Considering doing a Triathlon? Here are 9 tips I would provide any triathlon beginner. <br />1. Swim Practice: Often the swimming part of the triathlon is the most difficult for athletes new to triathlons. <br />2. Transition Area: Check out the transition areas very well — the bike in and out area, the runout; all of it. <br />3. Performance Sunglasses: Even if it’s a cloudy day, you’ll still be thankful that you have good quality performance sunglasses. <br />4. Eating in T2: I recommend giving your body a little time to adjust before you take in any food. <br />5. Social Sessions: Get together with a group to train. <br />6. Cut Workouts Short: It’s better to be able to do future workouts and be consistent then it is to push yourself too hard. <br />7. Know-How to Make a U-turn On Your Bike: It’s important that you learn how to make a safe u-turn on your triathlon bike. <br />8. Performance, Not Better Equipment: It’s best to focus on having a better triathlon performance and not better equipment. <br />9. Back to Back Training Sessions: This will help to prepare your body for the actual triathlon better.
