is finally out!!!! I was extremely disappointed to see that the Cochiti lake triathlon wasn't in the South West Challenge Series. Very disappointed indeed:-(
SW series rules is as follows: The 2012 Southwest Challenge Series links up the premier Duathlons and Triathlons in New Mexico and West Texas. Point standings are kept for each race based on finish by category with champions being crowned at the end of the season.
Anyone can participate. There is no extra cost for inclusion in the series. Entrance into any of the Southwest Challenge Series events will automatically make one eligible, and everyone is invited to enter all of these outstanding races. Points will be accumulated from your best eight finishes. However, there is a minimum of 5 races required to be considered for year end awards.
In other words, if you can outscore someone doing eight races by only completing seven or less, then total points prevail. Every race completed past eight will score an additional .25 points. In addition, the Buffalo Springs Lake 70.3 Triathlon will award bonus points at a 1.25 multiplier, i.e. 10 points x 1.25= 12.5 points.
