SWIMMING

1st

  • That's right, for triathlon we start in the water! Sometimes it is in the pool but many times they are in lochs or the sea.

 

  • Swimming in a triathlon is pretty different from competitive indoor swimming.

​

  • Yes the ultimate goal of completing the distance as fast as possible is still the same.However in triathlon, you are aiming to be as efficient as possible to save energy (especially your legs) for the bike and run which is to come.

CYCLING

2nd

  • Most of us learnt to ride a bike many years ago.Triathlon cycling on the other hand is quite different to our stabilized bike days.

​

  • Adopting the race mindset from our leisure rides is what makes all the difference.

​

  • Cycling in a triathlon is the middle man and on average takes up the most time between the three disciplines.

​

  • Get used to your bike seat as you get those legs accustomed to all those miles to come.

RUNNING

3rd

  • Training to run in a triathlon is a little different to training for running on it's own.

​

  • It is all about being able to run efficiently with tired legs after having done the swim and the bike.

​

  • Although about 70% of your race is already done, you still need to get those legs moving to get you over the finishing line (hopefully with a smile on your face).
