I’m the first to admit that I am totally and completely clueless when it comes to triathlons. Basically, all I can tell you is that you swim, bike, and run. Oh, and I know what a brick is! Woohoo! Good for me!
However, when it comes to all the logistics of training, transitions, gear, etc., I don’t know a single thing! And since my triathlon is coming up fairly quickly, I’ve been doing my research so that I don’t go into my first tri without knowing what I’m doing. (I know I wouldn’t be the first one, but I lack a lot of confidence if I don’t feel like I know exactly what I need to do!) So, I turned to my blogging buddies for their advice and got some really awesome tips and posts to link up to. For your (well, really my) convenience, here are some of the best tips on how to be a triathlete:
