best bike helmets for triathlon image
Soulja Boy
Okay, I'm 12 years old and the triathlon is:
A 200 metre swim (lol, lame)
A 9 kilometre bike
And a 3 kilometre run.
Can someone tell me what times I should be completing each of these seperately and altogether. Thanks.
Answer
200 M swim should be done in around 3-4 minutes. If you forget to clip that helmet it results in a DQ. Every race I've ever been in has at least 1 helmet DQ and it usually occured coming out of T1.
You should be able to bike at around 15 mph for the distance. SO I'd guess around 22 minutes. Transition 2 should take about 1:30.
When you get to the 3K and your legs aren't bricks, you should be able to do it in about 16 minutes.
In a nutshell...
Swim 4 min.
T1 2 min
Bike 22 min
T2 1-2 min
Run 16 min
Total 48 minues.
Triathlons are a sport unto themselves -- when you come out of the water you'll be disoriented. You'll lose any time from sprinting that distance in T1 trying to figure out where your bike is.
When you get off your bike your legs can feel like bricks (Hence the term BRICK workouts). Go ride your bike for 20 minutes at a good pace then get off your bike and try to run 1 mile.

Swim gear: www.Swimoutlet.com You can get a pair of compression jammers for $15 and Sporti or Clubswim S2 goggles are identical to Speedo Vanquishers but are half the price. I'd get one for training and one for race day.
Bike gear: Figure out what size you need for a bike if you don't have one already. If you know what you need with regard to size, www.bikesdirect.com is a good place to get an entry level roadie. Get your local LBS or better yet a cycling center to give you a bike fit on it for $100. Or even better, borrow a bike from a friend. You're going to need a cheap $12 bicycle helmet from Walmart -- can't race without one.
Run Gear: Go to a local running store (Mom and pop shop) that has a treadmill where they can analyze your run form and suggest a running shoe. OR the cheap way is to go to any clearance section, try on a pair of running shoes. Run the length of the store a few times and if you feel ANY pressure points go to the next pair.
Get a race belt to put your race number on -- saves 30 seconds in transition and a cheap wal-mart pair of sunglasses for $10 for the bike.
The cheaper you can go on the race the better. Aero wheels, aero helmets, $5000 carbon frames, gear geeks and weight weenies alike are all hype. If you're within 5 minutes of a podium finish then $5000 will help. Until then, your limiter is the engine.
