Triathlon Transitions
Triathlon Transitions
When taking part in a triathlon, you are going to have to change between the 3 sports. These changes are known as transitions. From Swimming to Bike is Transition 1 (T1), the second, from biking to running is known as T2. These transitions always take place in an area that is predefined by the race organizers. Do it somewhere else and you'll end up disqualified. The transition areas will give you a place to rack your bike and to lay out all the equipment that you need to compete in the event.
Transitioning from the swim part onto your bike can take a while. Ofter between 5 – 15 minutes. This will depend on how organized you are, and how much you've practiced the transitions during your training period. I'm going to be detailing a schedule for your training in later articles. You'll usually be putting two sports together in a training session, so will practice these transitions regularly. It's unnecessary to train all three sports on one session all of the time, but I'd recommend it at least once or twice before the actual event. You do however, want to get those muscles used to the feeling of changing between one discipline and another, or it's going to be pretty weird on the day, and likely very uncomfortable. I'd advise setting up a transition area on your training days, get everything set up as it will be for the event. It's good to keep the training as realistic as possible.
Training with a Busy Life
It's very possible to begin a triathlon training program even when you do have a busy life. If you write down exactly how many hours per week are dedicated to sleeping, eating, working, family life etc, you'll find that there are still plenty of days left in each week for training. And don't forget, time is the one thing that every human being has the same amount of, it's just how we choose to mange it and use it that differs. As you get into triathlon training, it is likely that it will consume a lot of your thinking time, but I'm going to show you a training program that won't consume all your waking time.
I'll be offering a detailed weekly training schedule for each of the event distances. As this set of articles is designed for beginners, we'll first be going through a complete program for the short distance events. If you haven't done any physical activity for a long time, check with your doctor to make sure you're up to it. And ensure that you can complete each of the week one events. If not you may have to work on your endurance for a few weeks first. No matter, this is a program designed to get you there, how quickly you complete it is irrelevant, completing it is the key.
