Other Tips For Your First Triathlon:

Training and preparing for your first Triathlon can be daunting, even with your beginner triathlon training program.

You will need to plan from nutrition to knowing how to implement your race plan and all the transitions that come with it.

Being well prepared will give you a lot of confidence come race day.

As a rule, remember on race day never to go there with new nutrition plans or any new kit.

Find out your race start time and what time you need to rack your bike. Most triathlons start early in the morning, so make sure you get up early and practice early if you are not used to this time.

Prepare all your clothes and equipment the day before the race to avoid a last minute panic. Make sure that everything is in order and working properly. Pay extra attention to your bicycle.

Write a timetable for yourself. This should include what time you’ll have breakfast; what time you will warm up; and what time you will check in. If you have any pre-race nerves, try going for a small run to warm up. Doing some arm exercises and stretching also helps here.
