Nice video, would you recommend doing sprint or Olympic triathlon first attempt? I’ve 3 months to an event, I bike 100km a week and can do a 10km run…however no base in swimming……
definitely would recommend doing sprint first. even if you are fit enough to complete an Olympic, you'll have a better time doing a sprint i think because you'll be able to feel a bit better while doing it. also lots of little things that are hard to pick up in training but you learn in racing - so learning those at shorter distances which you can race more frequently is ideal
Cool nice video on this looking at doing my first triathlon at Mission Bay on 18.02.2024. Nice insight definitely appreciate this big ups👍 Running is usually my thing but keen to give this a go for a new challenge.
Solid race, congrats! I just did my second sprint a few weeks ago.
What watch do you use / how did you record it?
cheers! i use a garmin forerunner 945, and i put it on triathlon (or i think it might be called multisport) mode
nice !! what is your avg speed on the bike?
thanks, about 35km/h
How did you record it? Is there like a tri function on your watch or something like that?
yep exactly - so you fnisih the swim and press lap and it moves into t1, lap again and it moves to bike etc etc
nice race. So was it draft legal AND aerobar legal at the same time?
yep exactly - it's quite a family-friendly event, which tries to get first-timers involved so pretty much anything goes
