* From 2002-2004, Life Time pitted the Women against the Men using an ‘equalizer’ format.

Athletes must compete in the Life Time Tri Minneapolis (July 13), Life Time Tri Chicago (August 25) and Life Time Tri Oceanside (October 20) to qualify for the Toyota Triple Crown. The Toyota Triple Crown Series will be raced in EQUALIZER FORMAT. The exact time gap between men and women pros will be determined the day before the race by race staff and will be announced at the Pro Meeting. Series points will still be assigned for men/women based on finish place within category. Click here for more information on the Toyota Triple Crown Series.
