The American triple T is the only team tri tour in the US that i know of.

It consists of 4 races over 3 days in the mountains of southern Ohio.

Friday afternoon you race the prologue- 250m swim/5mi bike/1 mi run

Saturday morning you race an olympic distance 1500m swim/40k bike/6.5mi run

Saturday afternoon you race another olympic with the bike first    40k bike/1500m swim/6.5mi run

Sunday morning you race the half ironman  2000m swim/56mi bike/13.1mi run.

All of this is done on some of the hilliest roads in the area.

All racers were the same jersey given out as part of the race package.

You can race the weekend solo or as a team (team mates complete the race as a team time trial rather than a relay).

All races are started in TT fashion with athletes starting every 5 sec or so.
