Great question! In triathlon races (in USA), there is a “no cell phone” policy. Music/ear phones are also prohibited. This is for safety of the athletes (ie so you can hear cars while cycling). You could leave your cell in a backpack in transition. But, personally, I leave my cell in my car, bc there’s very limited room in transition.

@courtneysmithtriathlon thank you, it didn't occur to me about the safety issue

@courtneysmithtriathlon This one I don't know where, will be my first

I don’t think ww truly know what causes it. But, many triathletes I know have them every once in a while. Even triathletes who have been doing the sport for years. Personally, I have never had one if I am not wearing a wetsuit. I think it has to do with the constriction of wetsuits (for me).

@courtneysmithtriathlon oh I see, I think I undersant now. Never happened to me though, I feel like I wear a protective armor.

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks Oscar!!!! It’s my new workout dance routine!! 😆😂🥳🪩🕺🏻💃🌽

So glad you enjoyed the tips! Thank you for watching 🙏 It’s great you found a local group. You will meet fellow athletes and have fun. It’s always nice to have a group to train with, and they will also be your biggest fans/cheer sections at races. Have fun and happy training!

Most welcome! You got this. 🙌 Just focus on finishing and having fun. You’ll learn something new with every race. If you have any questions, please ask. I’ll answer as best I can ☺️

@ I’m signed up for 3, 1st is learning how it works from bib pickups to starting and transitioning. Then I’m going to start really pushing for performance. I’m running 4 times a week biking 3 and swimming 3. Weights two days, could use some tips to avoid over or under training. I’m in pretty good shape but want to be at my best, I have until may to be tuned in.

No bike helmet? 😉 Weather, personal preference, etc. have a lot to do with equipment list. Hot temp races in US mean salt/nutrition are important. If water is too warm, wetsuits are not allowed. Personally, I would never race without a hat/visor/sunglasses. But again, it’s all about where you are racing and personal preference. Thanks for the feedback, and good luck in your upcoming races! 🙌

Thanks my friend! Hope you are well! 🙂

Congrats on your 5k! And what a wonderful cause. 🙏☺️ I know it can be frustrating to see others running longer distances. You will get there. Running is really just about consistency. Walk/run is one of the healthiest things you can do for your body. So you are doing great! You are allowing your heart rate to go back down when you walk, which helps train your cardio system. Keep doing that consistently, and over time you will do longer distances. Also, if you can find little hills, walk up those ☺️ they help a lot. You are doing great!! Please don’t hesitate to comment with any other questions, as I will help provide any insight I can! Great work 🙌🫵💪

Yes! Loved her advice! So true 🙌

Love Tennessee! Great people, beautiful state!

Thank you for the sub 🙏 I wear polarized Siroko glasses. I’ll link to my favorite ones. Awesome! Don’t give up on the sport ☺️🙌 You can do it!

@@courtneysmithtriathlon I absolutely LOVED it! It was the first time I’ve ever finished a race (usually I am runner), that I didn’t pick on myself for my performance. I felt COMPLETE when I was done. I’M HOOKED!

Thank you! ☕️☺️
