Let me add that if you are on the fence about starting the sport because you worry about being judged by the more hardcore triathletes, don't be. I'm a newbie who is very slow and has crappy equipment, but I was never made to feel like didn't belong there.
Besides, hardcore triathletes are busy with sport watch and bike computer readings, the less advanced participants are not of their concerns.
I always had the idea that everyone was full on at a tri, but that comes from watching too many pro videos. My brother has done a few and I was surprised that he said many people plan to walk the run, even the Ironman he did he said people trained to do the swim in 2 hours, bike in 8 and speed walk the 26.2 in 7 hours. That opened my eyes. And yes, at his encouragement I have booked my first tri, a 70.3 called the Ultimate. If the training goes well I may up it to the full. And I am a weak swimmer, weak cyclist and weak runner.
Good luck, preparation is the key!
@@heatherfell_oly Thanks, the videos you all do are helpful and inspiring!
Thank you so much! This was an eye opener!!!
How did it go?
@@FinalFilmComment Good, thanks, it was a.lot of fun and I have the next one booked!
I did my first triathlon in 2019 at the age of 66yrs. I ended up doing three 'super sprint' events in the year, two pool based and one open water. My background is in cycling, I had not had a swimming lesson in my life before May 2019. I swam breaststroke for each of the events. I did a couch to 5k running programme starting in Aug 2018 as part of my recovery from a serious injury ( I broke the ball off the top of my right femur). All of this background is to ask for advice on starting triathlons as an 'older athlete' and also 'coming back from serious injury'.
It is still the same rule, you need to give yourself time and have a training plan to follow. Be realistic with your goals and add in plenty of strength and conditioning with your background. Good luck.
My first brick session was during a sprint triathlon. That was the slowest 5k I ever ran.😆
Booked my first yesterday! I’m so excited 😆
Tia B That’s amazing! congrats!
Great to hear 👍
I’m super nervous for my first triathlon this Sunday! Definitely feel like I’m winging it. Wish me luck!!!!
How did it go?
How was it
Some great tips that I will add to the ones I already give my athletes...thanks
I'm starting to transition from short course to mid distance and am signed up for my first ever full distance Ironman this year. I'd love to see a video on how to navigate the bike aid station. I'm always afraid I'm going to injure one of the volunteers, or commit some etiquette faux pas. Love all the videos to help navigate this wonderful sport!
Wish I knew all this before I started doing Tri's. I just signed up, went and did a sprint length, I was HOOKED!
4:42 Elastic laces work fine, but not elastic can be accomodated for various foot conditions: broad, narrow, high arch, even shoe to toe contact can be alliviated using special lacing style.
You can make a video on this topic.
I only tie my shoes after I get them and after I wash them lol
How do I sneak a new bike in the house? 😏🤷♂️
TriathlonDan ahahah ❤️❤️❤️
By a bike box, tell it's for travel, keep new bike inside locked.
😂 brilliant
👏👏👏👏
Buy one that’s the same colour as the old one.
Brilliant help!
Im 15 and i am doing research on it and practicing to do a iorn man 70.3 or a triathlon
WOW awesome! You inspire us! We are also training for an iron man 70.3 this year and are documenting our journey, along with sharing some studies and research on training along the way! Let us know if you like our content! :)
Great 👍🏽
Thanks
These videos are so helpful. Thank you!!!
"you are going to need to do some training"....thank you!
Joking aside, thank you for some very useful tips as always :-)
I have my first triathlon in June. Goose bumps when I think about it. Found 1/8IM near me, great distance but quite fast. I took some more time to prepare because I know I can't workout 6+ times a week. So I started in October...
Good luck!
@@heatherfell_oly thank you!
I run a 21 minute 5k. Swimming isn’t a huge challenge but it the swimming endurance could be better. My legs are quite strong from rowing, running, and jumping rope. I need to work on upper body strength.
How many days complete rest do you have before racing a triathlon ?
Gary Lucas most programs recommends 4 days prior the race: an nice and easy swim session; a bike session (30-40 mins with 5-10 mins Tri effort); light open water swim on site; 15 mins bike to check the mecanical; race day.
Gabriel Minville thanks Gabriel appreciate your feedback , have a great 2020 👌🏻
It depends on the amount of training you're doing already. If you do want a complete rest day factor that in a couple of days pre race so you can get your legs moving again before the big day.
I signed up for an Xterra as my first tri next summer. What could possibly go wrong?
If you're used to mountain biking then it really is no different to a normal Olympic distance tri so you should be fine.
Awesome - good luck!
Do you recommend socks for cycling? I noticed in the video that a lot of them were jumping onto the bike without them.
I use no socks for Sprint and Olympic distance both for the bike and run, anything longer and i use socks. But everyone is different so my advice is to test it out in training.
roydos okay great! Thank you 😃
Good advice - we say the same. Test out what works for you in training and go for it 🙂
You’re so radiant, I’d love more food tips ...
We've got more nutrition videos coming.
I would love to focus on Cross Triathlons. Are there any specifics to keep in mind or is it just the same but offroad.
Anyone got tips for swimming in open water? Should you always have someone with you? Noticed a few swimmers having some kind of floating device attached to them. Thanks
A float..to mark the spot where you sunk and drowned ...so they know where the body is.
Is there any specific request for a helmet? Or could be just a basic one? Im thinking to buy a cheap alternative from China. Thanks.
Great video! I am documenting my triathlon journey and just posted a video recently on how fasted training can be beneficial! Hope that information can be of help as any of you train for your first triathlon! :)
Just worried about being cut off on iron man bike
I use elastic laces all the time. Tremors
Don't borrow a bike you've not used before for race day!
Or be a real legend and do an Ironman as your first triathlon. 100% boss move
That's one way to look at it but not recommended :0
The longing class sicily approve because february anatomically measure absent a thirsty end. zonked, confused range
