What is your favourite triathlon discipline? Let us know 👇
Nutrition!
Cycling actually ^^
Eating after the race.
I have done a test. Swimming a hour (non-stop) made me 5% faster with a wetsuit then without. I tested it in a 50 metric pool.
Favo discipline: swimming 🏊🏼♂️
Luckily my first Triathlon was swimming in a pool so no wet suits. However for next year one is on my to buy list :x
At 4:38 😂 just a purple body floating into the shot.
sleeveless or sleeves?
For my first Triathlon I went for renting one instead of straight out buying one
I looking to ditch my wadders for fishing and looking to grab a good wesuit. My needs for a suit are when i travel north and gey into cold waters. Tired of wadders lasting 1 season and dropping 300-500 on anothet pair. Pluss wadders can actually become dangerous depending on water current if you fall into the river.
Dont waders keep you dry too? Maybe a dry suit would be better for fishing
@logothaironsides2942 yea, I'm sure that would work also. I'm just not sure what route I will go.
I'm planning my first triathlon next year and this has come just in time so thank you! I did wonder if I could get away with my old surf wet suit - you've answered that question!
Just looking to get a wetsuit for excursing in the our back yard pool in the Floridain fall and winter and this was helpful had no idea swim wetsuits were a thing thanks!
Swimming is at the bottom of my list! However, a proper fitting wetsuit takes the swim life a bit easier! Thanks for the info GTN
isnt neoprene prohibited in races?
Watching this show to find out what I’m doing wrong.
Where was this filmed? 🙂
I used 3 wetsuits for a 777km swim. And 4 for a swim of 985km in 2019 (orca). Just in a rag☹️ They don't live long🤦🏻♂️
That sounds expensive. What budget would you recommend for a first triathlon wet suite?
Holy…. How long did that take?
@@allancox4694 the lower end entry models go for a few hundred and the top end about a thousand. I’d recommend one in the $300-$500 range (before discounts) for a good mix of longevity, performance, and value
@@allancox4694 Roka has $450+ (upper middle quality) wetsuits on sale for sub $300 all the time, their entry models start $200-$300 and can be had for sub $200 on sale quite often also.
@@erockem Thanks for the steer and good to have a budget in mind when looking.
