Triathlon race photos found by race number on every leg

A triathlete carries the same number in five places, and never all of them at once. In the water only the cap shows. In transition there is a body marking on the arm or calf. On the bike the number is on the helmet and the frame, on the run it is on the race belt. Photos from one leg look nothing like photos from the next, and a gallery that only reads chest bibs misses most of the swim and the bike.

Choose Triathlon when you create the event. Recognition reads the athlete's number on every leg: printed on the swim cap, written on the skin as body marking on the arm or calf, on a bib on the race belt or pinned to the kit, and on the helmet and bike stickers. When the same number shows in several places in a photo, it counts once. Lane numbers, buoys, distance signs, transition rack numbers with no athlete, boats and vehicles other than race bikes are ignored.

Add the list of valid numbers so that only participant numbers count. Selfie search uses a stricter face match in triathlon, because caps, goggles, helmets and sunglasses hide part of the face. Photos where nothing can be read can be tagged by hand, and the timeline lets athletes browse by time.

Photos from the swim exit, transition, bike course and finish come in from the browser, a cloud folder or straight from the camera over FTP, and are searchable minutes after upload. One search returns the athlete's photos from every leg. Embed the gallery on your own website or share a link with your results. If you decide to sell photos, connect Stripe and payments go to your own account. A private event limits access to registered athletes.
