best bike helmet triathlon image
bluasakura
I have already:
Bike part:
helmet, bike shoes, gloves, biking shorts, cycle computer
Running part:
running shoes, running shorts
Swim part:
a 1 piece swimsuit which I honestly wouldn't wear for swimming unless I was just with the kids
What else do I need? If I need a wet suit for the swimming part which will be in a lake this September, what kind do I need or does it matter?
Answer
For a triathlon the whole time is taken. This includes the transitions from swimming to bike to running.
You will have nowhere private to change between phases.
You need to choose a swimsuit you are happy to both cycle and run in.
Ditch the bike shorts and the running shorts.
Buy either a one piece tri suit or a tri shorts and tri top. (Some ladies use a bikini type brief.)
These have a thin pad for the bike built in.
It is very important you do not just wear this on the day. Train with the kit and find out what rubs.
Why do you want the computer on the bike? You are on a course and all you do is go as fast as you can!
Make sure you have the kit in a quick place to pick it up and practice the transition. (WET!) You will be amazed what will get caught when your are wet.
Cycle shoes that are worn with no socks same as the running shoes. Make sure they do not rub in practice. Again put them on wet before you try. Remember it may be raining as well.
Can you cycle in running shoes? It depends on your class and the event.
If so use Pyro's on the bike to give you the cycling platform. See internet.

Get elastic laces.
Get a number belt. You need to pick up your number so a belt is quickest.
How much will you need to train to cut 1 minute off your swim, run or cycle time? you can easily save 1 minute in the transition.
Again make sure you have your bike helmet secure before you touch your bike.
Many triathlons are won in transition not on the road.
Have fun.
Remember when you are half way through the cycle and realize you still have your swim goggles on you are not the fist to do this!

Good plan for a beginner preparing for a triathlon?
Beth
Hi! So this summer I wanted to do a fun challenge. Therefore, I decided to do a triathlon. I do not know where to begin for training though. Do you know of any good training plans I could do that are like 12 weeks long?
Answer
Join a triathlon training group! That is what I did! And it was a lot of fun! I joined a group that was training for a specific triathlon so that we would be prepared in time for the same race. Plus, I got to meet people that would do the triathlon with me, so that i wasn't lonely on race day! the main equipment you will need is a bike, bike helmet, running shoes, and a suim suit.
